If it had made me cry it would be a 5/5. Maas is a phenomenal writer who draws you into a world so unlike our own. Rumors of magic, love and loss, and Bonds to be Found, Broken, and Created take the lead in the themes through this book. 

We still love all of the characters from previous books, but the new characters we meet find their way into our hearts too. 

Maas lights a small candle flame of hope in our hearts when all feels like despair. 

We are rooting for Aelin, to whatever end. 🖤🙌🏻

I always like the point where a YA series turns from adventures to a desperate fight for freedom, and this book is no exception.

Quite the tragic turn of events at the end, but they set up for some potentially good ways out.

The first half is a bit frustrating as the focus is placed on rebuilding and crumbling over and over again for the main character, but it finds its direction very well for the second half.

Almost perfect. I just felt like some of the POV’s just made it drag horribly. But overall my favorite book in the series by far

I felt like the beginning of the book dragged a bit, but as always with sjm books the second half of the book was a whirlwind. I thought the progression of the story was interesting, and am eager to pick up the next book in the series.
