Wow! What an ending.

I thoroughly enjoyed the Throne of Glass series, though I had some issues with Kingdom of Ash. I'll try to list them without spoiling anything, but here's a warning just in case. POSSIBLE SPOILERS AHEAD.

I'd say 90% of this book was phenomenal, but once you get to the last huge battle, things started to fall apart a little bit. For me anyway. There's more than a few moments where it feels like the author wrote herself into a corner and then BAM! Some new thing that was only mentioned once briefly is brought back in to save the day. If that only happened once, I'd forgive it, but I'm pretty sure it happens at least THREE TIMES, if not more.

Oh well. I still really enjoyed the overall story, and I teared up/cried more than few times in this book. If you've enjoyed the previous novels, you'll probably cry a little bit, too.

Rowan/Aelin forever.
