Here we go; after spending a month doing the tandem read, we‘re at the end of the road for Throne of Glass. So far I think I‘m loving this more than ACOTAR, but I‘m not sure; I‘m a sucker for the characters in these books and I want them all to have a happy ending 🥲
Let's see what finer points I've forgotten as I finish my re-read of the series.
I have no words, just so many tears. 8 books, 2 months later; I don‘t know what to do with my book life. I care for these characters so much. I think I agree saying I prefer Aelin over Feyre. Aelin is so human, with her faults and need for dramatics. She would do anything to protect those she loves. And she loves a lot.
“Live Manon, live.” 😭 “Take it off.” 🥺
I made it to the last book! I'm enjoying this series very much. Glad I changed my plans for the month. Let's see how this story finishes.
It's not the same size (ToD is the same way) & it is driving me nuts. My sister gifted me her paperbacks because she wanted all hardcover & let me tell you trying to complete the set for a reasonable price is near impossible so I opted for the international edition ( because then it semi matches) but may be regretting my choice 😩

My emotions have been through the wringer but I have made it to the otherside.
Probably one of my favorite things about the holiday season...reading by the glow of the Christmas lights 😍🎄📖
At last we have arrived at the final book...I have a feeling it's gonna be a doozy. 🤔😬
The last book in this series, The Glass Throne, is a monster of a book. I enjoyed it thoroughly, but I like war strategy. Those who find that tedious might struggle with the book. The characters have been with me all summer through eight books, and I was in tears at the close of this series. Well done, Maas.
A fantastic, satisfying conclusion and one of my favourite books in the series. Maas just leaves me in awe with her worlds and how much I love her characters.

I have already cried multiple times reading this book. Sarah J. Moss is an absolutely amazing author. This series is definitely one of my favorites that I've read. I just love each relationship in all of the groups.
This book made me cry so hard! I‘m so happy and giddy with how the series has come to a close but I‘m so sad it‘s over. I‘ve been with this series for just under a year now (I know) and I‘ve grown the love and relate to each and every character. They‘ve been through so much with me and I with them and I‘m sad to see it go.
Thank you so much Sarah for writing yet again another phenomenal series
I enjoyed this finale to a brilliant series. Sometimes it went on a bit and some of the themes were repetitious, perhaps because I‘ve read the ‘Court Of…‘ series (which I prefer, with some caveats). I wished Aelin would stop smirking! Quite how Dorian got hold of Damaris at one point distracted me. Oddly this wasn‘t my favourite of the series, but it was great to have everything come together. SJM‘s imagination + story arc over 7 books phenomenal.
Unpopular opinion
There were too many POVs and characters and there wasn't any kind of recap in the beginning. I hated the beginning for that reason, it was hard to get into this book.
This was plain boring and felt long because almost nothing happened. I think I have been spoiled by better fantasy and in this book battles were underwhelming.
Repetitive and wordy.

I mean...based on my screen name, it wasn't going to be anything else. Lol I want more books in this world, maybe based on the offspring of Aelin and Rowan as well as the children from the other paired couples in this series. A new crew.
Also based on the events of the end of Crescent City 2 (not saying more), I'm hoping for certain other things. Being as vague as possible.

1) I did have a few series' that hit me emotionally like that, not necessarily a specific book: The Eragon series had some moments for me, Auroras End, certain moments in the Throne of Glass series.
2) Fantasy (then Sci Fi, near tie)
3) Very hard to choose just one but: Kingdom of Ash

I liked this series over all, this was a big book and does explain all the characters and does finish nicely, yet I found it wordy at times.
A day late for #wondrouswednesday
Thanks for the tag @Eggs
1 just started tagged book so 2⭐️
2. Wish you Were Here by Jodi Picoult 2022 favorite so far
3. I am grateful for everything and everyone in my life with everything going on in the world I feel so fortunate for my family and That I can hug my grandchildren
An absolutely phenomenal series, and such a well written ending. Though the start was a bit slow, this emotional rollercoaster was such an amazing ending to the Throne of Glass series. Manon is still my favourite. I loved the plot and how things ended, the final battle wasn't just a fight but a full on war. I loved this series and I'm so sad I've now finished all of SJM's current books, I absolutely cannot express my love for her writing.
Great job, Liz!

