4.5

A very good finale, although the start was let down by following on from the previous book’s cruelly horrific cliffhanger. Nevertheless, it picked up very quickly and gave all the great characters fitting stories to use and deepen them.

A very emotional fast moving final installment. 

Some of the build up for the plot fell a little flat 

Wryd gate and the lock?

Such an epic, mind-blowing last journey.
I am devastated that it has come to an end... This series has made me feel so much.
Aelin is for real my favorite FMC of all time. She is so strong, the brightest flame, I love her with all my heart. Her journey was so heartbreaking but amazing. She never gave up. 

This book is filled with war, the battle against Erawan and his Valg army. It's very well structured. Seperate wars are colliding into 1 final battle which made it really interesting because a big part of this book is a going-on war. The emotions throughout the book are so real. Their fear, despair, love, friendship, unwaver, dedication,.... It's a rollercoaster and it has made me smile, sob and ugly cry. 

Beautiful story, astonishingly written, unforgettable characters. 
UTTERLY DEVASTATING but so enjoyable.
