I was able to enjoy her storyline only when I was midway because at first I wasn’t really interested in her story. The other thing that I wasn’t the biggest fan of was Manon. Even when a character isn’t saying something, the others are always able to figure out what they are hiding or thinking by simply connecting dots that aren’t obvious or clear to the reader. When there is a mystery, I get the feeling that it is worked out too easily and quickly. The first one is that everything seems too simple at times. On the other hand, there were two things that didn’t meet my taste. Not to mention when, at the end, she gives Maeve a show of her power! I had chills all over my body and I cannot wait to see if it will be able to improve more than that Seeing her finally come to terms with her past and, at the same time, being able to use her magic freely and in control felt very satisfying. His character arc was definitely interesting, even though I preferred Aelin’s one.

I have really enjoyed his character and how he changed since the first time he met Aelin. I was so happy every time he was on the scene and his interactions with Aelin were always so funny and at times so deep. Well, what can I say, I’d like to add him to my list of fictional crushes of this series. But what captured completely my attention was Rowan. Wendlyn is for sure an interesting land and I was very curious about the demi-Fae and their queen Maeve. Let’s see why.įirst of all, I loved that I was finally able to see something new about this world. Even with this novel I had a good time while diving into Aelin’s world and her adventures, but I had some ups and downs along the way.

Right now, I am exactly in the middle of the series with four books read and four more left. Here we are with another review about a novel by Sarah J. The king’s assassin takes on an even greater destiny and burns brighter than ever before in this follow-up to the New York Times bestselling Crown of Midnight. To defeat them, Celaena must find the strength to not only fight her inner demons but to battle the evil that is about to be unleashed. Meanwhile, brutal and monstrous forces are gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. Now she must travel to a new land to confront her darkest truth… a truth about her heritage that could change her life-and her future-forever.

Synopsis (from Goodreads): Celaena Sardothien has survived deadly contests and shattering heartbreak-but at an unspeakable cost.
