A review by lesliebcook
Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

I have been a huge fan of ACOTAR since I first read the series in 2020 but I’ve never gotten the hype around TOG. I struggled through the first 3 books so much so that I’m surprised I even made it to Queen of Shadows but, now that I’m here, I’m glad I did. This is really where SJM starts to hit her stride in my opinion. I don’t remember the last time a book has moved me to tears! This ties up a lot of plot points that had me wondering where the heck we were going and gives us some huge character development in really surprising and meaningful ways. I’m really anxious to see where the rest of the series goes; for once, I have no idea what the next three books could hold and I’m excited to find out!
