I don’t quite have the words to describe how I feel after having finished this book- and this series.
I’m certain I wept the entirety of the last 25% of the novel. And then laughed in the last few pages. And cried again when I realised it was all finished.
The whole way through I didn’t want it to end. It was truly jam packed with action and heart.
I really enjoyed - though this is a loose term given the context- the development of the relationship between Fenrys and Aelin. This novel made me appreciate his character a whole lot more. Everytime either one of them started blinking, I just wanted to weep.
I don’t know if I’ll ever stop thinking about Manon, Abraxos and The Thirteen. Even though I had a heads up about something coming, nothing would prepare me for the emotional impact it would have.
I had no real interest in Gavriel beyond this book but oh boy did this one get me. I had guessed it was coming in the previous book, but it still hurt. The what-ifs of it all make it all the more devastating.
I’m obviously thrilled at the development of Aedion and Lysandra, though how it was dragged out across so many books was wild to me. Do not get me started on ‘So Lorcan did’ - crime against humanity honestly. Though Lord Lorcan Lochan is genuinely hilarious.
I feel happy with how the series wrapped up, and am satisfied with all the loose ends being tied up nicely in a bow- I just wish it didn’t have to end at all.
