5.0

My only complaint for this book was that Aelin was separated from Rowan initially. However this made for a perfect reuniting-her running into his arms *swoon* I was floored so many times in this book. Lysandra not only a good guy but also a shape shifter. Chaol actually being able to admit he's wrong, let down his pride, and be a team player. Color me shocked because I did not expect that to happen. Chaol redeemed himself slightly for me in this book. Don't even get me started on Manon and Dorian 🔥. I really hope we see more of them in upcoming books. I love how SJM writes Arlin's character. She is meticulous (SJM and Aelin) the fast that her plans are orchestrated so far in advance is amazing.
