This book was an amazing follow up from Throne of Glass. Like common! I enjoyed every bit of it from beginning to end. I laughed, I cried, I got pissed, and I even hurt. What still sits within me is the way one of my favourite characters wound up. I was like why, no! But then again would I wind up loving this book as much if it didn’t happen. My best answer is no.

I saw the ending coming, but I still wasn’t ready for it.

The book destroyed me emotionally. No complaints.
