I read this as a tandem read with tower of dawn and, wow.
SJM really demonstrates her absolute, flawless ability to create slow-burning intrigue in this one. The plot twists, surprises and reveals were ALL so details, thoroughly thought out and perfectly written.
As usual, the start was a little slow but once things started kicking off, in true SJM style, they started KICKING OFF!!

The first time I read this book I read it on its own. This time I decided to do tandem read it with Tower of Dawn, and that was an excellent decision! There are aspects of this book that I appreciated more on a reread, and knowing how it would end made the last few chapters that much harder to read. I still don’t love Aelin’s inability to discuss her plans with anyone in her court, but it’s definitely less annoying the second time around. 4 stars.
