Unfortunately, I can't give this book a full 5 stars because the first half is quite a bit boring. But the second half makes up for it tenfold.
Spoiler
First and foremost, I love Rowan. He was really mean to her at the beginning but they made it up to each other pretty well. Also, page 315... in tears. And I absolutely loved his loyalty to her by the end of the book. Made me so happy and proud and giddy.I love how strong Aelin has become. The part about her nurse made had me in tears, no child should go through such horrors. She is such a powerful, wonderful FMC, and I can't wait to see how er character continues to grow throughout the series.
And last, but not least, the Aedion/Dorian/Chaol section... Absolutely has me in an anxious wreck. They better survive or else I stg.
Cannot wait to start QoS! Getting through CoM for this was absolutely worth it!!!

After rereading: 5⭐️ This book was so emotional and deep seeing Celaena work through her grief and turmoil. There are so many new characters we meet that I come to love too. Abraxos is absolutely adorable. I lived for the scenes with him. This kept me captivated and entertained the whole time. Beautiful storytelling.
