This book is such a great piece. I loved seeing everything come together and all the callbacks. Lorcan and Elide are not my favorite ship, but I like both characters. Manon and Dorian are an interesting pairing, but I think that they go well together. I do not love the reveal of Aelin and Rowan being mates. I feel like that was cheap. Erawan is growing more powerful and dangerous. Without Aelin to hold him off, I am uncertain how Erawan is to be stopped. No one else has really stood a chance against him.

If you enjoyed this book, the next in the series is Town of Dawn by Sarah J. Maas. Other books like this one are: The Beauty of Darkness by Mary E. Pearson because of the deception and deep connections that are made, The Serpent and the Wings of Night by Carissa Broadbent because both are willing to do whatever it takes to keep those close to them safe, and Ember Queen by Laura Sebastian because both main characters are willing to risk it all.
