Several scenes of animal cruelty in detail towards

wyverns

, which are semi-domesticated and seem to have unique personalities. Related animal deaths, plus other wild animals, but those are mostly from hunting. Nothing bad happens to the dog.

5 stars of course, always and always.. It's truly wonderful, I really started to love Celaena in this book. Her character development is truly amazing, the plot so tense! SJM is truly a genius.

The last 30% or so of the book was really good. the first 50% were mind numbingly boring. A lot of it should have been edited out. Most of the book felt like a filler episode.

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…

Amazing!! I devoured this book and I can’t wait for the next one. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed following every perspective and am so excited to see where these characters go from here.
