I’m sooooo irritated that Soracha died, Aedion and Dorian have been captured, and yet Chaol gets to leave to find her???? Chaol sucks, like he is actively the person I care least about and now he’s in charge of saving them????? Can’t wait to see how that goes bc it’s giving redemption arc.Graphic: Torture, Slavery, Panic attacks/disorders, Murder, Physical abuse, Grief, Fire/Fire injury, Death of parent, War, Violence, Kidnapping, Emotional abuse, Death, and Blood

I feel so late to the game, so I already know so many of the new additions by name only. And while I could easily pick them out when they showed up, even before introductions, I knew very little beyond that and so still enjoyed learning more and more about each of them in turn. I wasn’t expecting this to be a multiple POV book - for whatever reason - but I adjusted quickly and found myself looking forward to certain characters in particular.
Per usual with the Maas books, the audiobook narrator was phenomenal. 🎧
