I still consider myself a baby fantasy reader—I haven’t really ventured outside SJM yet. My brain sometimes struggles with keeping track of all these moving parts as the magic system is so foreign to me. I’m always afraid to google anything, but sometimes I just have to do it. It doesn’t help that SJM loves those gotchya moments where Aelin retroactively tells you of the genius, secret-from-the-reader move she made last chapter that conveniently saved her/her people this chapter. Oh well.
I just . . . I feel like I’m finally getting it. I felt like a fan girl when Aelin and Manon met. SJM does sacrificial gestures like no other and they always stab me right in the heart. I feel like Aelin is my baby and when she wept after the King died I literally wanted to hold her. I’m insane. Nothing is real. I just loved everyone in this book. It’s 2:30am and I didn’t mean to finish this so late.

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.itsme_bianca's review against another edition
