Short read but it makes for a great way to tie off the last book, going over the things the characters need to do in order to move on with their lives and start building peace in the world. I truly admire how Sarah J. Maas doesn't just end the series with a "happily ever after" just because the war ends- she's diving into more world building, world healing, and giving us a new perspective by giving us POVs from other main characters and their struggles. I truly feel like I'm a part of this world when I'm reading these books, and now that this one is finished, I plan to re-read the others.

This book gave me so much satisfaction- the plotting and revenge are beautiful to me, regardless of consequences. Another masterpiece.

My favorite book in the series- one I plan to re-read just for how much of the plot is explained within it, the wonder of it all, the character development. Absolutely beautifully written as always.

This book- and entire series, are the best of every fantasy/romance series without the worst of it. The world-building is astoundingly detailed, without boring the reader with too much. I've found my new favorite series.
