He's one of my fave characters, and I think he is perfect. Rowan: I needed more Rowan for this novel to be 5/5 stars. Why have I not either just become the long-lost queen and found my true love, OR been captured by the Spring Court and will soon find my true love THAT way? I'm very disappointed. Fun fact #2: I am the same age as Aelin? SJM, I need some answers. I already feel the need to reread these books over and over. Thank you to this awe-inspiring character. Fun fact! Every time I read a ToG novel, it makes me want to exercise, be fearless, and be confrontational. Aelin truly grows in this novel, and it was a joy to see her story. Just like when she didn't want to (view spoiler) At least, not like she used to, back in her Dark Days. But I think this truly showed her maturing. People got mad over (view spoiler) thereby breaking her promise. I loved that she still had surprises, even at the very end. After hating her throughout the novels off-and on, it was nice to be fully behind my homegirl for this finale. So take what you will from my urinate -poor comparison. HOWEVER, Aelin was 10000% more involved in the war than Feyre ever was in her own.

I think because there were more life-or-death instances occurring during the battles of ACOWAR. Overall, I'd like to note that I believe ACOWAR is a stronger finale. Maas My rating: 4 of 5 stars This book has all spoilers tagged, so you won't be spoiled unless you want to! MY EXPERIENCE WITH THE BOOK: It took me a week to fly by the finale. Worth the Wait and Length- FYI Dymocks, this is Book 7 not 6! :) Maas's #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series Years in the making, Kingdom of Ash is the unforgettable conclusion to Sarah J. Some bonds will deepen and others be severed forever, but as the threads of fate weave together at last, all must fight if they are to find salvation – and a better world. And across the sea Rowan hunts to find his captured wife and queen – before she is lost to him. Scattered throughout the continent and racing against time, Chaol, Manon, and Dorian must forge their own paths to meet their destinies.

But even the many allies they've gathered to battle Erawan's hordes might not be enough to save the kingdom. With Aelin imprisoned, Aedion and Lysandra are the last line of defence keeping Terrasen from utter destruction.

The knowledge that yielding to Maeve will doom those she loves keeps her from breaking, but her resolve is unravelling with each passing day… Locked in an iron coffin by the Queen of the Fae, Aelin must draw upon her fiery will to endure the months of torture inflicted upon her. She has risked everything to save her people – but at a tremendous cost. Aelin Galathynius's journey from slave to assassin to queen reaches its heart-rending finale as war erupts across her world …
