We are not defined by the things we do in order to survive. We do not apologize for them...Maybe they have broken you, but you are a sharper weapon because of it. And it is time you strike.

We are all of us dark creatures, but if we linger in those shadows we'll be lost. Instead we must seek the light when we can, and that's just what you're doing.

Wow. My journey of several years with this series has come to a close. Sarah J Maas is truly one of the best writers I have ever read, and Kingdom of Ash is some of her best yet. Sarah's talent for writing diverse women who all are important and strong in many different ways shone through in some of the best ways. I cannot wait to see what the future holds for Sarah's writing and I certainly believe that a better world is possible. 💛💜
