I went into this book with so many theories and scenarios that I was honestly shocked that it didn’t pan out that way - this was not at all what I expected (and not because it was bad OH NO but because it was refreshing to be shocked beyond belief so many times since most book twists nowadays seem so predictable).
I have a lot to say and a massive number of feelings so let’s dive in:
About 90% of my theories were wrong for this book. The only thing I was on the money on was Aria being pregnant and that Aurora was a lying bitch who was never for a moment was not thinking of herself. The fact Aria’s sisters knew of the horror that she dealt with as a child and the fact she isn’t their sister really puts things into perspective. I am glad Aria let go of that responsibility to protect them and no longer has to put herself in danger to keep them safe.
Aurora is revealed to being Aria's mother. Freya was Amara's mother, but Amara's twin died in the womb, while Aria ate her twin in the womb so they figured they could trick everyone. It's insane.
Knox is and will always be the most tortured MC I have ever read. I hated him in book 1-3 to the point where I loved him even more because I knew he would end up on her side and being who I knew he could be. However, with that being said I genuinely thought (especially with how Book 3 ended) he would be horrible again in this book and treat her with utter disrespect BUT Amelia once again brilliantly twisted that into him coming to terms on his own from page 1 - 100% no longer wishing her harm from himself or anyone else and no longer wishes to be her enemy nor her villain.
The fact he spent more time in the book (whenever he physically could) saying he just wanted to hold her was beautiful and showed his growth. He stands by her and will be the shield to protect her. Also let’s not forget his constant need to be WORTHY of her. Holy 180 Batman.
He was HEXED - to forever mourn his wife/son and so was the entire kingdom. Celia also placed things in his custom-made chest to hex him from feeling emotions other than anger etc. Glad he killed Celia. It didn’t hurt when Gideon died as we never got to know him like we do with the other guys. Celia was working with the witches and was being ''blackmailed'' to keep herself on their good side, which resulted in a bunch of shit happening because of her. She is the reason that Liliana died after Sven died, she removed the necklace from her neck and that was the cause of her death. She was just a horrible person, and I am glad that her fate was sealed in this book. I could NOT deal with anymore of her. ALSOOOOO you know how she said and Knox believed they had slept together? It was a LIE - she made it up and Killian proved it was false. Thank fuck.
The daughters they never got to have truly broke me. I figured she was pregnant in COC but I never really expected her to lose them. Knox’s dedication to them was such a tender moment. The honor he gave them was breathtaking.
Two of my favorite lines in the book are from Knox:
“I’ll breath for you, if you’ll let me, I’ll do it for you Aria” &
“Don’t add your name to my ghost”
''You are the flames to my soul''
