this book was INSANE to say the least!!!!!!!! they say the last 100 pages of any sjm book are gonna be crazy, but the last 20 pages?!?!?!
sorscha!!!! and dorian’s wyrdstone collar from the king!!!!! and chaol fleeing the castle!!!!!!
this was such a fantastic journey, i loved seeing celeana grow into her abilities, and to see her and rowan’s relationship grow and soften into such dedication to each other; i was so happy when he immediately
got out of his blood oath with maeve just to make a new one with celeana right in front of her LOL
!!!! my only gripe is that they had so many scenes together where celeana was like damn he’s got muscles i lowkey wanna hit that to distract myself from chaol…….then she was like “let’s go see our aunt 🤓☝🏻” before they met with maeve in doranelle and i was like OUR aunt……babygirl……..!!!!!!! i really like them as close friends and i’m scared sjm is setting up a romance between the two of them, and while i love their banter and friendship i cannot ignore that they are (albeit distantly) related. other than that i literally could not put this book down and bought queen of shadows before i even finished it so i can continue with my throne of glass read right away, then onto the tandem read!!! this was such a five star read for me, the last 20 pages really sealed the deal, even if i had to take some breaks in the last 100 pages (watching the presidential debate, petting my cats, drinking a half gallon of mango green tea, you know the vibes).
