I don’t think the stakes felt heavy enough. The book, which should feel like a fast paced race to the end of the world, feels like a very slow slough. Subplots that didn’t really need to have so much put into them. Scenes that seemed to not do much to push the narrative forward. There were plenty of places where the story might have been trimmed down. Weighing in at almost one thousand pages this is a very big tome, and I don’t think it needed to be this size. The sheer size of the finale was daunting and I ending up not getting to it until a while after it was published and the hype had already died down. I started this series around the same time I first started book blogging so finishing it was a very long time coming. 'Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom…' Maas's New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series draws to an explosive conclusion as Aelin fights to save herself―and the promise of a better world. As destinies weave together at last, all must fight if Erilea is to have any hope of salvation. Some bonds will grow even deeper, while others will be severed forever.

With Aelin captured, friends and allies are scattered to different fates. The knowledge that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, but her resolve is unraveling with each passing day… Locked within an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures months of torture.
