I cried reading this book. The story is great and i loved the characters. The POVs change but it’s great. Typical for a Sarah J. Maas book: the last 100 pages everything’s on fire.

Why did Sorscha have to die. What happened to Petrahs Wyvern is so sad. So many bad things happened but it was also funny omg. The end was so so hurtful to read. Ngl, Chaols POVs are kinda boring. I pray that Aedion meets Aelin. The moment between Maeve and Aelin was soo savage (with the citizens not being out of stone). And what happened to Dorian… it broke my heart so much…

One thing SJM knows how to do is write an insufferable character with one hell of a redemption. Celaena has been through a lot of pain and strife, but her being mean to Emry’s and Luca was pissing me off. Her getting on her knees and begging forgiveness was the only way for me to not be totally done with her.

Her relationship with Rowan was weird. They’re cousins and she was noticing his “muscled back.” When she was getting overheated at the spring festival and he gave her some air she “moaned with relief” like girl…what in the sweet home Alabama is going on??? I hope that’s where the weirdness stops with them two.

Chaol was trying to play both sides but luckily he chose right in the end. 

The king is a bastard and for him to do that to Dorian in the end and how he did Sorcha??? That was crazy. He needs to burn in hell.

Maeve was annoying and she lost Rowan so…yay I guess. And she knew to surround herself in water incase a descendant of Brannon came back but Aelin showed her just how useless that was.

When the Valg princes feasted on Celaena’s fear and then her family surrounded her saying, “Get up” I was literally crying. Such a beautiful moment. 

I hope Aedion is ok because THAT last scene was nuts. Arobynn better NOT give Celaena any problems when she ask for her necklace back…but he’s a monster so I know he will. 

Now Manon’s storyline…I won’t say which book and author [allegedly] stole directly from this bar for bar…but it was VERY similar to one of my favorite series and that was a little disheartening. This new series damn near went bar for bar down to the war games, wyvern, communicating with your wyvern, Imogen, Manon wanting the strongest one but then getting the weakest one(but not really weak), her motherly figure being a complete asshole…it was a bit much for me. The witches are really cut throat and I personally just wanted to get back to Celaena or Dorians storyline the entire time. It was a lot of POV jumping and that was annoying but…this is a long and well thought out series so I’m sure everything will tie together seamlessly. 

But…I will say that the Cochran witch made Manon open her eyes to the person that she was; so it’ll be fun to explore that in the next book. 

I’m excited to get through the SJM universe, still.

This is my favorite book so far. It’s so emotional and so many things are revealed, and it just breaks your heart. Manan is a favorite of mine and I love Aedion.

The emotional journey Celaena goes through in this book is so good. I feel like I was on a rollercoaster in the best way. The side characters feel like main characters as we dig deeper into their stories. I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.

I felt like the beginning of the book dragged a bit, but as always with sjm books the second half of the book was a whirlwind. I thought the progression of the story was interesting, and am eager to pick up the next book in the series.
