YESS I FOUND ANOTHER ARMY SISTER WHO LIKES THRONE OF GLASS

[@strxwbxrry.x5346]

I’m still so upset that Nox and Aelin never got their reunion. And that she never got to really meet Vaughan.

[@zuzanalukyova6513]

Ikr? I was waiting for that since he first appeared in this book and then we're left hanging? Why??

[@strxwbxrry.x5346]

Zuzana Lukyová Same. But I’ve since heard that the book was like 1000+ pages and her publisher made her cut it shorter because the book bindings wouldn’t hold, so maybe it was a deleted scene. It still sucks that we didn’t get it.

[@morganmccann7743]

I know the whole time I'm just sitting there reading like "where tf is Vaughan?" I also really hope that in the deleted chapter wasn't the elorcan wedding because I would give so much to see that.

[@strxwbxrry.x5346]

Morgan McCann Same!! I hope we get to see the deleted scenes sometime like we did with the HoF, QoS, ToD, and ACOMAF scenes.

[@shisteryeontan6]

To me Aelin not meeting Nox again was a huge plot hole.

[@camillarenaereyes5168]

The Thirteen's death just broke my heart. I was expecting deaths to happen because it's war. But all of the 13??? I just bawled my eyes out 😭😭

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Camilla Renae Reyes ugh I know 😭 who is manon without SQUAD

[@zuzanalukyova6513]

I cried so hard at that chapter. Poor Manon, she was left alone 😟 I miss Asterin 😭

[@craigarrington424]

OMG I was up till like 2 in the morning and I fucking cryed my heart out I can't even

[@lameessaud2869]

same. like why? poor Manon left alone and i never felt she was the same by the end like you can see she is sooo broken inside, but i think a piece of her was restored a little bit when she met Dorien

[@chattymermaid1755]

I cried tears of blood when they died ! And GOD poor Manon

[@jennakochanski]

The true hero of the Throne of Glass series was Fleetfoot. That dog lived through EVERYTHING. Seriously though this has been one of my favorite book series of all time and I'm going to dearly miss it. Shoutout to the Thirteen though, because I balled my eyes out when they died. (don't even get me started on the OG3 farewell...) May the squad live on forever. Lord Lorcan Lochan.

[@morganargo4854]

The fact that Aelin didn't get to see Nox..... never will get over it tbh

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Same same

[@Emily-ej6ym]

It's sad how no one remembers Mort.

[@katelyndoden9288]

I really wanted to have Aelin see Sam's ghost and smile when she sat on the throne

[@melc5280]

Katelyn Doden I know right. I really just wanted to have a Sam moment one last time.

[@gracetaylor7527]

That would actually break my effing heart xO

[@zuzanalukyova6513]

Yes! I was waiting the entire book for her to see Sam and it didn't happen 😖

[@julies.5886]

DONT PLAY WITH MY HEART LIKE THAT BUT LIKE SAME I WAS KINDA DISAPPOINTED

[@audreyyyhappened6831]

THATS A GOOD ONE

[@lilycanaday6887]

Honestly Gavriels death made me cry so much cause it’s like he was only fighting for his son and like he probably died thinking his son still hated him and that breaks my head like I’m literally DEAD. I also really didn’t like that Aelin and Dorian don’t have that much magic anymore, like Aelin barely has any fire magic now and that was just kinda disappointing to me.

[@exile3292]

Lily Canaday agreed i honestly wanted to imagine alien rolling up with the blood oath squad and wiping out 20000 valg grunts instantly

[@MsDianaJean]

Exile that REALLY pissed me off! Big time

[@cm1868]

yeah, in another series, i read the fire main character had her magic come back full force after she lost it all- also with a gate- right before her coronation - but i see the strength lesson in aelin having to go on without as much of hers

[@ThisIsMattyTrying]

Hey I know this 4 years past your comment but I JUST finished KoA and this part got me too but I think Gabriel died with a part of him knowing that his son did love him. It’s in the part where he talks with Dorian as they’re travelling north.

[@kioskmanager455]

Me too. I also thought we needed more Nox & Aelin heart felt scenes.

