Love continuing to chart the growth and development of the characters. Felt like the magic system/general conflict got a bit looser/murkier. 

</I felt the horrific brutality of the cliffhanger was not in service of the plot or character development but will be happy to be proven wrong in the next installment. It just felt repetitive. Aelin has suffered! She has demonstrated feeling worthless and willing to sacrifice herself for her loved ones and Kingdom. I did not need this characterization graphically depicted AGAIN./>
