 Just let me die already. 
 "You think this is a bad idea." 
 "Without a doubt." 
 "Then why are you smiling?" 
 "Because," she said, "bad ideas are my favorite kind." 
 YOU. Yes, exactly you, my dear ACOL characters. You and your damn bad ideas made me die inside at least once a chapter. And you know why? Because I liked almost 95% of you, and the only thing you were capable of was getting killed, getting almost-killed or remember painful memories. 
 Someone has to stop this torture! 
 ...but wait, is this really the last book? I mean, the story can't really really really end here, right? Geez, for all I hate you I love you so much! 
 Kell, sweetie with such a kind heart, strong powers, but a fragile soul. 
 Lila, reckless foolish loyal girl, always ready to get in trouble. 
 Rhy, adorable witty prince with such a heavy burden to bear. 
 Holland... my hero. No matter what others may say, I've loved you since the first book and I always will. 
 Really, Schwab's skills in giving life to such amazing characters is astonishing. So many, and yet all so complex and unforeseenable. It had never happend to me to be this fond of such a great number of them! I usually have just one or two who satisfy my picky tastes, but in this case I was mesmerized. 
 But of course they aren't the only quality of this series. I mean, have you noticed all those (damned, heartbreaking but awesome) plot twists?! I couldn't even start saying "Maybe it will go like thi-" that suddenly everything started changing and there were new problems (yeah, never good news, unfortunately.) 
 Well, to be honest there are some good news: the ships (and no, I'm not referring to the mean of transport). I was afraid that my OTP would have never become canon, but I received some wonderful scenes that warmed my heart of fangirl! I loved how these relationships developed slowly and how each member of the couple poked the partner: it made everything more interesting! 
 What can I even add? I cried at the beginning, when things where so bad I had lost hope. I cried in the middle, where the first characters started to die. And I cried at the end, because I wasn't ready to say goodbye. 
 Get ready, 'cause this book is going to make you suffer like (k)hell.
