“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom …”

It’s over. I’ve spent 5 minutes now, struggling with my words and pouring through my thesaurus to find words that fit the feelings that are swarming and erupting inside my mind to try and describe the emotions coursing through me and my thoughts spanning this entire magnificent eight book series. I might do another post talking about the series as a whole. There is just so much to say. I might even do a separate post totally just on spoilers, but for now spoilers will be in white.

This book was a surprise. I didn’t think I’d like it so much. I predicted I’d rate it 3-4 stars. But NO. I rated it five whole stars. Because I had forgotten the amazingness of Sarah J. Maas’s books, I had forgotten how heart-stopping and mesmerising they are.

The beginning drew me in immediately, as I love all things kingdoms – kings, queens, princes and princesses. The world-building is absolutely fantastic in this book, as it is with all her books. The world-building is what knocks up an extra star for me. I love the world-building, I love the world, I love the kingdoms with all their own secrets and traditions. 

First-Impressions: Tower of Dawn

FIRST OF ALL I JUST DISCOVERED THIS COVER, I’M NOT SURE IF IT’S “OFFICIAL” BUT IM IN LOVE.

Surprise, surprise, I’m actually beginning to enjoy it. Somewhat. Returning to Sarah J Maas’s world is like returning to an old and previously forgotten home, that for me I was practically a second home last summer, when I ripped through the entire Throne of Glass series.

I had intended to read loads of classics that summer, but instead I stumbled upon Throne of Glass, was instantly ensnared in the story, and so, there was no escape.

I forgot how much I loved this fantasy world. The world-building is absolutely brilliant. There are just no words that I have to describe it.
