This book was huge but it was honestly worth every single word! 

As this is book three in the series, I’m not going to delve into the plot much because spoilers, but oh my fucking god, this book, and series, is absolutely insane!

I love Maas’s characters, I can safely say that I am attached to each and every one of them and will defend them with my life. 

Spoiler, but honestly, if you don’t know about it yet, I don’t know what to say, but Velaris! Nesta and Az! Cassian and Rhys and Amren! I don’t think I’ll recover. 

I will admit, I would’ve liked a little more for the inner circle, especially the missing characters such as Feyre, Mor and Elain. Also, Feyre and Rhysand with little Nyx but I can wait… 

Also, I want a book that is just Bryce’s parents, Ember and Randall, in Velaris with the Inner Circle. Honestly, I need it…

Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll be rocking back and forth in a dark corner should anyone need me…
