The reason I loved this book was actually other characters. First, Yrene. She and Chaol made sense, sure. But she's still too good for that chucklehead.
I knew that Nesryn was too good for Chaol even before and this book ensured me. And Sartaq. My lovely, brave, stupidly in love with Nesryn Sartaq. I freakin' love him. His crush on Nesryn long before meeting her was heartbreakingly good. I went "Aw" so many times.
Borte and Hasar just HAVE TO meet Aelin. Especially Hasar would love Aelin (at least, after a while). I think Borte would stress Aedion all the time like Aelin does. And I think Aedion and Sartaq would like each other very much.
I already cannot wait for Falkan and Lysandra to meet. When I realized that Falkan was related to Lysandra, I was so happy. Damn you, Maas for getting me all invested in all these characters. And making Chaol bearable.
I'm already anxious about the Kingdom of Ash. But I'm starting the book immediately at the same time.

It’s the perfect breather, for how intense this series has been to this point. A romantic, emotionally deep, healing journey. And told from the point of view of Chaol, a character that I damn near forgot about. If you had told me when I started this series, that a one-off book told from a random side character’s point of view would a: hold my interest, and b: leave me feeling so invested, I never would have believed it.
But this book is just! So incredible! I really felt every emotion, and I am ready to get back to Aelin and the others, I’m ready for them to save the world, now!
Let’s go!
