I waited waaaaaay too long after Book 4 before starting this one and spent a fair amount of time looking everything up on the Throne of Glass Wiki to reacquaint myself with the characters and the story. Aelin‰ЫЄs journey has been epic, but I stand by what I‰ЫЄve said in previous reviews that she should be older by now, and more than just a year since book 1 should have passed.
