literatureaesthetic 's review for:

Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
4.0

4.5 Stars ☆☆☆☆.5

“They joined hands.
So the world ended.
And the next one began.” 

Aelin is back in Rifthold, but this time she's no ones slave. She returns to seek revenge on those who have wronged her, including her former master, the King of Assassins. To fight for her kingdom and her friends, Celaena Sardothien intends to wreak revenge for a decade of pain.

I have a lot of emotions. As I was reading this book, I was convinced it was a 4 star read, but honestly... THAT ENDING! The last 60 pages of this book were so intense and gripping, I think I squealed at least twice. Aelin's return to Rifthold is everything I could've asked for, the only reason this isn't 5 stars is that I did think there were parts that dragged a little too much? I think some parts were quite boring (please don't kill me, I did rate it 4.5 stars which is almost the same thing
