Like some of the previous books in this series, this was slow to start. Once I was fully immersed in the story though I flew through it.

All in all, this was a wonderful round-up of a series that had been recommended to me by so many, that has had twists and turns along the way. Good and bad. Surprising and ones I had worked out.

I loved the ending, and it makes me wonder if they really did live out their days as they planned. I cried buckets through the last quarter, which I had been warned about. Emotional isn't the word. Though if you don't get emotionally invested in characters then you might just be okay.

The book rounded up all the plots and didn't leave any gaps. It was a bittersweet ending, but a fantastic one regardless.

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.

Amazing 

The last book gave us one or two good plot twists but this one does too! The ending was satisfying and neatly wrapped up. I’m always sad when I finish this book because I know it’s all over.
