I could not put this book down! Omg! It was sooooo good!!! 
Watching Aelin become who she was always meant to be & fight for her loved ones & what is right, is inspiring! The growth she has had since book 1 is in incredible! 
And the bromance between Chaol & Dorian is like my favorite bromance ever! Coming in second only to my bat boys. 
All the characters have incredible growth in this book! & I could go on about how much I love them all, but then this will get really long, so I won’t. 
But my favorite character is Rowan! & having him not being in the first third of the book gave me serious withdrawal! My heart just leaped out of my chest when he finally showed up! I was so ecstatic! I can’t wait to read more of him, & more of his relationship with Aelin! My heart! 💜

"Do you believe monsters are born, or made?"

5 ⭐️

There is just so much that happens in this book that makes it hard for me to wrap my head round all of it, but it probably makes this one my favourite of the lot. Just gives me a whole lot of feelings.

This quote also hits home:

"We're not whores for your men to use."
"You are sacred vessels," the duke said. "It is an honor to be chosen?”
"I find that a very male thing to assume."

TWs: torture, ableism, murder, detailed depictions of violence, human trafficking
