hands down my favorite book of the series. this book was fantastic, full of action and with a big set of characters all somehow connected to each other. 

Spoiler

the whole second part of this book was just… shocking. Aelin burning 500 iliken, Elide Fenrys Gaveiel and Manon (+ the thirteen) allying with Aelin, all the other allies Aelin summoned and that all showed up, the many reveals about what’s has to happen in this war and how it has to happen just leave me with so many questions i cannot wait to have the answer to.

 
Kingdom of Ash is gonna be real epic.

This book was so crazy. I read this one and Tower of Dawn in tandem, and the only reason why I think this book isn’t five stars for me is because of the tandem read? I don’t know reading both of them slowed me down and kind of confused me. This book was still fabulous though. The beginning was definitely a little slow, but the end was mind blowing. Another thing I loved about this book was that it really tied everything together? It was just crazy to see how all the loose ends and different povs throughout the series kind of came together in this book.
