I loved 90% of this book. It took me a really long time to warm up to this series and I really loved it, until the final climax of this book.

The ending was a big fucking disappointment and I don't think I will ever be over my anger and frustration. Not only do we have our female character loses all her powers, but we also have someone else defeat the Big Bad of the series. We've spent 8 books building up to Aelin saving everyone, and then she loses her powers and its a minor character that defeats the Big Bad? It's like if at the end of Harry Potter, he lost his magic, and Justin Finch-Fletchly ended up killing Voldemort. No real pay of, no feeling of triumph for all she's done and been through? Incredibly disappointing and it has tainted my feelings towards the entire series. I finally felt like there would be a good pay off for it's shitty beginning but no, it was a big fucking let down.

I am very disappointed. It is so hard to give this book a star rating because of the 10% that not only was subpar, but actively ruined the rest of it for me. It is only getting this star rating because the 90% was good. If it was down to the 10% then it would be getting 0 stars.

Whew. I got a little worried toward the end and wasn't sure if I could finish. There were so many plot points to keep up with and I felt like every couple of pages was some sort of mind-boggling plot twist, martyrdom, or marathon between characters racing to the finish before their clock stopped. Ultimately I liked it but I'm glad it's over.

Wow, just wow. I'm giving this one 5 stars for the overall journey of the world of TOG. Reading all of these works and seeing SJM grow as an author has been super fun. You could feel the love that she has for these characters coming off right the page. What a wonderful end to an epic story.

This book is truly an emotional journey. 

I think there are parts that could’ve been shorter and still had the same impact (the steps leading up to finding Aelin or the fight at Orynth when they were going to die at every turn).

Granted with all the surprises, it had to be somewhat spread out.

There were so many heartbreaking events in this book and I think a lot of amazing scenes that showed character growth and healing.

I love that Yrene was able to take down Erawen - it was a joint battle with everyone not all on Aelin.

Dorian finding out that Dorian was literally his father’s name plus his father getting to atone is amazing.

Also fuck the gods, literally they suck ass. I’m glad Aelin didn’t lose all her powers completely.

Seeing everyone rallying together and the hope for a better future was really fun to read, I also enjoyed after the battle with Aelin getting to thank everyone.

I think this book  was good at pulling you into the scenes and making you realize just how lucky they were with timings or making you feel despair over the situation at Orynth. Whatever SJM wanted me to feel, that’s what I was feeling.

adventurous dark emotional

5.0

Den sista delen i glastronen-serien. Jag älskar verkligen hela serien och tycker att detta var ett fantastiskt avslut på serien. Jag grät mig igenom de sista 300 sidorna och älskade varenda sekund. Detta kommer nog vara en av de bästa serierna jag läst för alltid, inte för att den är skriven bra utan för att jag kommit att älska karaktärerna och att jag önskar dem en bättre värld. 

Jag rekommenderar starkt till alla som gillar fantasy att läsa den här boken/serien. Första boken i serien är glastronen och handlar om Celaena, Adarlans lönnmördare, som blivit utvald att tävla i en turnering i slottet. 

Spoiler för andra böcker i serien 

Aelin är tillfångatagen av Maeve och de andra är splittrade ute på olika uppdrag. Kommer de att lyckas? Kan alla enas för att rädd världen? Kommer löftet och önskan om en bättre värld att segra eller döms dem till evigt mörker av Erawans?

Som sagt rekommenderar jag alla fantasy älskare att läsa denna serie. De är otroligt bra böcker, speciellt de senare i serien.
