Wow. What an ending. This is a series I would happily start over from book one having just put down the final book. I cried several times. Great writing.

Oh my goodness, what a phenomenal ending to such an incredible series! I put off reading this book for years because it was so long (980 pages…) but I’m so glad I’ve finally read it!

I won’t be going into the plot of this book, being that it’s the last in a long series but I absolutely loved the storyline and the ending. My favourite thing about this series is without a doubt the characters! The fact that Maas can create all of these incredible characters and make them all so unique and well written is astonishing, to be honest. Sometimes it can feel like an author introduces too many characters and they all start to feel very basic and similar but that’s never the case with Sarah J. Maas. 

Aelin continues to be one of, if not my favourite book characters of all time. Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t adore her!

Overall this series was outstanding and I’m glad I’ve finally completed the series!

This was a great conclusion to a wonderfully epic series. My only complaint is the battle scenes started drag a bit towards the end.

This was the perfect ending to the 8 book series. All of the plot lines finally converging, the battles, it was all done so well. Highly recommend doing the tandem before this. It felt like it trickled into this perfectly. 

I spent so much of the end crying, but the worst deaths for me were the thirteen. Their sacrifice had me sobbing for an hour. The character growth for all of the characters was such a fun thing to read.

I’m truly sad the series is over but the happy ending was worth it. One of the best books I’ve read in a long time.
