“The rest of the world quieted into nothing. In that moment, after ten long years, Celaena looked at Chaol and realized she was home.”
I devoured this book in just a few days. After finishing part one, I knew I had to binge read the rest of the book (because how could you not?!). This book contains more romance compared to the last two books of the series (TOG and TAB) and I noticed how SJM really do love stirring the readers with who's going to end up with whom. I'm not sure I appreciate it at the start of the book - because I was just confused how it happened. Although throughout the series, I can see it was bound to happen.
The book was pretty slow paced at the start but slowly was becoming more of a fast paced. The book was more or less just a month of its world timing, fyi. It showed how Calaena has been a King's Champion for the months after TOG ended and how she's immediately refraining to do what she's tasked to do - which is kill people. I love her and Nehemia together too since they've definitely bonded and became friends. World-building-wise, there's a lot more details I have to take note of that was explained throughout the book. The twists here and there of the book was also so much I had to keep up. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and hope to be more hyped in the next books of the series!
The ending though. Just the ending is enough for me rate this book more than four stars. Reading the other two books and end up with this third book ending was just so intense. Sure, we know that Calaena was something - Terrasen something, to be specific. But I was not expecting the what (don't want to spoil). UGH. I'm pretty addicted but I have to stagger the series reading because I'm waiting for my friend to catch up.
