Epic world building. Love the elaborate plans for revenge, the small elements of friendship and hope. Team Rowan.

This book references sex, but not in a graphic way. The characters list for each other but don’t actually fulfill those desires. Minor storyline dealing with pregnancy and a miscarriage. Lots of blood and carnage, but she’s an assassin and they’re fighting a war.

Felt like the pacing was a bit off and that some of the character arcs changed a bit too fast in a short number of chapters to really be able to take in the change for the direction the story was going in.

This book made me feel too many things. I mean: the whole Dorian thing, his fathers death, i wanna know if the king of Adarlan was actually a good person and just possessed. So many questions that i have. Even Arobynns death!!!

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
