this book WRECKED me. it’s been awhile since a book had me crying ugly tears (snot bubbles & all). i was surprised at what exactly brought those tears on.
i loved this book despite its length and often vivid descriptions of gore. this definitely should be presented with a content warning so that others have a chance to fully understand what they’re getting into prior to picking it up. i understand the point of it (kind of) but there could have been less IMO.i really didn’t need close to a quarter of the book to contain vivid descriptions of aelin’s torture and time locked in what was essentially a coffin
while i have some
gripes this is absolutely a 5 star read thanks to the emotions it elicited. it was worth the slow start of the series and the slower starts to each book to make it here.
