And I will not be afraid….
CAUSE IVE OFFICIALLY FINISHED READING THROUGH THE SJM UNIVERSE AND I DON’T KNOW HOW TO COPE WITH IT😭
Holy shit monkeys. WOW. Just… wow….
I feel like I adored all of the SJM sagas but Throne of Glass really got me feeling lots of feelings. It was a slow burn love story between me and the series because it started off being real meh and turned into one of my all time fav series. I loved it. Seriously. I’m gonna force anyone who will listen to me to read it.
Onto Kingdom of Ash in particular:
This finale was epic. So much heart was put into it and the war and chaos and grief aspects were beautifully done. For a series with a crazy amount of characters, all of their stories were all lovingly ended and tied with a bow. Even Aedion, whom I shan’t punch. (I’ve forgiven his antics)
The sense of peace and hope this book ended with… TEARS!!! So many tears were shed throughout, though. And even though I believe the ending was perfect I STILL WANT MORE DAMMIT!
I want an entire epilogue book that’s written 10 years in the future cause I wanna check on everybody and see how they’re all doing! They deserve a happy book like ACOTAR got with frost and starlight.
In conclusion, I’m gonna miss these characters very very much.
Anywho, I’m distraught. Bye. ✌️

This book was a struggle for me to get through. I believe it would’ve 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 couldn’t get into the story.
I enjoyed the multiple POV’s that was shown throughout the book, but there were times I was confused on whose POV I was reading next. I enjoyed the different POV’s 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 it’s 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

It’s been two days, I changed my rating from 4.75 to 4. I remembered more that frustrated me.
