Fabulous reads – Series finale ends in blaze of glory

Book review - Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas.

Kingdom of Ash, Sarah J. Maas, Jonathan Ball Publishers, ISBN: 9781 4088 72918

SAYING a final farewell to the Throne of Glass series was bittersweet. We all knew there was an end on the horizon and, even though it was years in the making, it still feels too soon.

A usual Sarah J Maas novel would have me racking my brain as to who, what, where and why things were happening for the first 100 pages or so. I would slog it out as I knew the juicy bits were on the way. There was no pushing through needed for this novel. Brace yourselves Aelin fans, you’re in for a wicked ride.

To take back her throne and kingdom, Aelin needs to collect all three Wyrd Gate keys, seal the portal and muster up an army strong enough to defeat the Valg king, Erawan.

The action scenes will leave you breathless, the romance will have you swooning and the ending will see each character get exactly what they deserve.

Readers will quite literally speed through the almost 1 000 pages of a novel as there are chapters that are so intense you will probably find yourself chewing at your nails.

The characters and the world they inhabit are truly spectacular and is testament to Maas’s unending imagination.

I found she made a few plot manipulations to help move the story along and sway it into the favour of the heroes. The book may have a fair amount of flaws, and wasn’t perfect by any means, but it sure comes pretty darn close.
