Fun fact: I almost didn’t finish this book. I got about 40 pages in, had it up to my knuckles with Aelin’s moodiness, and put the book down, determined not to pick it up again if I had to read an entire book’s worth of her PMS-ing and being all haughty about it.
But I did end up returning to it, and I found some very enjoyable things: 1) the developing dynamic between our growing team of characters, including Aedion and Lysandra; 2) the growing tension and changing relationship between Rowan and Aelin; 3) how Aelin’s two worlds are finally converging and how more pieces are finally starting to come together (especially in the Assassin’s Keep); 4) everything about Manon, the Blackbeaks, and the wyverns and how those pieces are starting to connect.
It’s an eventful book, even if it mainly serves as the transition book to Empire of Storms, as the set-up for a bigger battle and much higher stakes. Don’t let Aelin’s terrible attitude turn you off, because there are a lot of other things you won’t want to miss out on in this book, if you can just tolerate her.
