Isabella Beltran Well, I feel proud because I shipped Rowaelin before they were together instead of the other ships. Not to mention I love Rowan, and I think that Aelin will find a way to connect to Rowan's power and stay immortal with him or Rowan will find a way to stop being immortal (I hope it's the first idea), otherwise, I'll probably drown in my own tears as he stays young and watches her grow old and die.

Kait Lin Rowan is my favorite! I'm so over Chaol and Dorian.... Hope she doesn't pull an "Allegiant" if you know what i mean...

V_kuz7 ME TOO!!!!!! I really started to hate Chaol in the last books and I am just saying that I wouldn't particularly be upset if he died.

Lena I am totally team Rowan! I ship Raelin!

Nina Sirichantaropas YESS TEAM ROWAN I SAW IT COMING OMG! (so much better than chaol in my opinion (; )

Shawna ME TOO!!!

AHHHHHH I can not wait any longer, I need a Rowan fix and the build up of sexual tension between him and Calaena is killing me. IF he dies before they hook up or dies period, I may never read another book again. Again I say AHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

Maddy Absolutely! Been team Rowan since Heir of Fire, and they genuinely have such an amazing relationship now! Don't know how I will cope if he dies...

Joel Andersson Can't say im particularly thrilled by the idea of Rowan and Aelin getting it together (actually i despise anyone who would ever want that) although it does seem quite likely as of queen of shadows. As for Chaol and Dorian I don't see a way for them to be together ever again, now that Faliq is here and Dorian is still plagued by the death of Sorscha I dont really want them to be together either (not anymore atleast, but if either of them die I will officially cry till my eyes go dry). As for Aedion and Lysandra there we have a relationship which would be a sight for sore eyes wont go into detail though since I have already been going on for way to long. So now final thoughts: Rowan dies/goes evil i will become super happy since I jsut despise him I really dont know why i just do, Sarah pulls an Allegiant: I will not become as mad as during that book, but I will still cry although not at all as much. cant see her doing that during this book will prolly have to wait untill the final installment of the series which I suspect is going to be the next one. It would be quite cool to see a book without it's former main character for the last part though. Chaol and Dorian will prolly just be slightly chipping in with minor stuff during this book can't really see them being part of anyting major now that Aelin has finally arrived in Terrasen. I know I might be kinda late with this one since most persons wrote thirs when the book was just announced, but I like to be there when the book is almost out. As for what actually happen I guess we will get to know at september the sixth when some of our questions will get answered and we'll get about a million more which will hopefully be answered in the final book which again I belive will be the one after this one.
Oh and one more thing someone remind me to never write a post this long on a cell it takes bloody ages whith auto correct.

Jillian Agreed, if he dies though, I don't think I could handle it. I really hope she doesn't kill him off just because Aelin loves him so much

Eva I have shipped them as a couple since the beginning of HoF. And honestly, I really hate Chaol at this point, and wouldn't actually mind if someone would *accidentally*, happen to make Chaol disappear for good, but that would leave us with a weepy Nesryn so if it were up to me, I kinda have to give Chaol one because he made Celaena happy through the first and partially second book, so I guess he deserves his own little happy ending, which is hopefully off-page, on another continent where we never hear of him again. So as long as Rowan and Aelin are together, I'm happy. :D

Lily Percabeth I'm team sam. The novellas broke me to tiny bits. I feel as if he loved her the most.

Faerie No.

Simply, I've had an unfounded grudge against Rowan since day 1.

Lexy S.C. I was definitely team Rowan, but then I read the prequels. Now I feel like no one can replace Sam. :(
And also, does it disturb anyone else that eventually Aelin will get all old and stuff and Rowan will still be all immortal and young-looking? It really disturbs me.

Tatum RAELIN
I WILL GO DOWN WITH THIS SHIPPPPPP

Hannah YES! Team Rowan ALL THE WAY!

Meghan Voll Hoping to God she does not kill Rowan off I just...ROWAN IS AMAZING. We need to see more of Rowan and Aelin together in the next book!

Bella Longland ROWAN ROWAN ROWAN <3

Oceane Novacek Honestly since the beginning of this series I've always disliked both Chaol and Dorian. And I just hoped for a new guy. so Basically I adore Rowan and he's a dream come true. But I feel like Rowaelin won't be lasting to the end of the series no matter how much I want it to. Ughhhhh, but Rowan is perfect.

