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

“You cannot pick and choose what parts of her to love.” He pitied Chaol he realized. His heart hurt for his friend, for all that Chaol had surely been realizing these past few months. “Just as you cannot pick which parts of me you accept."

Additionally, I felt the change in Rowan's character was ridiculously insincere. I couldn't reconcile that broody war hero with, for want of a better phrase, the eager-to-please puppy he was at the end.
