I’m rereading the series for the first time and I’m so annoyed that I’m a Chaolaena shipper this time around. I’ve been officially and completely softened towards Chaol, he’s not as bad as I remember and I’m genuinely wondering what I was thinking when it came to him. Obvs I loved Chaol after ToD but before reading that I did not like him at all but he’s such a quietly playful baby in this book and got her the amethyst ring SO much earlier than I remembered. Do I still feel stupid sad and achy about Dorian? Yes. Is Dorian still my number one?! Without a doubt I’m on my knees for that man still.

Anyways, book one was just as impactful to me as before—if not more so. Because it’s a reread I’ve been reading a lot more carefully than I did the first time and highlighting possible multiverse connections. The scene with Chaol telling Celaena to “get up” is always and forever one of my favorite scenes—not just in this series but of all time. It’s a theme we see mirrored in all the books moving forward.

Also there was A LOT of mentioning of “roses” in this book but I don’t have a theory as to why yet or just stating a fact lmao The obvious being its connection Acotar. But it could also be absolutely nothing. Regardless I’ve never seen it mentioned by anyone before and thought I’d throw it out there. I missed this series so much, so glad it’s already just as great as I remember 🥲 and gods know it only gets between from here onwards.
