Unfortunately, I can't give this book a full 5 stars because the first half is quite a bit boring. But the second half makes up for it tenfold.
I love how strong Aelin has become. The part about her nurse made had me in tears, no child should go through such horrors. She is such a powerful, wonderful FMC, and I can't wait to see how er character continues to grow throughout the series.
And last, but not least, the Aedion/Dorian/Chaol section... Absolutely has me in an anxious wreck. They better survive or else I stg.
Cannot wait to start QoS! Getting through CoM for this was absolutely worth it!!!

This book was written in four pov’s which was different for me as I am use to either one or two pov’s. I found it challenging at first to get use to the switching of characters but I eventually got sucked into the story and how the chapters blended together.
I enjoyed the growing of all characters including Dorian’s, Chaol’s and Celeana’s. And enjoyed meeting new characters such as Sorcha, Aedion, Rowen, Emrys, Luca & Malakai.
The growing stories and personalities of each character was beautiful written that makes you feel like you knew them personally.
There was a few scenes of animal cruelty that I just didn’t like reading which is why I downrated this book.
But as the story progressed you saw a change in each character, how each character is a puzzle piece fitting together for the big plot that I know will be coming soon!
Then of course you have the sweet moments that make my heart happy or laugh 😂
As I got to the end things started to heat up. There was a lot of action/tense moments but of course very emotional moments too. I was not prepared for the emotional ending with so much happened all at once. I know Sarah has a reputation to hurt us all (and I know worse will probably come) but couldn’t she had spaced out the emotional ending/cliffhanger 😅
Either way I am excited to see how the rest of the series goes x
