I was really expecting to fall into a hole now that I've finished this series... but I'm not. Not because this final book wasn't amazing and I don't want to read on, or because I'm not sad it's over, but the way it ended just feels right and gives me, as a reader, peace - which is something book series don't often do, especially not without becoming incredibly unrealistic, but that wasn't the case here, either. It's just... okay. It's good like this. (Which does not mean I'm not really, REALLY looking forward to the sequels I heard will start being published next year.) 
 I was hoping for some things, and at the same time hoping they wouldn't happen because it would be too cliche, and I was happy with the way they were resolved in the end. (view spoiler)[ I'm referring to Mor and Azriel here. (hide spoiler)] Friendships, relationships, and even alliances can be very complicated and Sarah J. Maas conveyed that. Some relationships are easier than others, some are dubious, some keep being turned upside down and both the characters and the readers never know what a character is going to do next, if he's even on their side or on the other side. It makes the social interactions so much more interesting and realistic and that's one of my favourite things about these books. 
 The world is another, because without drawing extremely intricate maps with the names of a thousand villages on them, the whole world - Prythian, the human world, everything - is described in such a way that you can almost see it and imagine yourself standing there. The creatures, the Courts, the differences between Fae and human lands, the cities... everything is described, but not in a way that feels forced or dreary. It's all just... there. It's described in such a way that you can actually feel it. I applaud you, Sarah. Phew. And now I will need to go and find something else to read to get over this, because I think I'm starting to fall into that hole a little bit now after all.