[@xtabbytayyibahx9600]

All the reunions in this book were the scenes that made me cry the most. In Empire of Storms and Queen of Shadows, everyone acted as if their past relationships had been for absolutely nothing. I was waiting so long for the Chaol, Celaena and Dorian let's embrace the past and still love each other moments/reunions and so wasn't disappointed! I wish Sarah had gone more into the past though, and brought up some cute, endearing but also hard memories they had with each other- that would've been the stabbing blow for me. Amazing review though! I couldn't have said it better, and you actually put all my feels into words, and not this agony and random ramblings I was yelling and sobbing at the end of the book! So thank you, haha xx 💞

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Ahhhh I know!!!! Even though their reunion and goodbye were short it brought up so many emotions 💓💓💓 they all went through so much together it makes my heart happy!! Thanks for watching 😭😭🖤🖤

When Aelin said bye to chaol and Dorian in the end I cried it broke me

[@tatiannalandry]

This series has always had a special place in my heart. Aelin has gone through SO MUCH and to see her pull through makes me SO happy! The Aelin & Chaol & Dorian goodbye was one of my biggest tear jerkers for me. LOVED your review!

[@margarets2924]

I’m so glad you did this spoiler review bc I finished the book yesterday also. Don’t forget when Elide and Lorcan also finally had sex when traveling north! I also cried so many times. I think the 13 sacrificing themselves plus Gavriel and Murtagh was enough death to be ok with no one else dying.

[@haleyanne128]

The part where aedion throws Lysandra out of the tent with nothing but a cloak on and bare foot. Completely destroys me. Did no one else just cry?

[@yolandarivera817]

Yes! He went too far! In my eyes he was never redeemed from that

[@sanjurayan4938]

Okay first off, THANK YOU for putting my thoughts and feelings into actual words because I sure as hell can't. But there are a few things I need to say before I curl up into a ball in the corner and cry: My soul died along with the Thirteen and my heart shattered into 12 distinct pieces and I don't think I'll ever be okay. Asterin was honestly one of my favourites in this whole series (no one appreciates her enough) and I AM RUINED forever now. I also surprisingly balled my eyes out at Gavriel's funeral thing when Aelin was talking. That shit was deep. Also, Aelin and Fenrys' new friendship is awesome and I love how much closer they are, even after all the shit Maeve put them through. And finally, DID YOU REALISE THAT RYHS ACTUALLY SAVED AELIN!?! If he hadn't slowed her down with his magic, she would have been falling too fast and would have missed her world completely! He fucking saved her guys wtf

[@shalinisinha9614]

Sanju Rayan oh my god, i was thinking who is the fae that slowed her down!! It's RHYSAND😢😢😢

[@alisonthao4500]

Oh my gosh , yes . I definitely relate with you when you say that Asterin was one of your favorite characters . I loved her so much and was devastated when she died . AND I WAS TOTALLY SCREAMING WHEN FEYRE AND RHYS CAME INTO THE PICTURE . 😭❤️ gavriel’s death saddened me the most . How he smiled and said to his son “close the gate Aedion.” THAT LINE IS WHERE THE TEARS FELL . He and Aedion had just reunited and they were torn apart so quickly . AND I THOUGHT NOX AND AELIN WOULD MEET AGAIN IN THIS BOOK . But they didn’t . Just kind of sad 😂😭

[@kioskmanager455]

The loss of The 13 made me ugly cry from all my other cry scenes, my feels for Manon, broke my heart.

[@melc5280]

When I realized it was Rhysand it took everything in me not to shriek with happiness! 😅

[@alondrapuentesgallegos5093]

I just finished the book its 330am and I'm crying my eyes out. I am angry at the ending because Dorian and Manon story felt unfinished. I need more!! I need them married and more scenes of them. I feel like they didn't get enough time unlike the other couples.

[@yolandarivera817]

Yessssss!!!

[@fayezehbnd4095]

I JUST WANTED CONFIRMATION THAT THE WINGED MAKE IS ACTUALLY RHYS THANK YOU VERY MUCH

[@jasminjerry4489]

I think I understand now why Sarah wanted Aelin's power to be depleted in the end of the book. It's a theory, but I think it's to show how Aelin didn't need magic, but determination and courage to defeat Maeve. Magic was never needed it was showing how Aelin had to fight and TRULY want the crown and fight for her people to win the battle. Even if she was an assassin she could have fought Maeve. It might also bring the story full circle that she is and will always be the chocloate loving classy assassin who bows to no one, but her family.

[@ellias]

OH JESUS 43 MINUTES

[@trishagullapudi7030]

Can I just say that my heart physically shattered after the scene when Aelin was rescued, and she started screaming about her iron restraints. And (I forget whose point of view) but the devastation described on Lorcans face was just so upsetting...I was about to cry. But the fact that our fire-breathing bitch Queen was ruined by Maeve and cairn just hurt. And I think that the scene where she faces off against erawan and Maeve was so much more heightened for me because I subconsciously kept looking back to that scene. Like that was a huge moment, to show us that even after all of that, she was not broken.

[@yolandarivera817]

Yesss! And Lorcan was also able to break out of Maeve's mind control too.. wait was it Lorcan or Rowan who fought the mind control..

