The queen has returned.
Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past…
She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.
She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return.

My Thoughts
This is the 4th Book of the series and after Heir of fire my expectations were not high, but this book is better than Heir of fire.
“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”
Alien Ashrvyer Galathynius is back to claim her kingdom, Alien is much better than Celaena, She is mature, she thinks before the act, Wendlyn put a good impact on her.If I’ll talk about the story, again the story was good with typical SJM twists.
While reading it half of me was like try it you’ll end up liking Manon and Co and other half was like the hell I’d do(I am inspired by Aedion here), After halfway through the book her story got somehow better and until the end Yeah, I am rooting for Manon and Dorian.
It really made my heart raw when there wasn’t any option but to kill Dorian. Chaol is one of the Best best friends one can have. After everything he is always there for Dorian, ending scenes of Chaol and Dorian they were just amazing(I wanted to cry) and Chaol deserves a happy ending with Nesryn or with anyone I don’t care.
Lysandra is becoming my favourite from this series her character development is amazing, I literally hate her in other books but NO girl she got her own secrets and really good one.
Aiden, Wolf of North, he is also my favourite, what the hell there is not to like in his character? I don’t want a complete spoiler but Please just say he and Lysandra will end up together.
For Rowan, I have unpopular opinion I didn’t like him with Alien, Though I started to like him little bit individually My opinion is Influenced by Rhysand(he met his mate after 500 years after that he didn’t bother to look at the other), while Rowan already had a mate who died, so it is possible to find two mates?or it is that Carannam thing? (I couldn’t digest him with Alien, Don’t hate me).
“Whatever you had to do to survive, whatever you did from spite or rage or selfishness … I don’t give a damn. You’re here—and you’re perfect. You always were, and you always will be.”
Elide, She suffered enough, she desrves a home, a place in court, and Happiness. and hoping her character got a few twists in her pocket.
“Sometimes there won’t be a right choice, just the best of several bad options.”
And now I am started to develop the interest in Manon’s storyline so Hope so next book will be 5 stars.
Ratings .25
P.s I am taking break from this series, I’ll read the rest of two books+the last book which is going to release this year together.
This Series is good but not anywhere near to ACOTAR Series.
Happy Reading
