I have never felt such a volley of emotions. I loved this book so much. I'm sad to let it go, but I know it will live in my heart forever.

Wow. What an ending. This is a series I would happily start over from book one having just put down the final book. I cried several times. Great writing.

“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom…”

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

Oh my goodness, what a phenomenal ending to such an incredible series! I put off reading this book for years because it was so long (980 pages…) but I’m so glad I’ve finally read it!

I won’t be going into the plot of this book, being that it’s the last in a long series but I absolutely loved the storyline and the ending. My favourite thing about this series is without a doubt the characters! The fact that Maas can create all of these incredible characters and make them all so unique and well written is astonishing, to be honest. Sometimes it can feel like an author introduces too many characters and they all start to feel very basic and similar but that’s never the case with Sarah J. Maas. 

Aelin continues to be one of, if not my favourite book characters of all time. Honestly, I don’t understand how anyone couldn’t adore her!

Overall this series was outstanding and I’m glad I’ve finally completed the series!
