BOOK REVIEW – Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #7)
I wonder if Tamlin, from ACOTAR, broke into TOG and is pretending to be a young princess who loved her kingdom…very much. SPOILERS Though the circumstances have changed, Aelin is the exact same girl who was introduced to us in the first book. Seven novels, one novella, and the character arc is flat and uninspiring.… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #5)
MAJOR SPOILERS Have you asked yourself why Aelin is so forgiving of Elena when she discovers her betrayal? Why she doesn’t rip her ancestor limb from limb for her atrocities, which would be very characteristic of the FMC? It’s because Aelin would’ve done the same. She would’ve bartered the lives of innocent people to amend… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Greek Mythology and Religion in Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #3)
“We pity you, each and every one of you. For what you do to your children. They are not born evil. But you force them to kill and hurt and hate until there is nothing left inside them–of you. They have made you into monsters. And we feel sorry for you” (533). SPOILERS While reading… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #2)
“You will never be my friend. You will always be my enemy” SPOILERS The battle to quell rapacious men becomes an elusive feat when friends start betraying friends because it’s easier to acquiesce than it is to fight. All three of the main characters are guilty of retreating when their moral responsibilities feel insurmountable. Take… Continue reading

BOOK REVIEW – Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (Throne of Glass #1)
“What’s the point in having a mind if you don’t use it to make judgments?”“What’s the point in having a heart if you don’t use it to spare others from the harsh judgements of your mind?” (Pg. 231) SPOILERS All these nuances that make up a single person, and Chaol and Dorian still see the… Continue reading
