I really loved Rowan and Aelin’s relationship and felt it was a nice change of pace compared to her past relationships in the books so far. 

I’m sooooo irritated that Soracha died, Aedion and Dorian have been captured, and yet Chaol gets to leave to find her???? Chaol sucks, like he is actively the person I care least about and now he’s in charge of saving them????? Can’t wait to see how that goes bc it’s giving redemption arc.

Though full of tropes and a healthy dose of one-dimensional thinking, I enjoyed this book so much. I’m fully hooked on this series now, especially with the introduction of new characters and more plot development and world-building. What a fun read, with great twists and stakes.
