I needed a day for that to sink in. 

I was not in a million years expecting
Live, Manon. Live.

That was so hard.

Also,
the part of Aelin begging to take it off had me in an emotional mess. And the moment Dorian finally sees Chaol and they hug.


At first, I was annoyed that SJM had built up this big, dangerous and deadly battle. I felt that final boss battle was too easy. I guess it is YA and I adore all the characters, what they have been through and the family/court they have built. I'm happy they lived, they had their happy endings and there was peace for all.

I loved reading Throne of Glass series and I can't wait to read it again.
