Wow, okay. Queen of Shadows was so, so good.
I have been enjoying this series very much up to this point, don't get me wrong, but in my opinion, this one takes it to a whole new level.

I won't drag this out, as there probably isn't much I can say that would be new at this point, but I will just let y'all know how this one made me feel; freaking psyched.
I am such trash for this series. I was legit fangirling for a week after I finished Queen of Shadows.
Sarah J. Maas is my Queen and I will read every single word she ever writes.

Seriously though, I felt that this developed the story so incredibly well. I loved the relationships and I don't mean that in the romantic sense.
For me, it was more the friendships, the loyalties that develop as these characters are basically pitted against the most evil forces in the universe; it was just a gorgeous thing.

Lysandra, my new love. Her story arc is just astounding.
To see her strength, which obviously has always been there, but to see it come out as she asserts herself and kicks some serious ass was absolutely satisfying.

I loved hearing her backstory, learning her motivations and discovering her secrets. I can't wait to see where her story goes in the next book.
And of course, Manon, my book-BFF, so fierce and such a powerful bringer of change. I worship her and pretty much every scene she's even remotely involved in gave me LIFE!

I am very excited to get to Empire of Storms but I am going to take some time before I start because I do not think I am emotionally ready to move on. There's still so much to process.
I am beyond happy that I gave in and read this series; probably one of the best book choices I have ever made. I highly, highly recommend this series to all the world!

I still need to pick up Empire of Storms! I keep putting it off because it is huge and frankly, intimidates me :) I have read any ACOTR yet. I do have them all though, so hope to some day. Enjoy!




It is really daunting, but worth every single page! You are making me want to reread the whole series now!
Have you read A Court of Thorns and Roses by Maas as well? I devoured that series too!

Hahaha! I love your enthusiasm! I haven't read ACOTAR yet but I have all of the books and plan to start it after I finish up with TOG.

HA! I get a little excited about books I love *covers eyes*
