Reading this series has been everything - I honestly can’t believe it’s now over. It feels like I’ve been broken apart and put back together again. I’m going to miss the characters so much, this is definitely the peak of Sarah J Maas’ career so far.

This book started off well and has a great idea as the basis of the book. However, this thought experiment base for a novel wasn't gripping past the first few chapters, and I began to lose interest pretty quickly. I've read reviews that say the translation might be a problem, as Bulgarian speakers have deemed the translation more boring than the original.
