A good amount of fluff could have been edited out but the character development is solid.
Devoting an entire book on side characters is an interesting move that mostly paid off.

I particularly like that these stories start to pull together the threads that have been weaving away since the prequel without it feeling contrived or forced. The only trouble is, it does require you to have a fairly good memory of the earlier books - not great when you're borrowing them from the library and are having to wait weeks between each one. I'm definitely going to have to reread these as a job lot as and when I actually get around to buying them!
I enjoyed the continuing development of the relationship between Aelin and Rowan, and as usual the author doesn't disappointed when resolving the UST! But at the same time I hope she keeps the heat in their relationship, especially given the ending!
On the other hand, I'm finding myself to be disappointed in Chaol. From the romantic hero he appeared to be at the outset, he now seems to come across as quite changeable and not as 'deep' a person as I had expected. His change in this story seems very rushed and I just can't be comfortable with the ending. But I guess we'll see what happens in the finale! Very hopeful it'll prove me wrong and change my mind!
There are a lot of moving parts in this now, but I think the author managed to juggle them all really well; even with the introduction of a multitude of new characters, it was very easy to follow the trajectory of each person's individual story and how they all intertwined. But equally there are a few nice twists and turns in here which keep the momentum and the engagement high.
Thank goodness the library has delivered the last in ther series today, so I can jump straight in! Looking forward to it!!
