I love this series. I feel like the end of the plot was a bit rushed and the characters got stagnant towards the end, but that’s not the most terrible thing! It was very intense and enjoyable!

Throne of Glass is, and will forever be, Sarah J. Maas's best series. This was complete with so much joy, character development, genuine loss, belief that the odds will remain stacked against them, everything. There were multiple parts where I started to tear up like the last scene with the Thirteen, but ESPECIALLY

finding out that Erawan took the King of Ardalan's name, and finding out that he remembered it only once, and it was when he held Dorian for the first time. TEARS. I love that SJM had the King make a reappearance, and Dorian finally got some sort of closure with him. It was really sincere to see him as the father he might have been.

 

I also love that Aelin got to be happy in the end, I think that's all she deserved after everything. SJM excels at writing emotional arcs, and I really enjoy how she didn't shy away from Aelin's deep, deep depression after her torture with Maeve. It tied in so well and harkened back to Heir of Fire in the best way possible. 

ANYWAYS, I could talk about this baby for ages, just please read it. I'm so sad it's over. But also

Rhysand cameo???? I knew about the multiverse theory but like,,, it feels REAL and I'm shook

Sarah J. Maas's "Kingdom of Ash" was a thrilling conclusion to her "Throne of Glass" series. From the very first page, I was drawn into a world of magic and falling in love with the complex characters that are both relatable and larger than life. In this final book, she brings all of her beloved characters together for a final battle against the forces of evil.

Maas keeps the tension high, with unexpected twists and turns that kept me on the edge of my seat.There were moments of heartbreak and despair, as well as moments of triumph and hope. Through it all, Maas never lost sight of the emotional core of her story. Each character was given their moment to shine, and the relationships between them are explored in satisfying detail.

Overall, "Kingdom of Ash" is a fantastic conclusion to the series. The world and characters that will be something that I think of often, it is utterly unforgettable. I highly recommended this series for anyone who loves epic fantasy, strong female characters, and a thrilling, action-packed story.
