bruh that was crazy. I know i keep saying it but I love all these characters most specifically the ones in this book. The Rowan and Aelin-ness wasnt AS good in this book but still love them. I am a big fan lowkey of all three of the other couples in this book tho… LOVE Aedion and Lysandra of course, love Dorian and Manon even tho it’s a very random pairing i REALLY like them, and lowkey love Elide and Lorcan… I am a fan of these really random pairings but they work so well together. I enjoyed all the plots between these characters in this book, none of them really had “the boring” part. I was shook about Nehemiah and how she always knew Celeana was actually Aelin… WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. Ummmm so yeah the end killed me with Aelin. I was DEVISTATED with her getting whipped that HURT and pls get her back pls. Don’t die Aelin. I loved how she gathered EVERYONE, that was beautiful. Lowkey tho I know this ain’t a romance book but we could have got more from Rowan and Aelin, like I know the wedding was supposed to be a suprise later but WE MISSED IT. And the pregnancy convo that was established but we never actually got the convo.
