OMG I just love how the leading ladies in TOG just get more badass with every page. Aelin is so sassy and full of sarcasm, she might be my spirit animal. During so many moments, I ended laughing out loud because of her.
So Rowaelin is finally happening (or getting there) and I am so excited. I am not a romance reader, but I spent the entire book waiting for them to get together.
It also seems, I not the only Rowan fan. Aedion is fangirling so hard, it's almost ridiculous. I love it!
Furthermore, I am rooting for Manon more and more with every chapter. She's just too awesome. I bet everything that she ends up saving the day!
By the way, we also get some rather interesting new addition to the cast. I'm not sure yet what to make of Elide but Lorcan is down for trouble and I can't wait to see where that ends.
