I can’t even explain how much it hurt me when they died. My own heat fractured for all of them. Asterin never got to go back to the cabin in person or after death. Abraxos’s mate died. Th flower sniffers mate. The dragon who won all of our hearts, his mate died. Manon, the iron teeth witch who claimed to never feel a thing, felt her heart shatter. She CRIED! (Same tbh.) And broke her IRON fingernails. Manon lost her true family, which means she will never talk with Asterin again or train with the rest of her thirteen or ask Ghislaine about things. None of it. Honestly this whole passage was written beautifully by Sjm. To say that I ugly cried for a while was an understatement, full on put the book down or it would drown crying. Even if they were just fictional, it was so real to me. It felt like a part of my family had died. Even the person who was reading the book in the audio sounded like they were about to cry, Why must you hurt me in this way? You and Sjm ripped my heart out and stomped all over it AGAIN! I was just about to go to sleep, peacefully for once. Wonderful depressing job! Broke my heart dude. 😭🌷🦅
Sorry for the long post. I just have so much to say about it and definitely could say more. Gods I could write you a whole essay. But I will spare your time, 😅
My mom finished kingdom of ash a few weeks back and she came to my room telling me that with the amount of books she’s read the thirteens death shattered her own heart and brought her to tears
As the Thirteen, their broken bodies scattered around the tower in a near-circle, made the Yielding as well. Light. They all burned with it. Radiated it. Light flowed from their souls, their fierce hearts as they gave themselves over to the power. Became incandescent with it… …As she and the Thirteen Yielded completely, and blew themselves and the witch tower to smithereens.” That’s what really got me in the end😭😭 Twelve of my favorite characters dying within four pages, man, that hurts😢
I cried. Cried so much that my family started getting worried and when I told then why they started laughing, I'm disgusted. I raged at them and cried day and night.
It was just a stream of wholesome edits and you ruined it!!! Ps. This was as incredible as it was LITERALLY heartbreaking. I don't think anyone can read this serise, get to this moment and not have tears in their eyes❤😢
