i will preface this review by saying that i think i would’ve enjoyed this a lot more if i’d reread the first two books. i would highly recommend you reread Chain of Gold and Chain of Iron before reading this!!
i found Chain of Thorns to be a bit slow and dragging, the plot was confusing and i know that’s because the characters don’t really know what’s going on but it just left me not knowing what was happening, so i was only invested in the romances, not the actual fantasy plotline with Belial and everything. 
half the characters were very frustrating and half were wonderful. 
so it was a mixed experience. 

like i said above, i should’ve reread the first two books (and potentially the infernal devices as well) however i simply could not be bothered and i also was very excited to read this. there were just too many things i didn’t remember and while i could infer well enough it still would’ve been nice to understand more and also be more invested in the story and characters. i also read it in random chunks across about a week and i think that negatively impacted my reading experience too.

This was a great finale! I laughed, cried, was stressed. The poor Merry Thieves were put through so much in this series! I do think that parts near the beginning could have been trimmed or cut out - this book dragged through the beginning and was longer than it needed to be. But I did enjoy as we got farther into the book and the ending was brilliant.
