Okay. Where do I even start?? I LOVED this book. The character development is SO good, I absolutely love all of the relationships and how they evolve so much. When Aelin almost kills Manon I really felt how much I'd grown to care about Manon cuz I didn't want her to kill her! That whole thing was great. Also, LYSANDRA??? Obsessed. The plot twist with the king and perrington and kind of Kaltain? Ah. I'm just so excited to see how this continues to evolve. 🤌🏼
