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:
Iâm so flipping HAPPY that Dorian got freed, poor sweet summer child, he didnât 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! Whoâs going to watch our battered and bruised lil king?!?! I donât trust any of these Adarlan jerks to treat him right! But something Iâm hopeful for is that I feel like Manon and him may become a thing????? Thatâd be quite the dynamic! Canât wait!
Manon youâre sick af and a rockstar queen. Keep rocking, girlie! Hope Elide doesnât get lost in the woods or break her other leg after you just left her there.
Also Lorcan was a fun lil addition, I donât like him but I think heâs fun! Saucy lil guy!
I hope Lysandra and Aedion get together, theyâd be really cute especially since she can scare the shit outta him. Good for her. Sheâs becoming one of my favs.
Aelin, I love you and Rowan together but I really wish it wasnât established that you are blood relatives. I donât care how distantly related you are, the fact that you can say âletâs go visit our auntâ 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 ârespect womenâ juice and treat Nesryn right pls cause I am getting real sick of your antics.
Now, ONTO THE TANDEM READ! LETS GOOOOOOOO

Watching Aelin become who she was always meant to be & fight for her loved ones & what is right, is inspiring! The growth she has had since book 1 is in incredible!
And the bromance between Chaol & Dorian is like my favorite bromance ever! Coming in second only to my bat boys.
All the characters have incredible growth in this book! & I could go on about how much I love them all, but then this will get really long, so I wonât.
But my favorite character is Rowan! & having him not being in the first third of the book gave me serious withdrawal! My heart just leaped out of my chest when he finally showed up! I was so ecstatic! I canât wait to read more of him, & more of his relationship with Aelin! My heart! đ
