(deep sigh) A moment of silence please for my sanity and tortured heart after reading this book. I could never rule a continent, or the galaxy for that matter, cause backstabbers are fucking REAL. whAT ThE HELL did I just read.... There were defo some slower moments in this book, but the last 15 pages or so, the truth test and the gala were some of the most defining and memorable parts of the series thus far. I need to digest this book, because I seriously just got fucking 'Red Wedding' trauma from reading this and I have no idea what is going to happen now. I like being familiar with all the same characters, and I glad we finally have some closure on a lot of things, but my god I don't see how we can go back to where they were after what just happened. My jaw is on the floor, will keep you posted if I find it.
