So good, I can’t even describe it. So much happened in this book and there were so chapter cliffhangers that wrecked me so much. Even though it didn’t have a huge cliffhanger at the end I wanted to start the next book(s) asap to continue the story because I love these characters (except maybe Chaol still, I hold a grudge hehe).

WOW it took me a while to get into this series, but for this one SJM didn’t hold punches. Action, adventure, tragedy, answers to questions and establishing more questions!

I hope that manon changes sides and Dorian is able to heal and that Elide finds Aelin and so much more

WE ARE HOME, BABY! HELL YEAH TESSAREN! 

Wowee that was quite the epic tale! 

Felt a smidge slow at the start but the last 200 pages were crazy af in usual SJM manner. 

Here are my thoughts on the characters for this book:

I’m so flipping HAPPY that Dorian got freed, poor sweet summer child, he didn’t deserve to be possessed for so long! BUT ALSO! Every single person just frickin left him to run a country on his own???? After he was tortured for months?!??! Like Aelin and her court all left to go North, and Chaol and Nesryn are going south! Who’s going to watch our battered and bruised lil king?!?! I don’t trust any of these Adarlan jerks to treat him right! But something I’m hopeful for is that I feel like Manon and him may become a thing????? That’d be quite the dynamic! Can’t wait! 

Manon you’re sick af and a rockstar queen. Keep rocking, girlie! Hope Elide doesn’t get lost in the woods or break her other leg after you just left her there. 

Also Lorcan was a fun lil addition, I don’t like him but I think he’s fun! Saucy lil guy! 

I hope Lysandra and Aedion get together, they’d be really cute especially since she can scare the shit outta him. Good for her. She’s becoming one of my favs. 

Aelin, I love you and Rowan together but I really wish it wasn’t established that you are blood relatives. I don’t care how distantly related you are, the fact that you can say “let’s go visit our aunt” is WEIRD. But long live the QUEEN! 

Chaol, buddy, you really were pissing me off this book. Sorry about your lil leggies and I hope you get them back but you need to drink your “respect women” juice and treat Nesryn right pls cause I am getting real sick of your antics. 

Now, ONTO THE TANDEM READ! LETS GOOOOOOOO

Throughout this book, the action sequences are very well crafted to fit both the setting and the characters. Some of these characters really come into their own here, and the plot takes a direction that feels fitting but I didn’t fully expect.
