Sarah J. Maas's global #1 bestselling THRONE OF GLASS series reaches new heights in this sweeping fourth instalment.
Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. Now she returns to the empire - to confront the shadows of her past ...
Bloodthirsty for revenge on the two men responsible for destroying her life, and desperate to find out if the prince and his captain are safe, Celaena returns to Rifthold. She has accepted her identity as Aelin Galathynius, the lost Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, there are dark truths to learn and debts to be paid. Aelin must stay hidden beneath her assassin's hood and draw on her mortal strength as Celaena to prevent the King of Adarlan from tearing her world apart. Only then can she fight for her people.
Readers will be held rapt as Celaena's story builds to an agonising crescendo, packed with heart-pounding action and searing romance.
Oh, how I loved this book, even though some parts of it were utter nonsense. What happened to Chaol and Aelin? I already heard about Aelin and Rowan becoming a thing, yet I liked them so much more as friends. They aren't bad together, just not as good as Chaol and Aelin. I missed them.
I did not understand their fight. I understood why Chaol felt the way he did, but why had Aelin changed so much? She wanted to kill Dorian. She was ready for it, and if Chaol hadn't given orders to stop her, he would have been dead. Not like I would mind that, but it didn't feel like Celaena / Aelin.
Despite these things, I really loved this book. It was action-packed, had plot twists, which I really missed in the last books since they always were pretty obvious, and finally, everything came together and made sense. I loved it. I feel as if this book took the series to a whole new level. The previous books were interesting, a nice concept, and a fun read, but this book made it actually a very good series that I will probably always remember.
My only hope is that Aelin and Chaol can become friends again like they should have been this book. Without the nonsense of them fighting over nothing. If that happens, I am okay with Aelin and Rowan being together.
