Really great book. I love Sarah J. Maas’ writing style. I love the characters so much and it really made me feel everything. Screaming, crying, throwing up.

WHY DID NEHEMIA HAVE TO DIEEE. I also shipped Chaol and Celaena but whyyy did it have to end like this… also if something would’ve happened to Fleetwood j would’ve lost it.

The first half of the book was rather slow, which I can get, making things slow down before all hell breaks loose. Abd boy did all hell break loose! Some of these lines were so powerfull, but I shall not spoil a thing and leave it for the readers to enjoyyyy