Holy cow! The conclusion of the series has left me with a book hangover! The emotional rollarcoaster that still has me in a chokehold even though it's over. This was both heartbreaking and beautiful at the same time with a well deserved ending. You can barely catch your breath as you root for your favorite characters and hope they will be spared. 5/5!!
Bk12 of February & Bk2 of #20in4 #readathon is done! At almost 1,000 pages, the 7th & final TOG book is packed full of action, characters & magic. Bringing Aelin & all her allies into a last cataclysmic battle in Terrasen with a few favourites not surviving😢, it‘s a worthy end to the series. #BookspinBingo #SeriesRead2022 #ChunksterChallenge #LitsyAtoZ2022 #PennyPerPage #KickTheSlump #Pageathon #FinishingTheSeries
The grand finale! Excited to finish off the series and find out what our girl Aelin has in stock for us!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️💫This book is an emotional roller coaster, and at over 980 pages, it has a lot of opportunities for you to be to be stressed, sad, surprised, excited, etc.
Maas does an incredible job wrapping up so many story lines. There‘s *a lot* of fighting & feeling like all is lost, which gets a bit wearing. But overall it‘s a wonderful ending to a great series.

“Asterin smiled wider, kissed Manon‘s brow, and whispered again, “live.” “
Such a bittersweet thing to finish a series you love. The Throne of Glass series has easily become one of my favorites and I‘m sad it‘s come to an end after 2 months. I absolutely loved these books! This one especially had me crying tears of sadness and joy. HIGHLY recommend #throneofglass #sjm #tog
Book #28: Seven weeks later and I can‘t believe I‘m done with this series. It took me a while to get through this last one because I didn‘t feel as much of a sense of urgency to finish it. Not sure if it‘s because I didn‘t want it to end or it felt like this book was dragging things out a bit. I just have mixed emotions about this final book. Still not over the Thirteen.
Ugh, my heart. I love this whole universe so much, and this was such a good wrap-up, minus, you know, all the death. Also, this was my 100th book of the year! #yafantasy
With this final book I confirm my love and madness for it, I adore the whole saga, and will definitely be my favorite forever.
One of the most fantastic conclusions! I am just so so happy with this book. I cried, I screamed, I raged, and I smiled, this finale had everything I could‘ve asked for. Seeing Aelin‘s story finally come to a close is definitely the highlight of my year. I just loved the friendships, the loyalty, the BATTLES, and most importantly, the twists. So many unexpected turns, so many pieces just perfectly fitting together.(continues in comments)
Finishing off the series.
I am posting one book per day from my to-be-read collection. No description and providing no reason for wanting to read it, I just do. Some will be old, some will be new - don‘t judge me I have a lot of books.
Join the fun if you want. This is day 74.

I don‘t know why I would do this to myself again 😭
After a little over a week of binge-reading this series, I am finally upon this behemoth of a book!
I can't believe this series is over. I have loved the characters so much and the storyline has been incredible it's so sad to see it end. I hope everyone has the. Chance to read this series it's well worth it. Especially if you enjoy reading about strong female characters
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ — A powerful conclusion to a near-perfect series! It was full of twists and turns and very character had a fitting end to their journey. I‘ll miss this cast of characters, but all good things must come to an end...
Also today (and yes my tree is still up 😂) my best friend and I exchanged late Christmas gifts - and she got me the mini books 😍 Will I ever read them? Probably not. Will I display them on a shelf and show everyone who walks into my house (eventually) how cute they are? 100%.
I am so sad that I have finally finished this series. What an amazing ride this was. I love everything by Sarah J. Maas and truly feel gutted when they end. Aelin and Manon were some of my favorite female characters out of all of her series. Highly recommend anything by this author.
