My god, these books get better and better (and longer!)! This series is definitely a commitment, given the length of the series, but it is so worth it!

I’m not going to go into too much detail about the plot, because that would make this spoilers central, to be honest, but all you need to know is that it was brilliant. 

Aelin continues to be my favourite character of the series, possibly of all time. Honestly, who else could be so cocky and full of it, and get away with it like she does? She’s brilliant!

Chaol got on my last nerve in this book, but the characters are honestly what make this series for me. From Rowan and Aedion, Lysandra and Evangeline, Manon and Elide, I just love the them! 

Overall, I can’t wait to continue rereading this series, especially tandem reading Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn.
