5 STARS
Her destiny awaits. But first, vengeance… Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past… She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her to regain her throne. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return. Celaena’s epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena’s story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world. What can I say? Where do I possibly begin? The heartache. The bravery. The evil plans. The courage. The backstabbing. The strength. The loathing. The friendships. The thrashing and slashing. Bonds forming. Killing occurs on a permanent basis. Love blossoms. Power grows stronger – good vs. evil. Shots of adrenaline as you turn the pages. Rattling your world as you delve deeper into this fantasy world…not sure if you’ll be able to swim back up for a breath of air. No, Sarah J Maas rocks the genre of YA fantasy. So much happened within this book. The plot becoming thicker and juicier and messier and more complex and evil. The amount of detail just keeps surprising me. There is no lack or rushing when it comes to every bit of detail. A perfect escapism as the vividness of the worlds immerses you deeper as if it were you roaming the streets. Observing the luxury of some, the poverty in areas, the blood and gore, but also the beauty here and there. Each and every character within this series, they truly make this series and ‘Awesome’ story…it’s like a drug. You keep coming back for more and you can’t stay away. Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, also known as Celaena Sardothien, is seriously starting to step into her role, reclaiming her power back as Queen. What could I possibly say about this girl. She’s a mean, butt-kicking Fae female. She knows what she wants. As powerful as she may be, she really does hurt, hurt for her people especially the one’s she loves. Just as you ponder upon what action should be taken next, Aelin has already completed the act, got home and jumped into bed! So many things occurred in this book. Enemies turn into allies and allies’ kind of become selfish. I absolutely lover her relationship with Rowan. Some heated scenes, fans will go crazy for. I thought it was excellent for her to have found a ‘friend’ who is stronger than her and can eyeball her down to such an extent where she actually completely surrenders. She has met her match for sure. Although, Rowan is a bit of a cliché being this immortal handsome Fae warrior with six packs and what-not. However, we ALL love Rowan! An added bonus for me…my hubby’s name is Rowan and packed with all kinds of hotness! Yep…he’s immortal too. 😉 Manon Blackbeak…what an amazing turn of events. Can’t go into too much detail…but this is now going to be even more interesting than anticipated for. I immediately picked up she is different. Where there is supposed to be no heart…she actually does have one. As soon as she chose Abraxos...it was evident, Manon Blackbeak is going to change the witchy world. Arobynn…what a psychopath! No…something worse…I don’t know. He is down right EVIL! I shoved every possible edible food into my mouth, holding onto my wobbly knees as I read the encounter with Arobynn and Celaena. But boy-oh-boy, what a spectacular twist! Sarah J Maas…you got me! It saddens me knowing the series is nearing the end. I’ve become so fond of all the people. I could read 10 more books in this series and afterwards I’ll watch the TV series…when is that happening by the way?? Sarah J Maas…Job Well Done!
