The only reason this one isn’t closer to five stars for me is that I started getting really bored with the big bad guys. Way too much time was spent on the villains and their evils; I would have much preferred that narrative focus on any of the badass leading ladies.

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.mrsjburgin's review against another edition

Some things felt a little drawn out, but they were worth the ending…
Sometimes the emotional whiplash and indecision from these characters annoys me, but then again… they are 19-25 year olds (minus Rowan 😅)
I’m going to say something that is an unpopular opinion 😅 (spoilers ahead)
Also Aelin is a bitch to him when she blames him for EVERYTHING that happened while she was gone, yet tells him “You do not get to blame me for that - for his (the king’s) actions.” I still love her and am rooting for her, but this was not it and she was truly unlikeable at the beginning of this book. Chaol gave up his entire life (as he should’ve) when he understood what was going on. He gets so much hate (from Aelin and fans of the series)
