I waited a LONG time to write this review. The emotional pain that the characters AND ME experienced— made it difficult to think about the book critically. I tore through this book and it’s almost 1,000 pages. Aelin is who we live for and kept reading on for is experiencing so much pain. But I’ve come to love so many of the characters— I still feel like there’s so much story to be told. This is hands down the best read of my year so far. I wish I could read it for the first time again. There hasn’t been another experience like it— where the building and building and building finally pays off over and over and over. At least for me so far, and I’ve been an avid reader all my life.
