This was a mammoth of a book, yet I expected nonetheless for the grand finale. Suuuper emotional first third of the book. I cried maybe every other chapter. Slower paced than the other books in the series at times but that may have been because it’s such a long read and we are in battle for a very long time. I cannot believe I almost didn’t read Throne of Glass in general and am so happy that I did after ACOTAR. I’m really sad about saying goodbye to these characters. Satisfied with some parts of the ending yet underwhelmed with others. I’m exhausted.
