I've fallen in love... If you've read Cassandra Clare and adored the Seelie & Unseelie court like me, enjoyed the feeling of that place... You have to read The folk of air series! The plot is political but not too blindly (I don't like politics in real life, this equals the levels of Throne of glass but the focus is slightly stronger on the scheming). If you love Aelin, you must like Jude too - she's a total beast and I adore her. The enemies to lovers subplot is wickedly sold on me. This book is YA, the darkness and plot are sooo catchy - highly recommend diving into this world
when she put the dagger to his throat and kissed him I nearly screamed + the poisoning herself, getting rid of Valerian? Madness but also badassery at its finest. I love how she's quick to treason for those she loves and protects!/
