See allThis book was sooo good!
I was glad to find out that Meyer stepped back up with this one and brought us so much goodness! Scarlet is however unfortunately still as boring as the last book. There's much potential with her and her storyline, especially since she and Wolf share such a burning love for each other. But, blah! Everyone have more interesting chapters than her.
Cress was such a cutie! She's a fangirl and very socially awkward, but oh so cute! I hope all ends well for her! Not sure if I agree with Dr. Erland though. Even if Thorne is my favourite and totally Chris Hemsworth in my mind, oh so perfect! Then I'm not sure if I think Cress and the Captain suit each other. I want Captain Thorne to end up with Iko instead. I see more chemistry between them.
And I love, love, loved having more chapters with Kai in this book! And everything's starting to unravel! Every secret, every closed door! Eeeeeep! Finally Kai knows everything! And I just.... puddle of goo
Yeah, well. Thumbs up!!
Wow! All the characters have come a long way, but in this book my heart goes out to Lysandra! She've had such an amazing journey from when she was first introduced and in this book she really got to shine! Especially in her shape shifting scenes and all the miles she's willing to go for her Queen!
Even if my heart went to Lysandra, all the characters in this book took my breath away! Manon, Elide and Lorcan, Aelin and Rowan (and everyone else I'm not mentioning). All of their stories have played out amazingly through these books and Sarah J. Maas have woven such a wonderful adventure for us to follow. I loved that we got to revisit old places and characters that we haven't met in a while. And you can really feel how the saga is steering towards it's end with so many questions getting answers and so many secrets getting revealed! I love this world and all it's magic and wonder! ♡
It seemd kind of fitting that I dreamt of this world and it's characters the whole night after I finished it.
Anyway, this was a very good book. It was easy to read and get in to. The characters where funny and I really liked all the banter. It was however difficult to take some of them seriously. The way they acted in their professions seemed way out of course. But hey, it's a work of fiction and who am I to criticize a well written trope.
I also have a hard time reading stories with love triangles. I hate it when my heart is being torn in different directions and I loved Dorian and Chaol equally. So I'll probably get sad over whoever ends up alone and heart broken. I hope I'll settle for a favourite in the next book. (I did however tend to lean toward Dorian in this book, he seemed more romancey while Chaol was a bit more brotherly. It kept changing all the time though and I just assume the next books will keep on with the heart tossing.)
But hey, let's talk about the fae mythos! I love, love, loved it! The simple mention of faries in the beginning, the history of Elena and Gavin and all the forgotten knowledge of the magic in the world! This is where this book is strongest! I just couldn't put it down and I want to know more of the kingdoms and all the secrets in the world~
