"we live in a world where good kings die and those foolish enough to hope for something better are killed where they stand."

i quite literally could NOT put this book down, and i love when this happens, because this book was good. i'll admit, the prologue made me want to dnf it a little, but i was intrigued enough to keep going and honestly i'm so glad i did because this book delivered.

at first, i thought it was going to be some wacky time travel thing and i was thinking how the heck that was going to work, but it wasn't and i was pleasantly surprised with the turn this took and what happened. it's split into dual povs, and usually this annoys me because there's always one pov where it's like "oh great it's this person again", but honestly each storyline kept me gripped and i don't even think there was a dual chapter. the pacing was amazing.

i would definitely continue this series, however my tbr (and wallet) are YELLING at me to not buy anymore books, so i'll listen until i've read a few more and then i'll splurge out on the two sequels.

i really loved the world building and the magic in this book and everything surrounding Rielle’s story. i kinda disliked Eliana at times especially when she was randomly rude to people who absolutely did nothing to deserve that and i did not care for any of the couples.

3.0

if the book had 200-300 more pages to actually flesh out the characters, world, and plot more, it would've easily been a 5/5. Or even better, 2 different books that then converge/combine to make the rest of the series.

someone described it as 2 aelin's (from tog), so yay. but it's more like 1 aelin and 1 celaena (if celaena was unable to make up her mind and was a hypocrite.)

the big "plot twist" doesn't happen until 70%? so i get why people are voting medium pace. But with that being said, i have never wanted a book to slow down more. as i said, would have been so much better as 2 books or even just if it was a bit longer. the constant switching between characters and timelines is a lot. on top of that, chapters are short, so as soon as i was invested in one timeline, we're back to the other one.

also the plot twist is obvious if you think about it, but

the only thing stopping it from being obvious is the 1,000 year jump.

Honestly I really enjoyed this one and will definitely be continuing with the series. It took me awhile to get into the book because the beginning was a bit slow and then the animal death scene towards the beginning was very graphic and difficult for me to listen to. But once the paced picked up and I made sense of some things that had confused me at first I was very hooked.

I am not overly attached to either of the main girls to be honest but their stories still managed to intrigue me. While the romances did provide me some sexy inspiring quotes I could care less about them. The only one I'd care to see more of is Rielle and Corien but that's mostly because Corien is interesting to me and I want to see how his story plays out.
