Review<\/b><\/h4>\n

5 sensational stars!<\/b><\/p>\n

Whoa, what a ride! Another incredible read from Sarah J. Maas, and an absolutely amazing addition to the Throne of Glass<\/i> series. Anything I say will be a spoiler for previous books in the series, and you just need to dive in and experience this story so I\u2019m not going to say a lot, but just…. wow.<\/p>\n

Aelin Ashryver Galathynius is quickly becoming one of my all-time favourite heroines. The \u201cfire-breathing bitch queen\u201d<\/i> is nothing short of spectacular in this book as she fights for the people she loves, plots her long-awaited vengeance, and claims her rightful place in her world.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The side characters that I have grown to love are all a pivotal part of this book. Chaol, Dorian, Rowan, Aedion and even Manon all have their own journeys that are just as engrossing as Aelin\u2019s, and I loved the addition of Lysandra. Each of their stories intertwines with the others to create a wonderfully multifaceted story. And set against a fantastical world of magic, politics and danger that is both complex and fascinating, this is an incredible read! And yes! There\u2019s even some romance.<\/p>\n

\u201cTell me that we\u2019ll get through tomorrow. Tell me that we\u2019ll survive the war. Tell me\u2014\u201d She swallowed hard. \u201cTell me that even if I lead us all to ruin, we\u2019ll burn in hell together.\u201d
\n\u201cWe\u2019re not going to hell, Aelin,\u201d he said. \u201cBut wherever we go, we\u2019ll go together.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

There is so much that happens in this book. A lot of turning points, surprises, and significant character and relationship development, and that ending! I think I actually stopped breathing. Everything is turned on its head once again, with the storyline taking a huge shift. My heart was pounding through most of this book \u2013 with excitement, anticipation, happiness and fear \u2013 and I felt everything<\/i>. These books have everything<\/i>, and though it ends in a good place I cannot WAIT to see where it\u2019s all going to go from here!<\/p>\n

She looked at them, at the three males who meant everything\u2014more than everything. Then she smiled with every last shred of courage, of desperation, of hope for the glimmer of that glorious future. \u201cLet\u2019s go rattle the stars.\u201d <\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

I absolutely adored it. 5 huge stars.<\/p>\n
