The novel, “Kingdom of Ash” written by Sarah J. Maas is the last book in the series “Throne of Glass”. Aelin is imprisoned in an iron box by Maeve and must rely on the reason why she endures these tortures; Terrasen. Though her willpower continues to fray with each session of abuse, whether it’s Maeve’s illusions or Carin’s physical torment, knowing that surrendering to Maeve will doom those she loves stops her from breaking. Fortunately Fenrys is there with Aelin, but unfortunately he hates having to watch her suffer and not be able to do anything about it. But while Aelin is no longer there, the others must fight for their queen. Aedion and Lysandra are Terrasen’s last line of defense against total devastation. They quickly learn, however, that the large number of allies they’ve recruited to fight Erawan’s armies may not be enough to save them. Chaol, Manon, and Dorian are all trying to complete different sets of tasks all over Erilea and finding that they don’t have the time. Rowan and his cadre and Elide are desperately searching for Aelin.
This novel definitely broke my heart, especially close to the end. So much happens; the last and final battle determine everything and so much is lost but the finale is something that cannot be missed. The emotion and passion put into this last novel is impressive, and because this book ending is so amazing you will have to read it yourself to fully understand the extent of my enthusiasm. I would recommend this book to anyone who loves fantasy around the teenage phase to the young adult phase.
