It’s hard to really find the words for how I’m feeling right now . .

Kingdom of Ash was perfection.

I spent the whole book in agony, waiting for something horrible to happen. It did in chapter 89. . I absolutely lost my shit. Tears running down my face, a (gentle) slamming of the book, a storming off, and a good cry. . . That is how chapter 89 rendered me. But then we arrived at that final line. That one perfect line that told me that I no longer had to worry about Erilea - because Erilea would be fine.

There were moments I was literally biting my fingernails in suspense. Moments when I had to cover my mouth as I read the words on the page. Moments when I held a hand clutched to my heart, as if that would stop it breaking.

God damn was the book written beautifully. God damn it was so, so wonderfully crafted.

All I really want to say is thank you to Sarah J Maas for bringing this story into the world.

My heart hurts to know that it is all over now. That it is officially the end.

“How do you pick up the threads of an old life? How do you go on... when in your heart you begin to understand... there is no going back? There are some things that time cannot mend... some hurts that go too deep... that have taken hold.”
