What a great finale. I don’t have much to say. I cried. I laughed. I was STRESSED it was emotional and inspiring. I loved the characters, their growth throughout, and the way they tackle their problems. I love the thirteen. Yrene is amazing and all of the women throughout this story are badass.

I did feel like there were a few moments where the story dragged but not enough to take away from the general impact of the story.  So many amazing moments

A suitable conclusion to the series, if long. My main critique of the series as a whole is that the timeline is way off. Everything, from Throne of Glass through Kingdom of Ash, takes place over roughly one year. Ridiculous. The character development, the training montages, the evolution of the plot, it would all make way more sense if it occurred over several years, at least. Not to mention the sheer length of the novels. However, I can pretend the timeline isn't bonkers—

sorry, how many couples met, fell in love, and married in just 12 months????

—so I'll just say the end had me in tears.

stuck the landing!! was cynical coming into this book after the tandem reading experience dragged for me (until the latter 25% of the story). despite this, i absolutely flew though this book. 

what an emotional payoff this series lends itself to! a neatly tied bow, makes me want to reread the series to appreciate their journey all the more intensely knowing how it all ends :') 

my favorite characters constantly shifted because they were each so unique and dynamic. 

while i have a slew of criticisms for the book (i.e. if i have to read "tawny eyes", "bloody ribbons", or "rutting" again i may weep), now isn't the time for me to levy them, lol. i really enjoyed this book.

This was an amazing end to a brilliant series. I am in awe of the world that Sarah J Maas has created and the characters that have stolen my heart. I cried reading the ending because Aelin was a character that I came to know and love. After reading through all of her heartbreaking experiences, finally seeing the end is bittersweet. The ending was much better than anticipated and I cannot wait to read Sarah’s new book in January! Sad that the throne of glass series is over but it will forever be one of my favorites.

I have no words good enough to explain how amazing this book is!!! This book ripped me apart, and left me in pieces. But then made my heart soar! So much sacrifice! So much loss! And then sooo much love!!! These characters & the love they share for one another is pure magic! More magical then any of the magic in the book!! 

But spoiler alert.. fuck the gods! They don’t deserve any fucking sacrifices!! They piss me the hell off & I could have done without their holier then now attitudes! lol

Throne of Glass is, and will forever be, Sarah J. Maas's best series. This was complete with so much joy, character development, genuine loss, belief that the odds will remain stacked against them, everything. There were multiple parts where I started to tear up like the last scene with the Thirteen, but ESPECIALLY

finding out that Erawan took the King of Ardalan's name, and finding out that he remembered it only once, and it was when he held Dorian for the first time. TEARS. I love that SJM had the King make a reappearance, and Dorian finally got some sort of closure with him. It was really sincere to see him as the father he might have been.

 

I also love that Aelin got to be happy in the end, I think that's all she deserved after everything. SJM excels at writing emotional arcs, and I really enjoy how she didn't shy away from Aelin's deep, deep depression after her torture with Maeve. It tied in so well and harkened back to Heir of Fire in the best way possible. 

ANYWAYS, I could talk about this baby for ages, just please read it. I'm so sad it's over. But also

Rhysand cameo???? I knew about the multiverse theory but like,,, it feels REAL and I'm shook
