Kingdom of Ash - Sarah J Maas (a true masterpiece)

(Hi there! Before we start a quick note: I know it's super random that my first review of the blog is about a book that is the last in a series. Just so you know, I reread all the ToG-books back in December and am not planning on doing a review of it now as I've probably forgotten half of the contents already, because that's just how I roll. I read I love, I forget after 1 week. Hope you understand! Now, let's get to the review!)

I spent 12.2 hours reading this book. Intense, emotional, and happy. 

Intense because it truly was a wild ride to reread this series one book after the other in such a short time. When I started the series, only books nr 1 & 2 were released. Aelin's name was just a mere whisper that had no big scheme in the story yet and Celeana, our favorite assassin, was the main character. Every year I waited for another book to release which meant having a break in the meantime of the ToG-story. This, the big rereadathon, has been a thrill to relive the incredible characters; see their development, powers, and courage grow. Eternally, this will be one of my favorite worlds created.

Emotional because despite the tale of these heroes, it brought along a lot of heartache, sadness, and grief. The gorgeous characters that we lost in this world should not be forgotten because without them no big grande finale would have been there. Aelin and her entourage would not have been the characters that they ended up being at the conclusion of this series. 

And at last Happy. It was the story of a lifetime. Not only for these characters but for readers too. The world we've gotten to know and love ended in such a perfect way. And that is something no one can take away from us. 

Thank you, SJM, for everything you did with your words. Thank you for helping me see that everyone is a Fireheart and that everyone can face their fears. Thank you. 

In conclusion: This book is a 5/5⭐️'s for me. 

xoxo, peace out
