If I could give this a six 🌟s, I would. The amount of times this book shattered my heart, put it back together, shattered it again, and the way it put it back together in the end made me feel so much and I cannot tell you how many times I cried reading the second half of this book :’) I have so many feelings and so much love for all of these characters — both as individuals and as a group — and for the story that is happening alongside them. The way the end tied up everyone’s love for each other, as friends or otherwise, hurt SO badly in such a good way. I’m scared to see what comes next … but I look forward to reading about my absolute favorite fantasy characters kicking ass in the last 3 books of my new favorite fantasy series. ⚔️
