I don't even know where to begin... I feel like this book just sets the tone for the second half of the series. I finished this book in 2 days and could not put it down it was so good. I loved every twist and introduction to new characters or development in the current characters. I am not going to say much more other than in my spoiler texts so onto the tandem read I go!

I AM SO HAPPY AROBYNN IS DEAD!!!!! I wish he died a more brutal and slow death but it was still very fitting and also amazing that he died under the hand of someone he didn't suspect. God I hated him. So happy with the development between Rowan and Aelin, I am a huge sucker for tension. I can't wait to see more of them! Lastly, it is so WACK that Perrington is actually the one in charge... I knew something was coming if they planned to kill the king but damn.
