this series has a CHOKEHOLD on me!!! 

I absolutely loved the characterization and introduction of THRONE OF GLASS, but let me tell you, the first book ran so CROWN OF MIDNIGHT could SOAR 🥹🫶🏼

I am a chaol stan through and through even if my lil baby has a hard time protecting everyone all at once (it’s a problem I know), and I cannot wait to see where he goes from here! 

the character development and plot line integration in this one was top tier 🤌🏼 they all had such beautiful and important roles to play in the overarching storyline. I was on edge the entire time!!

and of course, the multi POVs always help … 

ALSO CAN WE TALK ABOUT ✨ THAT ✨ REVEAL CLIFFHANGER!!! I had a feeling it was coming, but I love love love how it played out!

this series is so bingeable, and while I DID NOT appreciate all of the fade to black scenes 😒 - I enjoyed how the romance sections were backstory for the true fantasy game of thrones-esque plot. 

catch me reading the rest of the series all this month!!
