Wow. 
All I keep saying is wow. I finished this series like 6 hours ago but I still haven’t left this world. I think this story will stay with me for the rest of my life.
Yrene is the GOAT of this book, Aelin a close second. I knew about the losing powers trope beforehand but I’m glad she at least kept her immortality. 
The thirteens sacrifice killed me off the most, I felt my heart break for this team of loyal warriors who gave their lives for their wing leader. I’m welling up even writing this and thinking about it all over again.
Manon and Dorian deserved a proper ending, but I don’t mind the openness. In my mind, they continued meeting up and she eventually removed her immortality to be with him.
Fenrys. Sweet baby fenrys. The most underrated character.
The keys really felt pointless in this book, the only annoying part with the 8 book build up of importance. They could have waited and stored the keys somewhere safe, killed them both and idk, whatever afterwards😂
Special shout-out to another underrated love, Elide. Bold, brave, loyal, fearless… and she even made me love lorcan a little too.
Aedion ruined this book for me, my love for him vanished when he had the audacity to do Lysandra dirty. I will not forgive as easily as she did.
