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!