[@kareena7916]

THE WHOLE BOOK I was just thinking *Where's Vaughan?*

[@Violet-tw4lr]

I have so many questions. I feel like the ending was a bit rushed. Like where did Nox go? Where was Petrah's Grandmother since Manon didn't kill her? The owl on Maeve's shoulder? What happened to Dorian's Mom and brother? Why wasn't there a little Sam scene at the end where Aelin remembers her time with him?😭 Also I wanted a bit more discussion and conversation between Aelin,Dorian & Chaol after the war because she did talk with everyone but this wasn't included.The good bye didn't makeup for it. I just need more of those 3❤️😭

[@yolandarivera817]

Yes!!! To all the questions! Especially the Owl!??

[@yolandarivera817]

And Dorian's family! Like what happened to them?

[@angbaci]

I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE WHOSE HEART STILL BREAKS EVERY TIME I HEAR CHAOL/CELAENA. I shipped them soooo much, even though I ship Aelin and Rowan. HOW AM I SO SPLIT. AND YASSS LORCAN IS THE SASSIEST GRUMP IN ALL OF ERILEA. Him and Elide were EVERYTHING in this book. That damn dam scene... When he said he'd always be with her and that he loves her, I completely submitted and gave myself to the holy shrine that is Elorcan. Wish we got to see Aelin reunite with Not though! And I hope there's a novella - really want to see if Elide gets her ankle healed. I think that would be an amazing arc as her mangled ankle is so heavily entwined with her identity and it symbolises so much for her and Lorcan would be a cinnamon roll, holding her hand through the whole experience.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Figjam OMG YESSS WE STAN CHAOLENA HAHAHA BUT ALSO YES WE STAN ROWAN. THEY CONFLICT LOLOLOL for me it’s not even like a romantic feel I just really love them and all they’ve been through and they deserve to be in each other’s lives forever 😭😭😭😭😭😭 and omg yessss I would love to see novellas!!

[@elizabethbaltic7189]

I was crying when Fenrys almost died

[@Viewstar]

I loved some parts, i hated others. I didn't get some scenes like the world falling scenes...why the hell did Gavriel have to die so soon, why the hell was Aedion keeping that grudge on Lysandra forever and ever. I needed more Manon and Dorian scenes, more plots (really missed the roller coasters from Queen of Shadows), more reunions (Nox and Aelin's). The way Erawan died was a joke honestly and made the whole end war feel more focused on Maeve's encounter. Really liked the friendship Aelin and Fenrys had. I love your review and reactions, so funny :D

[@CrescentiaLuvsU]

What if Dorian really did have Valg in him and it died when the rest of the Valg died at Erawan and Maeve’s death. So now when he asks if he’s human it of course would tell him that he is since now he’s all human. If he would have asked before the death of the Valg then it would have said he was a demon. Hhmmm... :D

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Sophia O. Rip

[@isabellamokaya6585]

I do not think that Dorian is Valg, but Fae. Remember the blood sacrifice Aelin had to make? Aelin is a descendant of Mala, who is Elena's mother. Elena is half-Fae. But Elena married Gavin, the first King of Adarlan. Which means Dorian is also a descendant of Mala through Elena. So Dorian may be half-Fae like Aelin. Which also means he could have made the same blood sacrifice.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Thank you 🖤

[@rhondawithabook8001]

This was so thorough. I just finished and I’m still processing so the recap was nice

[@taylorjames1690]

I just finished KoA last night...so many feelings. I’m so sad bc Throne of Glass is over. It makes me want to cry. I loved your review! I was like yes someone else has finished it bc I need to talk about this! Like I loved every minute of this book. But the 13...WHY...and Gavriel. I love Lorcan’s Lord name so much. The goodbye scene between everyone tho. I’m ranting lol. It’s just so beautiful.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Taylor James thank you and yes yes yes to everything 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 I am so sad

[@ashes2ashes-l8z]

i literally had to throw the book down numerous times because of the FEELS

[@AshleyOutpaged]

RELATABLE

[@allisonb4020]

I also totally can’t believe it’s over! I am really happy with the ending though and how it felt like everything came so full circle

[@roxyburton9827]

ugh this series just kills me I’ve never cried so much over a book

[@captainsaveahoe__]

OKAY I FEEL LIKE EVERYONE IS IGNORING THE FACT THAT WHEN MAEVE WAS MAKING AELINS CADRE SEEMTHOSE ILLUSIONS LORCAN TOLD ELIDE "I think you might be my mate." LIKE UMMMMMM WHAT

[@AshleyOutpaged]

RIGHT LIKE WTH WHAT DOES THAT MEAN BOIIII

[@Danielle-and-Deborah]

All the reunions were so emotional!!!!! And I loved all the parallels too.

