Isn't this poster SO BEAUTIFUL??? I can stare at it forever!!!!! I have the UK paperback edition that matches the previous books I own but I wish I had that poster!!! Charlie Bowater is an amazing artist!
So... finally... the ending battle... all the angst...
It was so cool to meet Erawan from so close... at last! I was terrified!!!!
Also, how amazing was to unite Chaol with the rest again! And when every character got to meet with the others again... oh these were some of my favorite scenes!!!! I loved how we followed each group and how those groups changed and entwined... Sarah J. Maas is my Queen!
And the world, we travel everywhere in this book which is so cool too!!!!
This book is amazing and if you are here and you have read the previous books probably you have already read this one too! I will not talk spoilers after Tower of Dawn just in case though!
Aelin's story was AMAZING! And Manon's... and Dorian grows so much in this book I can't even describe! And Chaol and Yrene... Elide and Lorcan were my two cute characters that I LOVE so much! Rowan holds my heart! In the same place with Chaol... OMG! I never expected to LOVE ROWAN AS MUCH AS I LOVE CHAOL!!!! And we got to know a lot more about Fenrys too! And Aedion and Lysandra went through Hell in this book! The whole cast of characters is out of this world and it is not at all difficult to get to know them and read from their points of view as each one of them has a distinct personality and background story and purpose.
This book made me laugh but also made me cry! So many feelings, such a roller-coaster to read it but I was so surprised by the author's skills in this one! It is a masterpiece in my point of view!!! It will always have a piece of my heart and I will for sure re-read this series in the future!!! I can't believe there are no more books left....!
Of course I rated this book with 5 stars!
Some of the non-spoiler quotes I loved:

“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom …”
Blood and sand and crashing waves.
She was Aelin Whitethorn Ashryver Galathynius, and she was Queen of Terrasen.
"And you plan to join us in this war?"
"I'm certainly not going there to enjoy the weather."
"I'm certainly not going there to enjoy the weather."
"I meant every promise I made to you on that beach in Skull's Bay."
"The sword of Orynth is only a piece of metal and bone. It's what the sword inspires in the bearer that matters. The true heart of Terrasen."
Death had been her curse and her gift and her friend for these long, long years. She was happy to greet it again under the golden morning sun.
"The it will be the scar I treasure the most."
"From now until the Darkness claims us."
"All of us who fight here today do so with someone standing invisible behind us."
“Passed over one of those mountains, where a winged male stood beside a heavily pregnant female, gazing at those very stars. Fae.”
"Let's make this fight worthy of a song."
"We'll pretend my last words to you were something worthy of a song."
