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.

Key element to sealing the portals to other worlds and preventing Erawan’s brother to enter this world. The mission is to get Erawan trapped past the gates just before shutting them once and for all.

You have sacrifices and death.

Huge sacrifices. Of lives, of power, of magic and beloved ones. All in the hope to have a better world. Some of these sacrifices shattered me. The artifices Sarah J Maas used to make this last installment unforgetable and believable, because war is ugly and has a cost, are uncompromising and unbearable.

Told from multiple point of views we follow Aelin’s unimaginable fate tortured for months with powerless Fenris as a witness.
Rowan, Elide, Gavriel and Lorcan are roaming the land to find her. Trying to locate Maeve is daunting. But if they find her they’ll find Aelin. Rowan was desperate to save his mate.
Dorian, Manon and the Thirteen are on a mission to rally the Cochran witches. Help gather an army to free Terrassen. Dorian has lost so much and the stakes are huge. He is plotting the impossible.
Aedion, Lysandra and other friends are defending Terrassen. Trying to make people believe Aelin is fighting among them. Trying to suffuse hope and strength to their soldiers and  commanders.
And Chaol, Nesryn, Yrene and the army of Antica are sailing to join the army and fight with the ruks and the cavalry.

All these sub plots grow and take shape. Captivating the reader and making him need to go on reading and reading. There is a need to know if, when and how these destinies will merge. If the big army Aelin wanted to raise will converge and merge in the hope of saving this world from demon Valgs.

I held my breath countless time. I hoped just to despair right after then hope again. When a victory was in sight it was to be squashed right away by a plot twist, another ordeal to face.
I raged and I cried. Often. For all the hurt. For the lives lost. For the biggest sacrifices and the cruelest plot twist Sarah J Maas concocted. I was enthralled. Enraptured in this story of legend. I had stars in my eyes and lived in another world. Filled with huge beasts, witches, warriors, cruel gods, demons … I was elsewhere.
