This is probably a controversial opinion, but I didn’t enjoy this one as much as the others! I had a hard time staying interested and invested in the story. A lot of it felt like filler and was unnecessary. Idk, maybe my expectations were too high, but I found it to be kinda boring :(
Also the ending was cool with the kingsflame blooming n all, but idk, it was kinda anticlimactic imo… the biggest let down was Aelin’s arc… like throughout the series she is our heroine and a certified bad ass, but in this book its like she barely got to do anything and she’s the one that basically loses it all. How is that fair to her?? She def deserves a better storyline than that.
