I think to give Queen of Shadows anything less than 5 stars would be a cardinal sin. Maybe that’s dramatic, I don’t care. The development of the overall story and characters is incredibly gripping, I don’t know how many time I was physically tensed up or tearing up over something I was reading. It’s touching, it’s hopeful, it’s also dark, sad, and makes you wonder how Aelin and her court are going to make it out of the mess. Let’s take a moment and appreciate Manon’s character development and the introduction of Elide, which I am very eager to see what their stories hold in the next few books. 
I have read TOG in the “Romantic” way. 
Going onto Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn as a tandem read. 
I do believe, so far, that Queen of Shadows has been my favorite book though.

There it is!!! It took about four books but the Throne of Glass Series has finally showed its SJM magic! I enjoyed the first few books but Queen of Shadows was everything I wanted from this story! It was fast paced, well written, characters are amazing, world building through the roof! I can't wait to see what comes next!

this was a lot better than the previous books of the series, and is by far my favorite so far. it was definitely slow in some parts but it was great getting so many POV’s and i can’t wait to see more. 

there was a lot of closure for some characters and storylines that also added to the adventure of the story. we also learned about the background of other characters that was always a twist and brought more suspense. 

a lot of characters had periods of growth where they were more than what they originally started as within the series, and made them really enjoyable characters. very much excited for the rest of the adventure.
