I think this might have been my favorite book in the series so far. So many plot lines converging. It always amazed me how Aelin just makes a plan and then… she does it. And succeeds. I mean this book is over 600 pages and is full of surprises that should have screwed up her plans but she still accomplished everything she planned to when she came from Wendlyn.

I was actually shocked when Arobynn was as killed. Like… he kind of was described as being invincible, and all in one night he was gone, just like that. AND. Aelin changed his will?!? Same thing with the King of Adarlan. Like she really just killed off two of her greatest enemies (for most of the series so far anyways) in like a month or something. Also the ROMANCE!!! The way Aelin describes Rowan’s smell as pine and snow through the whole book and then gets to Terrasen and realizes he literally smells like her home? 😩🗡️

I can’t wait to read the next books! As Manon Blackbeak says, 
“The world is changing. I just hope we survive it.”

3.0

it felt like there was a lot of lead up of information for this book and then it wasn’t until the last 200 or so pages that it got exciting and felt like i was in the edge of my seat. for that reason, the pace felt a lot slower.

4.0

The world building and character development continue to be fabulous. This book also had satisfying conclusions to many story arcs. 

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.
