I absolutely loved the sequel and although it took me longer than usual to finish it it was only because I wanted to savour every moment. Sarah J. Maas Thrives on creating a real interesting unique characters. So many of them are morally gray where you love them for so many reasons but you can equally hate them as well. I enjoyed reading from all the different perspective I liked how each character had somewhat of their own story line I didn’t necessarily follow everything that the two main characters were doing and each character had their own agenda and things to work through.

The ending blew my mind as I’m sure it did to many readers and I don’t know how I’m gonna be able to wait for the next one. This book just proved to me that SJM is an amazing author and for a good reason. She is phenomenal at spinning stories leading clues for the reader and still shocking them at the end.

Although this series is yet to be my favorite, it definitely has the potential to be my favourite series written by her.

Holy shitfuck. This is my favourite Sarah J Maas series so far. I love the story, the characters and the setting. I am in constant awe how well thought out these books are. Information that was dumped upon us on some random page in the first book come back to make itself relevant again. Ever word she writes will come back to claim its meaning and I enjoy every second of it. This ending will keep me in knots until the next book comes out, and I simply can not wait for that day to arrive. Have a sexy, feisty, funny and emotional read with this one!
