This book was like a slap to the face every time new lore was dropped — like STFU NO WAYYY

The Helen Keller part took me out lol

My eye is twitching because yet ANOTHER powerful being had their power dimmed/removed for the sake of an ending....but they could never make me hate my boy Kell

I'm in the wrong universe and now I'm having a crisis about it...anyways 10/10

IF I HAD A NICKEL FOR EVERY SERIES WHERE THE SECOND BOOK HAD A BALCONY KISS THAT WAS BRED FROM LONGING AND DESPARATION AND LOVE....id have 2 nickels which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice

Started off good and I like the idea of the ending but WAY too rushed. I wanted a little more insanity sprinkled in and a more fleshed out ending. :/

Reading this felt like watching a plane crash

Say ONE bad thing about my boy Kell and I'll stab you in the eye

P.s. I'd also murder for that jacket

I think I've gone through every possible emotion reading this book and I'm going to proceed to mourn for the next 10-20 business days. But before I go, let me say that I bend the knee only, for my queen,

Adarlan's Assassin

The King's Champion

Witch Slayer

Queen of Terrasen

Heir of Fire

Heir of Ash

Heir of Terrasen

Heir of Brannon

Heir of Mala Fire-Bringer

Fireheart

Fire-breathing bitch-queen

Aelin of the Wildfire

Aelin Fire-Bringer

Aelin Light-Bringer

Aelin World-Walker

The Queen Who Was Promised

The Fae Queen of the West

THE ONE AND ONLY AELIN ASHRYVER GALATHYNIUS!!!

p.s. i will die for the court of my dreams any day

I won...but at what cost...literally you could stab me in the stomach and it would hurt less. I need a hug. I WAS READING ON BORROWED TIME FR

To all the haters...how does it feel knowing that Chaol FUCKSSSSSSSSS — THATS MY BOI FR

ITS ON SIGHT CORYO

but fr I haven't read a book this good and nuanced in a while. Collins you are the GOAT

I wholeheartedly believe that SJM sacrificed her first born child to write this book — I have never experienced that type of atmosphere like I did when I read those last 100 pages. I'm still in shock.

SJM is the queen of unexpected whiplash and I'd have it no other way!!!!!

Y'all ever been obliterated by a book?????

I'll kneel before no man buT ILL KNEEL BEFORE YOU MY QUEEN. MY LIEGE. MY CHAMPION CELAENA.

also hehehehehehehe Dorian is so bae

and CHAOL MY ANGEL BABYGIRL A THOUSAND TIMES I LOVE YOU

2 words: dumpster fire.


Literally so disappointing because book one was AMAZING and this one was literally so bad and messy and all over the place that my 1 book every 3 days streak got SLAMMED into a brick wall. I was DRAGGING myself along the gravel pavement just to finish this book. I'm just glad that I didn't jump the gun and buy the third one — wiki here I come

Oceans 11 x Immortals x Mickeys house of villains x League of extraordinary gentlemen x Good omens x The sandman = this chef kiss of a book

If Christopher Nolan could write books this would be it — absolutely insane. Insanely good.

Death fucks us all... WELL IM THE ‘US' CAUSE THIS BOOK GOT ME FUCKED UP. I NEED THE THIRD NOW. I CRAWLED OUT OF HELL ALL BLOODY BUT IM READY TO GO BACK. Leigh the glow stick caught me SO OFF GAURD but I'd still go to war for you babe

This was exactly what I wanted from a dark academia fantasy book — the world building in the beginning was a bit slow but once it clicks the plot thickens and next thing you know you've devoured the book and immediately ordered the next one

Also Galaxy Stern is such a badass

p.s. not me having a crush on a demon, a detective, AND a ghost

I wanted to like this book but for these reasons I could not:
- lowkey a rip off of TSITP — like the set up is all there
- the characters were all kind of bland, they needed more depth and I just felt no attachment to any of them
- the plot twist was so basic and everyone saw it coming so it wasn't actually a plot twist
- employed my least favorite trope: mis communication...BUT didn't even use it correctly. If you are gonna use it, make me want to bash my head into a wall like I was kinda disappointed that all my reactions were so mild
- half the characters were so irrelevant why include them

WHERE IS MY WIFE troupe goes hard

enemies to LOVERS to enemies who love each other but are so bad at communication

Very reminiscent of the Dead Poets Society: it's all fun and games in the beginning and then BOOM ✨depression✨

Obviously on the technical aspect it's a 4 but on the entertainment level it's a 2 1/2 — BUTTT it was so worth it for this quote: “Pause you who read this, and think for a moment of the long chain of iron or gold, of thorns or flowers, that would never have bound you, but for the formation of the first link on one memorable day.”
