REVIEW - Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass #7) by Sarah J. Maas

The Book
Release Date: 23 October 2018

Years in the making, Sarah J. Maas’s #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series draws to an epic, unforgettable conclusion. Aelin Galathynius’s journey from slave to king’s assassin to the queen of a once-great kingdom reaches its heart-rending finale as war erupts across her world. . .

Aelin has risked everything to save her people―but at a tremendous cost. Locked within an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will as she endures months of torture. Aware that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, though her resolve begins to unravel with each passing day…

With Aelin captured, Aedion and Lysandra remain the last line of defense to protect Terrasen from utter destruction. Yet they soon realize that the many allies they’ve gathered to battle Erawan’s hordes might not be enough to save them. Scattered across the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian are forced to forge their own paths to meet their fates. Hanging in the balance is any hope of salvation―and a better world.

And across the sea, his companions unwavering beside him, Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen―before she is lost to him forever.

As the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight, if they are to have a chance at a future. Some bonds will grow even deeper, while others will be severed forever in the explosive final chapter of the Throne of Glass series.

My Review    5 STARS
An epic ending!

Oh my goodness.  This book both tore apart my heart and had me smiling at the end.  The last 30% certainly had me bawling countless times as many of our characters went through extreme pain as they battled for a better world, some losing more friends than others.

I completely fell apart for Manons loss.

There was more story building, so many of the characters lives twining together and relationships going from strength to strength as they gave everything in order to help Aelin rid the world of Erawan and Maeve.

A great battle that spans much of the book with many of the characters first apart until they all congregate at the end in Orynth in Terrasen as the all make a stand beside Aelin.  

This is certainly an ending for a series.  Lots of twists and turns, some that i did not see coming and all the emotional feels for days.  This series certainly sucked me in, enthralled me and spat me back out.  I’m very much still reeling.
