Other note: I just cannot buy in on Celaena/Aelin being the strong female protagonist that everyone says she is. I find her selfish, vapid, annoying, and hypocritical, with no ability to understand nuance or see a bigger picture outside herself. A 19-year-old will not make a strong queen. And I know (I've seen this film before) she and Rowan are mates, so don't even get me started on that.
I sincerely hope she gains perspective in the next book
