Great read. I could not put this down. The ending was NOT WHAT I EXPECTED!!!!

I spent the last several days forgoing my responsibilities, and sometimes sleep and food, to binge this series. I really enjoyed this second book although this is my first SJM series so I only knew the end referenced her other series once I read the reviews.

This book stands above all other books S. J. Maas has written so far! including “A Court of Silver Flames” in ACOTAR series! There are many elements/reasons that helps this book (n series) to surpass other ones! Elements n concepts like portrayals of a multiverse with parallel dimensions n worlds, high diversity of characters, ethnicities, n species! The writing voice is much more complex n creative! The power n magic in this series are portrayed in a universal n cumulative world where all beings n their powers are dependent on other beings n things! Here, you won’t face a handful of characters with almost total power/control over the whole world, independently! Here, kings and high level authorities fall short in their power n capabilities vs (so-called) lessers n ordinances!!

Amazing. Just read it.

I have avoided all fan theory so I could be truly immersed in the element of surprise. Boy it did not disappoint! Can’t wait to continue the journey!!!

What a great sequel!

Sarah J Mass. An untouchable author. Breathtakingly good book. I wish I could give it 10 stars

This series is one of the best I have ever read!! Amazing twists and turns you don’t see coming!! 25 out of 10!!!

Just like her ACOTAR series, this one ripped my heart from my chest and left me utterly destroyed, but ending it with an ACOTAR cross over 😳 I’ve never pre ordered a book so fast in my life. Sara J Maas is a literary genius and we do not deserve her beautiful mind.

I’m in awe yet again. Just read them all. Ugh my heart
