Okay wow. This took me longer than I expected, but much of it was because I knew I was facing heartbreak. 

Ultimately, the heartbreak was worth it. The end definitely felt like the calm before the storm, and I low-key feel just a teeny bit bad for Chaol’s legs. But yay Dorian is back!!!!

I loved the revelation of Kaltain and Lysandra (who is now my favorite), and am chocked at the last info about Lorcan hunting Elide. Also Manon’s turnaround?! Let’s go!! 

And the tension between Aelin and Rowan… yummy. Let’s go.
