I enjoyed this book so much more than I thought it would originally. It was wonderful. I loved all the characters! Bryce is by far my favourite Maas female character so far. The world and the magic are all wonderful. I thought it was really fun to have a book based on the ancient Roman Empire with some other influences sprinkled in. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book!

Damn, this book had me sobbing so hard. I had to rehydrate after chapter 97.

In the beginning of the book I was so confused what was going on. The cursing was not my favorite, the dystopian setting I had trouble adjusting too and the constant sexualising of each other was bothersome.

But after some chapters I got into it, the setting, the story, the characters. This book was a chaotic rollercoaster. And I was here for the ride.

Of all the Sarah J Maas books this one had the most fast pace (I think) so far. Not as much spice. Which was fine of course. I don't think I will ever re-read this one but boy, it earned a place on my favorites shelve.

Through love, all is possible.
Light it up <3
