You will find, Rolfe, that one does not deal with Celaena Sardolthien. One survives her.
Yes, I am trying to survive her until the next installment of this awesome series. Many tears were shed as I read this book. This is it -- preparation for the end. This book is really intense at times, and so full of emotion. I was really overwhelmed at the end. In my heart, I know SJM will have this end well, but sitting and waiting for it to happen will be difficult.
It is not such hard thing, is it -- to die for your friends.
One thing I love about both SJM series is that her MCs have fantastic squads. Aelin has Aedion, Lysandra, Rowen, Dorian, and more (these were some of the best surprises). The way they cared for each other, fought for each other, would die for each other. Definite friend goals.
You are my Fireheart
This is the book, where Maas allowed many of her characters to come into their own, to claim their rightful place in the story. Lysandra hinted to her greatness in the last book, but here, we are treated to Lysandra full on. This version of Lysandra is incredible. That bond of friendship between her and Aelin solidifies and she goes above and beyond for her queen. And hey, if you the naysayers are not won over by Rowen in this book, I don't know what to say. He is just perfection in this book.
Even when this world is a forgotten whisper of dust between the stars, I will love you.
Seriously, are you swooning yet!!
There were so many big reveals, my head was spinning. SJM's mind must be quite a wondrous place to be able to plan out so many different paths, that would eventually converge. I loved it! I will patiently wait for the next book, while my heart mends. Here's hoping this ends well.
I will find you, I will find you, I will find you.
