Gods be damned, this book absolutely broke me. The beginning felt like I was wading through murky waters, lost in a sea of information and even being mislead as a reader from certain plots until the very end. Very well written, and that ending is and ending I will not forget any time soon. Aelin’s sacrifices, her plots, so much she kept hidden from her loved ones and ourselves as readers. A truly unreliable narrator. The truths revealed in the end truly cleaves me open into devastation. Everything absolutely ties together neatly like a perfectly destructive blow to your already hopeful heart. The only thing that continues my hope is the path these characters are taking into setting things right. A beautiful read.

If I read the word ‘rutting’ one more time, I swear I’ll vomit my guts up. Also, this book could have been way shorter, except for its brutal cliffhanger ending - did I just read the equivalent of a filler episode? Also, Elide and Lorcan’s little side quest became the only thing pulling me through. Too much fighting sequences in one go, maybe? I might need a break before moving on to the next book in the series.

This has been my favorite in the series BY FAR. I did the tandem read, which I highly recommend. I’m so excited to

see how Aelin gets out of her containment from Maeve, and how the rest of her cadre does while she’s captured. I also can’t wait to see Nesryn and Chaol (and their Ruk army) get used to the rest of the group and find their place in getting Aelin back. We were so close to having everyone together 😭 Will Aelin make it?! I remain unsure. 😫
