I've just finished it. Words cannot describe how incredible this book is, I have stumbled upon a seam of pure literary gold. Thank you, Sarah J. Maas - you have created something incredible for us all. If you haven't read this book, your ability to read is pointless, and wasted on reading this review, as is your time if you haven't read this book yet, so stop reading this and read Queen of Shadows. Pure delight, I want to read it again and again afresh just to experience the excitement. 100%🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟. AA

How Does She (SJM) Do It? These Books Just Keep Getting Better & Better! Usually there's at least 1 book which isn't quite up to the same standard as the rest in a series, but I swear I love each book more & more. I think this one is my favourite by far for so many reasons. The characters feel like old friends I've had for years & years & with each book you not only have characters developing but their relationships deepening too. We're growing with Celaena / Aelin, Dorian, Chaol, Rowan, Lysandra, Rowan, Aedion, Nesryn, Manon, Abraxos & The Thirteen & as they develop & grow so does our love of these incredible complex characters. What I truly love about the way these characters are written is : They are real! Just like you & me, they have flaws, they make mistakes, sometimes pushing the line / boundary, they fight for love, freedom & honor, no matter the cost. They go so far as to save a rival or enemy.
