As much as I love this series as a total, I was a little disappointed. I think, it could've benefitted of being shorter, without some of the subplots. Personally, I haven't liked Tharion's POVs since book 2 already, and seeing as he has been getting quite a bit of screen time in this one together with Ithan just wasn't for me. I'm still curious as to how this series will continue though.

Sarah J. Maas should stick to regular fantasy...not modern fantasy. No payoff for slagging through a bagillion pages.
