What a finale! I really enjoyed this wrap up. There was so much ground to cover, and I liked the way it ebbed and flowed with action. My only thing is that I wished some of our troubled couples had to work a little harder to resolve their issues.

For them to just come close to death and then be forgiven felt a little too easy. I at least wish they'd spoken a bit more about their issues afterwards so it would've felt fully resolved.

And then I found some of the battle scenes repetitive.

How many times can a group of people almost die and then just barely not!?

But I really appreciated the themes and plotlines all coming to fruition here. Just reading this book makes you realize how much work it must've been to plot it, let alone write it! I know these characters and this story will stay with me for a long time.

So... I don't know where I fall now having finished the series. There's a weird void, from this having been the last 3mo of my life, at the same time it suffers from what most endings suffer from in not living up to whatever expectations I had inadvertently setup in my head. Being aware of all that I'll say I still enjoyed it. I also kind of felt like the honeymoon phase with me and this series was coming to an end and I looked back and can see how many issues and plot holes there were. Did it stop me from enjoying the heck out of it though? Not really. Anyways the journey is at an end, and I enjoyed the ride. Is it going in my favorites? Not sure on that. I have some favorite moments and characters though. Lysandra is everything to me. But I seriously mostly read this series for a lot of the side characters if I'm honest.

I loved this series, but there are a few things that I didn't like about this book:

There are a lot of romances that felt forced

and, obviously, no one who had a romantic interest died in war

Gavriel death's felt unnecesary and I wanted to stop reading the book because of it... 

Otherwise, I never thought I would be so fond of the Thirteen and I cried when they sacrificed themselves (and therefore broke the curse).... "Live, Manon" </3

A great ending that could have been better if the Thirteen and Gavriel were still alive

Wow!!! What a conclusion to this series. I really loved how fast this book felt compared to the others, and I think the backstory was absolutely worth it to really feel the emotions of this book. 

I wish we would’ve gotten a little bit more of their future than we did…and I would’ve loved to have seen more of a resolve in Manon and Dorian’s relationship (I know she would outlive him but still!!). But overall I love how Aelin really finds her way through the trauma by the end and is able to even overtake Maeve’s vision and start to destroy her within it.
