I loved it! Sarah J. Mass is an incredibly talented writer. Her characters are flawless, her story smooth and wonderful. Lobg live the Queen of Terrasen, Long live the King of Adarlan. Once again, amazing story, amazing love, amazing ending! ( )

This was incredible. I think this is my favourite in the series so far. It was so much better than I expected. it actually had me in tears MULTIPLE times!! All of the characters, even the new ones didn't feel flat and progressed quite a bit. I'm really happy with this book and I'm already anticipating the next one! ( )

This book was so action packed but still had it's fun and sweet moments, exactly what you expect from a Throne Of Glass novel.

Excellent! ( )

If book 3 was a small stream sneaking through the dam of getting to the heart of the real story, book 4 bursts that dam. Instead of going into all of the various plot twists, character reveals, relationship developments, and other mind blowing stuff going on in this book (I trust you can find a full synopsis online or just read the book, there are WAY too many to summarize here), I'll share a few favorite quotes & moments.

Aelin (going to save Aedion): "She was the heir of fire. She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save for the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph."

Elide (to Manon / herself): "My blood runs blue." "Good choice, witchling" ...'She had likely just made the biggest mistake of her life, but... it was strange. Strange, that feeling of belonging.'

Lysandra (about to kill Arobynn): "For Wesley. For Sam. For Aelin. And for herself. For the child she'd been, for the seventeen-year-old on her Bidding night, for the woman she'd become, her heart in shreds, her invisible wound still bleeding."

Aelin: "You make me want to live Rowan, Not survive; not exist. Live."

Aelin to Lyssandra: "There is no one else I'd want guarding my back. If my people cannot see the worth of a woman who sold herself into slavery for the sake of a child, who defended my court with no thought for her own life, then they are not my people. And they can burn in hell." ( )