Hannah LOVE ROWAN! Long live Raelin!

Claire Sykes Yaaaasssssss people!!!!!!! Rowan is total bae!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Kris Volnero Eh, I mean I'm just upset Aelin won't make up her damn mind. I thought Dorian was her match. I never thought she and Chaol would work out, actually... I never liked Chaol much anyway. I thought it was just going to be a love triangle thing where it's the prince and the guard for the girl. But then I read about Sam and then HE FUCKING DIED. JUST WHY?!? And then when we met Rowan, I saw THAT coming from a mile away. I don't think Rowan is a perfect match for her; I ship her and Dorian, but that's not going to work out for sure, so I guess I should get used to Rowaelin...
Oh, I bet she's going to get a new love interest in the next book. Perhaps Lysandra ;)

Kay Team ROWAN for the win !!!!!

Sabine K. I. Hate. Team. Rowan. Does NOBODY else realize that Lyria, NOT Aelin, LYRIA is Rowan's mate? Is it just me, or does this seem just a tad unfaithful of Rowan? Also, I would like it to be noted that there is at least a 300 YEAR age difference. Whatever, to each his own, but if you ask me, that is a lot bit creepy. I personally would like Aelin to be a solo queen. That speaks to me of her original character, which would make more sense to me. Aelin never needed anyone but Sam, so, yeah.

Bbwolfy I AM ALL THE WAY FOR TEAM ROWAN/RAELIN
I LOVE HOW THEY CONNECT WITH EACH OTHER
BUT PLEASE SJM PLEASE GIVE FULLL SEX SCENES

Danyel Vazquez I don't know why i clicked this im only halfway through crown of midnight.

Hali I have been Team Rowan even before they became a thing. I would rant to my English teacher about how much they needed to kiss and finally be together.

Emily Davie Hell yeah Rowan is the ONE! If he dies, I'm DONE!!! We need more Rowan!!

Michaela I have shipped Aelin with Rowan ever since the very first time they met. I've never felt Dorian or Chaol were the right guy for Aelin (or Calaena). They just felt wrong. Then Rowan came up and the first thing I thought was "THIS IS IT!!! THIS IS THE GUY" I've stayed strong, holding on to the Rowaelin ship, even when Rowan was still in his asshole phase, and my prayers were finally answered. I have never smiled that hard before.

Emma McCall YES YES YES Raelin ALLLLLLL the way!!!!!!!! I love how territorial he is:)))))) I don't like Chaol anymore and it kinda makes me sad but at the same time..... ROWAN. You feel?

Ovidio Perez I been on team Rowan since I first laid eyes upon him like star gazing into the soul of my heart. He was just too much for me and I knew Aelin was falling madly in love with him too when they first met up... <3

Anna I ship Raelin, and will forever so please make me happy

Isabel ROWAN and all his territorial nonsense (hope adien doesn't mess it up!)

Sapphire Ice TEAAAAAM INDEPENDENT
but honestly i always thought Rowan and Aelin had a very platonic relationship in Heir of Fire
*sigh* if only Sam was here

Poorba Sinha I think, I'm the only person who's still in love with Dorian. I really like Rowan, but Dorian's always going to be my favourite.

Htb2050 No one actually, Aelin can't make up her mind so it will always be one guy after the next. Lets see which new one makes appearance in this book.

Tessa I used to be Team Chaol but now I see their relationship as a 'friends' thing, since Chaol is getting more and more involved with Nesryn, and even when they were together I felt like it was more of a physical relationship. However, Rowan sees all the parts of her and understands her, and vice versa. I think Rowan is the best person for Aelin and I can't wait to see more of them in this upcoming book. (:

Gynger Fyer Aedion? Nobody for the half-fae hunk of hottie? but i know some one who will kill for Chaol..............

Elizabeth Daves Definitely! I shipped them from the moment we met Rowan. Before that, I kinda shipped Chaolaena (CelaenaxChaol), but I didn't really feel their relationship was going anywhere. But then, when we met Rowan, I was like, this is the guy for her.

Lily Wood TEAM RAELIN ALL THE WAY

Brittany Keeler i love them together so much omg. it scares me to like them together so much because i don't think i could handle it if something happened to him

Bianca WOW! I cant believe that it has been 3 years since I have loved the characters of throne of glass.. I still love the series and waiting for the next installment.. <3

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Jet13 I totally vote for team rowan. I shipped them from the first time we met rowan. None of friends did they were are Celaena and Chaol, Celaena and Dorian. But i stayed strong and loved team rowan. They are the best and not even rowans old mate can separate them, not even the fact that they are cousins.

