Update: 9/11/15
I'm meeting Sarah on the 23rd of this month so I thought I'd draw her some fan-art since I've finished uni. My interpretations of Aelin, Chaol, Dorian and Rowan!!!!!

This book was EXTREMELY satisfying. Sarah left no stone unturned and just kept the action going on every page. This is definitely my favourite of the series, so far!

MAJOR SPOILERS: like legit the whole book is summarised down here so don't read if you...haven't read

I'm not in the right mindset to write a proper review ...more

Third read: November 2018

Second read: September 2016 <3

First read, September 2015: Oh, hell yes! It's like, just when I think Sarah J. Maas is at the top of her game, she writes QoS and makes me admire her even more. This book was everything I wanted it to be, and it will always be amongst my absolute favorites. Fucking amazing!

Before reading: That cover is freaking awesome. I love it! ...more

Wow! I don't even know how to express how amazing this book was. Never ever has a book made me feel sooo many things all at once but Sarah J Maas books do it Every. Single. Time. Without fail. I am in awe of Sarah's writing and story telling!

This is basically me after finishing a Sarah J Maas book:

Feb 21, 2015 💫 rated it it was amazing

This was epic! So intense and filled with many twists and shocking revelations. Finally seeing Arobynn in the main books was great, it was interesting to see how complex his personality is, and how he lives to manipulate everyone around him but I still feel that I needed to know why he was this person and what made him so.

Aelin was a bit much for me in the start of the book, but I think it makes sense because she had to become a Queen everyone can believe in, but it was such a relief to have ...more

"And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home."

~~Sarah J. Maas knows how to perfectly end the book and make the readers cry.~~ This book is a great continuation of the series. It contains answers to some questions and asks some new ones, includes expected moments and surprising twists. And, of course, there were some new characters.

Throughout the book I had neutral attitude towards Nesryn. I didn’t like her in particular but I didn’t hate her either. But if she was with Chaol, if she ...more

This was my favorite in the series. I liked this book when I read it but it's come to my attention that this series has a lot of issues and perpetuates lots of toxic ideas I don't support. I'm clearing my rating for all the books in the series and no longer supporting Sarah J Maas. ...more

This review has been hidden because it contains spoilers. To view it, click here. Ever since I finished Heir of Fire, I knew that QOF could potentially break my heart. I'm heartbroken, sad, and angry. I feel betrayed.

Heir of Fire was my least favorite book in the series because it was so slow. This book was fast paced but my love for the series has diminished.
Before the book released there were some spoilers that I came across and they made me scared for the characters I loved. When Aelin took off Chaol's ring, I knew there was a 50% chance they would not fix things but I s ...more

OK confession time; I couldn’t wait to start reading Queen of Shadows before writing my Heir of Fire review, so this is going to be a joint review of both books.

For those of you unaware, Heir of Fire and Queen of Shadows are the third and fourth books respectively in Sarah J. Maas’ Throne of Glass series. It is YA fantasy series with a kickass heroine and great worldbuilding. If you’ve not yet started it, I highly recommend checking it out.

I listened to both books within a fairly short space of ...more

I loved it!!! Didn't really care for the whole Aelin and Rowan romance Personally i thought it happened to quickly. I did love Dorian and Manon now that I want to see. Sarah J. Maas Out did herself again such a beautiful story loved it. But by the last 15 chapters i was kind of snapping my fingers like come one " get to the point already." I think my favorite characters may have been this book also who have grown in spectacular ways Manon, Kaltain, Elide, Lysandra, and Aedion. Loved every bit of ...more
