Did I understand a single thing that happened in this book? No. Did I enjoy every second of it? Yes.

Spoiler

That ending was so predictable. If 1+1=2, then of course Celaena is Aelin… Idk why Chaol reacted like that at the end tbh.

Also, speaking of Chaol, his and Celaena’s romance felt so forced. I much preferred her with Dorian (please give him another chance 😪). Their relationship just felt like another plot device that was created to keep the story ‘interesting.’ Did I still eat up their scenes together? Of course I bloody did. 

All those things about the Wyrdkeys went straight over my fat head. I have no clue what’s going on but I loved it. I rated it lower than TOG because I didn’t enjoy it as much.

I enjoyed the slow world building of the first half of the book, but I absolutely loved all the twists and turns of the second half. Although I did know the major twist at the end (thanks to this book series so popular for years) it didn’t take away from the details (which I didn’t know about). The last 20% of this book had my heart racing! It’s going to take me a while to recover from this...!

• This is where people start to hate Chaol (I think? I don't remember)

• I am not one of the above mentioned

• I don't remember what this book was about

• Celeana (is this correct?) white savior complex

Spoiler

• Nehemia: Black character, killed off (Sorscha too) 

• The additional star is for Chaolena because I love Chaol