Siovan Me too!
There had been many 'romantic partners' in Celaena's journey but Rowan...well...I hope he's the one!

Haru Definitely, I used to be team Chaol, but because of the antagonism between him and Aelin my favour has dissipated, and I, right from the very beginning, didn't feel right with Dorian, only a month until Empire of Storms is out!!!!! Can't wait, but it's still gas, I'm probably going to preorder it anyway...

William Nope, I don't like Rowan at all. I hope "grand-pa" dies a glorious death.

Celaena Sardothein OMG Rowan is totally the one! But the whole immortal/ mortal thing?? eeeh- am I the only one who hopes that Aelin could be given immortality, maybe from Maeve being killed off or maybe a witch sacrifices herself for Aelin? I mean, she could always bond with Rowan and share immortality with him, but that doesn't really make as much sense as someone giving their life to Aelin. What if Aelin went back to the Spiders who give spidersilk? She once promised that merchant who gave her spidersilk she would get his years back....What if she slayed a spider who had fed off the immortality of someone, but they had died?? But Aedion wasn't sure if he was immortal or not since he found who his Dad is- so why can't Aelin be given immortality too?? MAKE THIS HAPPEN PLEASE (Plus is Rowan dies I think Aelin would have to join him, I don't really see how they couldn't be together now- Celaena has swapped guys every book! Sam, Dorian, Chaol, then it went to Rowan- AND HE STAYED FOR HOF AND QOS- they are Carranam! Did u guys realise that actually means soulmate in another language?? OMG TEAM ROWLIN FOREVER!!!!!!!!!)
Wait wait wait just realised.....what if someone died, and celaena went into the underworld to find them again? Or what if Celaena died, and a God granted her immortality to get back? CELAENA COULD TOTALLY BE IMMORTAL

Rose Maybe Elena will give her the gift of immortality just because she saves the world

Khola Rowan is perfect for her! akdjfgjkh <3

Jordan Privett I am so team Rowan all the way! They are perfect together I was team Rowan since Heir of Fire (like the middle of the book). If he dies or something happens where they aren't together anymore I will be so done and hate this book forever!

Valkyrie Cain I love Rowan soo much and when he's with Aelin it just... makes my heart explode!

Macaroons :) OMG YES!!! since heir of fire!!!! But I hope Celaena is immortal (if not...... do something!!!!!!!)

Kaitlyn Team Rowan till the end!!

Shaiyra I hope to God that Sarah doesn't kill Rowan off! My heart would become bitter and wither away...

R. Anne Rowan. No question.

Frances Peterson I was Rowan before I thought it was going to be a true ship

Rogan Naturally! Rowan is amazing.

Kaitlin ROWAELIN FOR LIFE!!!!!!!!

Jamie Stumpf haha yes! is there anyone who isn't at this point? =D their relationship is literally life!

Faikae Z i despise rowan x aelin tbh, probably because they are cousins and idc if they are really distant, something about that just icks me 💀 (although platonically i love them). And NOBODY will replace Sam he's just simply the best, he cared for her the most, he is perfect for her and again nobody will replace him lol

Sarah Book Dragon I shipped Rowan and Aelin before I even started the first book. I can't help myself from looking up spoilers about the mc's relationship status. I'm not proud to say that I knew how this series ended before I even started it. I really have no self restraint. I'm probably not the only one

evie ˎˊ- Ohhhh yeah. Let's goooo! I used to ship Dorlaena, but that honestly stopped when Rowaelin's love-hate relationship began. I never liked Chaolaena, just because I hate Chaol as a character. I don't know why, but I despise him.

Amelie Isn’t Rowan her cousin?

Greta oh something new, the ancient dude who is into a way younger woman and also prince, captain is not hight up enough the food chain....

Catherine/Maya Linehan I totally ship Rowan,I loved this book. So much I cryed myself to sleep after the ending for a week and whenever someone says the word 'book' I become really sad and just think of the ending of this book and cry. I'm not reading next one( tower of dawn) until the next book is out.

Joy A part of me is still no over Sam Cortland. He is my favorite among the guys. But, I also love Rowan.

