Welllll, this book was a little different to the other 4.
I just didn’t really enjoy this book very much, which is soooo disappointing!
I mean, I did like it, but it was a huge let down after the last 4 books, especially its predecessor, Queen of Shadows, which was so good!
I found myself skimming a lot of the scenes that didn’t have much dialogue because, well, they just weren’t relevant. I honestly think this book could’ve not existed, and the series could’ve just ended with a different 5th book.
One of my favourite aspects of this series is the characters, and even they couldn’t redeem this book for me. In fact, I really didn’t like any characters in this book.
I have no idea what happened to them all? But um, they aren’t the ones I love, come back please?
I also feel like a lot of this book was focused on Elide, and that kind of sucked. Although interesting, I found maybe 30% of the book to actually be about our “main” characters.
Oh, and literally the ONLY scenes (well most of them) that Aelin and Rowan were in, were eh, gross love scenes. Like, where did the adventure and bad-ass team go? uh.
Anyway, although it seems like I’m bashing the entire book, I did like it, it was just plain weird. It almost felt like it was a completely different series? Oh, I don’t know, I’m confused haha. Don’t even know what to think of this.
Now to wait for the next book, which is a confusion in itself, you’ll know what I’m talking about if you’re up to date with this series! But for now, I’m so happy I can read something other than marathoning this series! (even if it has been good!)
