What a way to wrap up this series. Even though this is almost 1000 pages, I still feel like l some characters didn’t get the storyline and wrap up that they deserved.

The battle between Maeve and aelin is what is knocking this from a 5 star for me, because it’s “it was all an illusion” was kind of convoluted imo. I understand why she wrote it like that bc of Maeve’s valg powers, but still I don’t love it.

also enjoyed some of the crossovers between acotar and cc (like the glow worms!)

I have never felt such a volley of emotions. I loved this book so much. I'm sad to let it go, but I know it will live in my heart forever.

I am stunned and amazed at how beautifully this epic story ended. I have no words.

My only tiny complaint

is the deus ex machina at the end with the Wolf Tribe. Just the tiniedt bit more information, like proof of their existence, would have made the victory feel earned.

I absolutely love this series.

This was a great conclusion to a wonderfully epic series. My only complaint is the battle scenes started drag a bit towards the end.

When I first read this series, I stopped at the book before this one. I don’t remember why. When I recently this year (2023) reread all of them, this one was a bit heartbreaking. The pain & torture that the main character & her husband go through is tremendous. But I still love the series. I know always positive rainbows & sunshine isn’t realistic, & this definitely reiterated that. But it also reiterated that love can conquer all in some sense. That you do not give up on your love. If you enjoy fantasy & drama, & some nasty bad guys, this series is for you. 😊

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!
