I am CONVERTED. I don’t know why I resist popular books sometimes, but everyone was right about this one. You really do have to read the first book (ACOTAR) like it’s a long intro to this book. This still bugs me to some degree, but the payoff is so great, it’s worth it. The rush I got from this ending was on par with the first time I read Prisoner of Azkaban. This is the high we readers are always searching for!! I had to rush out and buy book 3 immediately, and I’m officially a fangirl. 6 stars if I could!
