is this the book where everyone starts to hate chaol or was it before? cause i feel like he's FINE?? yeah he fights with aelin and makes some bad decisions/has bad reactions to things, but so does every other character. i think chaol's loyalty and devotion to dorian and just how strong their friendship is really shines in this book, cause you can tell how DISTRAUGHT chaol is the entire time thinking about dorian. plus he just straight up starts sobbing when he sees dorian is okay 😭 i love them
WHEN are rowan and aelin gonna fuck. STOP TEASING ME!!!
lysandra was a surprising but lovely addition, she seems super different and i am So Glad she had the honor of 🔪 that bitch (also maybe this is morbid of me, but i would have to liked to read that letter wesley wrote, i'm curious as to what arobynn ordered be done to sam 😔) oh and a short story about lysandra and wesley's lil romance? i would love that please write it queen
manon is Much Bitchier this book and i HATE that she was being mean to asterin, but she lowkey had the most character development out of anyone by the end!! everybody realizing that blind loyalty is NAWT the way

Epic world building. Love the elaborate plans for revenge, the small elements of friendship and hope. Team Rowan.

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.
