it’s later:
honestly reading these back to back i can’t remember what was heir of fire and what was queen of shadows, but i’m gonna try my best. in the last one i struggled to care about the witches at all, and the first 3/4 i thought were very slow. this one definitely moved a lot faster from the beginning. i did start to care about the witches in this one, but like i said it took me until the last quarter to really care about that whole story line. all of the books before this one felt like exposition and this one actually had some action in it. i gave it such a high rating because i really was engaged and didn’t want to stop reading basically the whole time. (except the witch chapters, i’d usually use those as a stopping point)

Before that however I really enjoyed this book. It felt like many pieces that have been dispersed through all of the books before had finally come together. There is a clear picture of the current state of the world, the next ste of problems, and who is going to be facing those problems.
We were able to accompany the characters on journeys of discovery and confronting who they were and who they want to be. And for some of these folks, thank god it finally happened because I have been waiting for it since the first book. I do think that things worked out a little too nicely in some cases, so interesting to see if that plays out for the remainder of the series.
This book does cross some uncomfortable lines in terms of relationships leaning romantic/sexual when they shouldn’t. Nothing explicit ever happens but weird atmospheres are certainly created.

The second Rowan came back I literally squealed! Their reunion is hands down one of my favourite scenes in the whole Throne of Glass series. Also one of the most insane moments was when Arobynn put the ring on Aelin I almost lost my mind when I read that scene. You see what I mean about a Rollercoaster! Also Kaltain's death made me so sad I felt very bad for her to be used and exploited. It makes me sick.