[@madelinesturgeon1213]

Did you notice when Aelin is falling through the worlds, she also passes through a city that I think is supposed to be New York! It made me so happy!

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Madeline Sturgeon just went back to look and could totally be a modern day city so cool hahaha

[@BaizurahBasri]

Yes. Yaassss. I was watching your Hyped Books video and I was wondering what you think about SJM! I love KOA! SERIOUSLY! I cried like mad too!

[@bhumikabhargava8136]

Thank u for reviewing this book so beautifully .... just finished reading this amazing book and damn I am happy that I saw this video Throne of glass series is LOVE .

[@depikaam66]

Loved the review! Though the book made me weep nd curl up in a ball I think it was a spectacular end. Loved the part evangiline played " win back my kingdom "🙌 Let's take a moment for fenrys moonbeam😎

[@shannensymonds2768]

I seriously needed this, I finished KoA at 1am and I haven't had anyone to talk to about all the things and I'm not going to be able to film a review for another 2 days because my notes are just a mess... I was both sobbing and in a state of shock the whole time reading this book

[@AshleyOutpaged]

Ah mannn I feel this so hard literally me the other day 😭😭😭

[@wickerlibrary]

i love this because this was pretty much my exact reaction while ranting to my friends on a DAILY while i was reading all the ToG books. i understand everything i'm saying but everyone around me was probably very concerned for my mental health, seeing as they had never read any of the books and just tried comforting me in my pain xD

[@manydreams89]

I’m so glad another person has finished this book already. I HAVE SO MANY FEELINGS AND I CAN NOT AT ALL

[@wickerlibrary]

~ fireheart, why do you cry? ~ THAT line broke me. so did pretty much all the rest of the book but that. fucking. line. AHHH. and when she was trying to get the mask off when they saved her, and she was traumatized and ah ah ah i had to close the book so i didn't get the pages too wet

[@keiththebookie4423]

I just finished the book when the 13 sacrificed themselves to take down the towers and then Gavriel died defending aedion I died a little inside

[@AJ_2218]

I can believe how much you still remind me of Amren in the acortar series uuuugggh. And like this book gave me to much of the feels omg.

[@AshleyOutpaged]

omg hahah you are the best

[@angelicaschuyler9349]

Hands down one of the best scenes is when the all the witches who had been in hiding for so long find their cloaks and follow Manon into battle my heart was like ghgjfkkcndkancl

[@KatiesBookNook426]

Omg yes this book made me so emotional I loved this review so much it made me emotional all over again 😭

[@AshleyOutpaged]

KOA should just be called emotional lol

[@Chadlton]

Girl... thank you for saying in 43 minutes what I have not been able to!!! My word, THIS BOOK!!!

[@aayushipatel4306]

When Fenrys was about to die before Aelin offered him the bloodoath I swear my roommate hated me for that because I was like aaaand he's dead wait no no he's alive NVM he's dying he's DEAD!!! …oops nevermind she saved him!!! He's alive!!!!

[@teatimewitht6937]

Started reading it yesterday night and finished reading it literally 3 minutes ago and rushed straight here. I’ll be back to talk feels after the review!

[@AshleyOutpaged]

[@AllysonKing]

[@jordank2330]

ME😂 i'm so sad that nox and aelin never get their reunion, like where did he even go?! i gasped out loud when rhys and feyre appeared! i was hoping their stories would connect somehow but didn't expect it at all! i really wish sam's ghost would've showed up at some point! also - lord lorcan lochan..whatta name. i have so maNY EMOTIONS ABOUT THIS BOOK AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHAT TO DO WITH THEM!!1!

[@AshleyOutpaged]

YESSSSSS let us never forget THE NEW LORD

[@2010msregina]

Yaaaasssss!!! I’m still mourning the thirteen.

[@randompersonontheinterweb]

35:29 I wonder if we'll get to see that scene in the next book in Acotar.

[@nadiatabka9356]

You pretty much said all the things that went through my mind when I read Hellas's book aka KoS! (that's what I'm going to call it from now on) It was so intense !! I just couldn't stop reading ! I was crying and laughing and freaking out the whole time ! I've never been this affected by a book before. There are some tiny things that were missing though like Nox Owen Aelin's reunion, or Aelin remembering Sam while she was tortured and when she was finally in Terassen. I Also really wanted to read more about Nehemia's family. I wanted them to be involved in this war somehow. And Aelin and Aedion's reunion wasn't as dramatic as I've expected. But overall this book was absolutely amazing! I'll definitely re-read it and the whole series with it 'cause it just can't be over! I won't accept it hahahahaha
