"To Whatever End."

This book was amazing!

Celaena Sardothien aka Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. Embarks on her journey to Wendylnn her distant relatives to kill the king and his son. Minor Spoiler:

That quickly ends up not happeing;)

she is taken by a mysterious Fae individual named Rowan. To which she is to train with him in order to fulfill her part of a bargin with her wicked Fae aunt Meave.
While meanwhile Choal and Dorian, continue on without Celaena after the events of COM. We are introduced to some new characters and some of them have connections to Terrasen. Such as Alein's cousin Aedion, and at least two others.
While Dorian's part in the story is mostly in the castle, and introduces a new side charcter. That has been in the past books.
Also, Choal might be the most indecisive charcter EVER.
Then we are introduced to the witches of Blackbeak and the three other covans. Manon Blackbeak and her thirteen, and how they will impact the story. Minor spoiler:

with thier impact as witches and how they will be the kings aerial army through the weveryns.

Overall, lots of characters/ world building are added into this book, and LOTS of character growth expecilly with Alein. We get a lot of her past, and what happened prior before her ten years as Celaena Sardothien.

I love how this series just keeps building!! Every detail is important. It’s soooo well written. It always surprises me when someone or something I thought wasn’t important is, or the other way around. I liked how Thai book felt like it was kind of a preparation book for the next book, although to some this may feel like you are just getting through the training part to get to the real battle I really just love seeing how Celaena’s character is changing and growing. I also loved the new relationships in this book!

I cried reading this book. The story is great and i loved the characters. The POVs change but it’s great. Typical for a Sarah J. Maas book: the last 100 pages everything’s on fire.

Why did Sorscha have to die. What happened to Petrahs Wyvern is so sad. So many bad things happened but it was also funny omg. The end was so so hurtful to read. Ngl, Chaols POVs are kinda boring. I pray that Aedion meets Aelin. The moment between Maeve and Aelin was soo savage (with the citizens not being out of stone). And what happened to Dorian… it broke my heart so much…

Amazing!! I devoured this book and I can’t wait for the next one. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed following every perspective and am so excited to see where these characters go from here.

Almost perfect. I just felt like some of the POV’s just made it drag horribly. But overall my favorite book in the series by far
