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.

This book was a struggle for me to get through. I believe it wouldβve been better for this book to have split into two books, as I found it to be slow moving and very long.
I already knew quite a lot of what was going to happen in this book, so to be honest I was dreading the read. I was originally going to read it as a kindle book but switched to audio as I couldnβt get into the story.
I enjoyed the multiple POVβs that was shown throughout the book, but there were times I was confused on whose POV I was reading next. I enjoyed the different POVβs in situations such as, when it involves the war, personal things and relationships.
As this was a very long book I was slowly losing my interest as I felt it was just dragging on. However, even though it dragged on I loved seeing the character developments as they battle problems physically and mentally.
I believe this book was about coming together as one big family and fighting for what they love most. Whether itβs people, a kingdom or their future. This is especially shown in the eyes of Evangeline, even though she is such a cutie they looked to her as their future and why they were fighting so hard for it.
I did enjoy how there was different locations that the characters visited to fight the Valg and protect what was theirs. But also inspiring more and more people to help them fight in the war for a better world.
I would have liked to have had an epilogue to see where all the characters were in a few years time from the events, but did like how Sarah finished the book by bringing it full circle to the people who first started this series x

This was a mammoth of a book, yet I expected nonetheless for the grand finale. Suuuper emotional first third of the book. I cried maybe every other chapter. Slower paced than the other books in the series at times but that may have been because itβs such a long read and we are in battle for a very long time. I cannot believe I almost didnβt read Throne of Glass in general and am so happy that I did after ACOTAR. Iβm really sad about saying goodbye to these characters. Satisfied with some parts of the ending yet underwhelmed with others. Iβm exhausted.

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 pagesβ¦) but Iβm so glad Iβve finally read it!
I wonβt be going into the plot of this book, being that itβs 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 thatβs never the case with Sarah J. Maas.
Aelin continues to be one of, if not my favourite book characters of all time. Honestly, I donβt understand how anyone couldnβt adore her!
Overall this series was outstanding and Iβm glad Iβve finally completed the series!

this book WRECKED me. itβs been awhile since a book had me crying ugly tears (snot bubbles & all). i was surprised at what exactly brought those tears on.
i loved this book despite its length and often vivid descriptions of gore. this definitely should be presented with a content warning so that others have a chance to fully understand what theyβre getting into prior to picking it up. i understand the point of it (kind of) but there could have been less IMO.i really didnβt need close to a quarter of the book to contain vivid descriptions of aelinβs torture and time locked in what was essentially a coffin
while i have some
gripes this is absolutely a 5 star read thanks to the emotions it elicited. it was worth the slow start of the series and the slower starts to each book to make it here.
