Being locked in an iron coffin and tortured for 11 months is not something anyone could ever wish to experience. For Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen, it is her reality. With knowing what giving into Maeve would do to her friends and world, Aelin will not yield. As her mate and friends search for her, she has to withstand the gruesome techniques by Maeve’s second in command and sadist, Carin. When Aelin is finally free, she will stop at nothing to bring Maeve and Erawan, the Valg king, crumbling to the ground like ash. With her fiery power on a tight leash, she digs up more and more to prepare for battle. But will Aelin have any left, or will the lock take everything she has, including her life?
This final book in the series is an emotional roller coaster. With the story written from the point of view of every character, you get to see how each one is fairing throughout the novel. I can’t express in words how much I love this book! It is the best ending to a book series I have ever read in my life! The amount of times my emotions were all over the place is too many to count, and I am so proud of Sarah J. Maas for creating such beautiful characters to which so many people can relate. This book was amazing! More than amazing, it was earth-shattering, and I am so happy she shared this story with us. For anyone who loved the series as much as I did, prepare yourself because this book is the best one yet!
