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.

I wish that we found out what happens afterword, some sort of epilogue set years in the future showing that everyone is married and happy and starting families. But I also like where it did end. Just a minor glimpse of the happiness that they might experience now that they have saved all of Erilea.
Also fuck SJM for killing all of the thirteen that shit broke my heart so thoroughly same with Gavin. I can't believe that she did that to me. I was not ready. I knew people were going to die but I was not expecting them. I thought if anything it was going to be Manion and Darion or maybe even Aelin. I sobbed so fucking hard. Both during the scene where they died but also when Marion went to the spit where they died and mourned. I could not handle it and just sobbed. I was just a heart renching scene and I was not quite prepared for it. Then again I don't think that anyone is prepared for it even if they have had it spoiled for them.
This series has become one of my all time favorites and definitely one that I will reread over and over again. Sarah J Maas definitely knows how to write a good fantasy book. One that makes you laugh, cry, cheer and dream with all of her characters. Can't wait to see what her Crescent City series brings to us.

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
