Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7) by Sarah J. Maas

I am so glad that I finished this series. Maas saved the best for last. I really liked the ending that all (or at least most) of the characters got. There are a lot of characters and plot threads going and Maas deftly weaves them together to make a satisfying ending. I honestly got a little emotional at certain points and that is a mark of a good story. I would give this 5 out of 5 stars.

I finally got back to reading this after reading other books for a while. I really liked this one. I think this is my favorite in the series so far. Tower of Dawn is full of twists and turns and ancient secrets revealed. The reader is introduced to a new continent (the Southern Continent) of Erilea and to a whole new cast of characters. Chaol Westfall and Nesryn Faliq arrive in Antica to plead with the Khagan to raise an army to help the Northern Continent fight Erawan and his dark army. The Khagan has many sons and daughters, one of whom will be the Heir and one day Khagan himself or herself. The royal family is full of interesting characters. The Torre Cesme in Antica is home to the famed healers. One such healer is Yrene Towers. She is tasked with healing Chaol from his spinal wound suffered earlier in the series. I really like where Maas is going with the story and how it all is coming together for the next and final book, Kingdom of Ash. I am eager to find out how the series ends. It has been a long, eventful ride. I would rate this book 5 out of 5 stars.

Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3) by Sarah J. Maas-565 pages

The story of Celaena Sardothien, King's Champion and Adarlan's Assassin, continues in this third volume of the "Throne of Glass" series. In this book, Celaena is off in Wendlyn where she was sent by the King of Adarlan at the end of the last novel. Celaena is taken by Rowan, a Fae warrior and prince, beyond Wendlyn to Fae lands to meet her aunt Maeve. Maeve is Queen of Doranelle. Chaol and Dorian run into some trouble in Adarlan. Celaena unlocks her true magical potential and gains confidence in herself and her abilities. This story is told from many perspectives and new voices are added, including Manon, who is a Blackbeak witch, and Sorscha, who is a healer in the King's glass castle. I enjoyed reading this book and have enjoyed the series so far. I am very interested in seeing where Maas takes this story in the next volume, "Queen of Shadows."