❀nejet❀ THERE ARE OTHERS TEAMS?!

Ashley (Chris's version) I'm on Team Rowan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

☽Muna☾ Team Rowan since they first saw each other in the mortal Wendlyn <3 <3

AFTER EOS I LITERALLY CRIED, NAY, SOBBED, FOR OVER TWO HOURS AND THIRTY MINUTES AND I SWEAR I STILL FEEL EMPTY!!!
ESPECIALLY WHEN HE SAID "WHERE IS MY WIFE!?!" AND WHN LORCAN SOBBED, BUT AM I A BAD PERSON FOR BEING MAD AT ELIDE FOR BEING MAD AT LORCAN???? ALSO, AEDION AND LYSANDRA ARE OTP, BUT AEDION WAS BEING A MAJOR JERK!!!

Oriana Carrillo FOREVER TEAM ROWAN!!

Kirsten YES!! Been shipping them every since Heir of Fire!

Ewan I'll Admit, I was team Chaolena but ever since reading Queen of Shadows i've loved Rowan, I love the magic in this series and I swear if the surprises at the end of this come true I will not forgive Mass

Georgie-Cate Wallis

This answer contains spoilers… (view spoiler)

Jacqueline Raether Have always and will always be a Rowaelin supporter.

Solaris I heart Rowan and Aelin as a couple as of QoS. I wish I was right in the middle of dat shiz.

I do feel like their love didn't 'naturally' come into being, and it could have evolved better. A criticism of SJM's writing. Even though Rowan's viewpoint chaps in QoS enlightened me/us to a lot of what's going on inside him, something just doesn't add up.....

HoF is my favorite book in the series thus far, and though I love it, to this day I still have issues with how MEAN Rowan was in the beginning/middle of that book---I have a hard time in my head reconciling the initial contempt changing to respect, friendship, and love as it did in that book without an *actual* apology and atonement. (Though that can be argued on too).

But I still LOVE them and ship 'em! They are together and in love, and nuttin else matters! :)

Paradigm "Fairytales, dreams, and nightmares, they make me see clear" Uh it's always been team Rowan since whenever he showed. The moment he came on the scene. I was like "ROWAN!"

hannah totally. they have a connection that seems to bind the together

R I don't like it because in the previous book they where totally platonic and I feel like this is a very sudden switch. Vote Chaolin!

Chiara Ribeiro I get it, Rowan and Aelin are perfect for each other and their chemistry just sizzles.. But she had said always to chaol.. And that's what bugs me, the way words no longer mean anything. I think she and chaol would've been something beautiful, I shipped them from day 1 but I do see how they both have changed.. It just makes me kinda sad

birdy ME TOO!!! I've loved Rowan since his first appearance in Heir of Fire. i love it when they sass each other and have those conversations without actually talking SO CUTE! --but what will happen to Aelin because she isn't immortal?? If Aelin doesn't become immortal i will internally die.

Anna Oh I just ADORE Aelin and Rowan. *Swoon* They are literally all the goals. If they didn't end up together (but I'm almost positive they will) I'd be crushed. I shipped them from the very first moment we met Rowan. I was rereading the books, and in ToG it was so weird without him. I just kept thinking, "Rowan is out there somewhere in "this" world. I wonder what he's doing?"

Caitlin TEAM ROWAN FOR LIFE

Ginya Claire Rowan is cool and all but...what about Dorian??

Olivia I will go down with this ship!

imashamedofmyoldreviews My first ship was Chaol- never Dorian- then I read Assassin's blade so Sam and then landed on Rowan.

Rose Team Rowan!!!! Wooooo

✴︎ My heart will shatter of anything happens to Rowan and Aelin! I'm reading comments of how Sarah said that their shippers will hate her by the end of EoS; I hope they're wrong because I will die of heart break. I love them so much! Their bond has grown from hate to friendship to another deeper level. I feel like they understand each other so much more because of their carranam. They are so similar yet different in a way that it compliments them well. Can't wait for Empire of Storms and for Rowan and Aelin!

Abby Mendoza YESSSS Team Rowan!!!
I will go down with this ship!!!!!!!!!!!

Sasha YAAAAAAAS Team Rowan all the way!!!! I was over Chaol from the start

Zoe YAY go ROWAELIN YASSS

Aneesah Hussain ✨ Duhhh!!!!!!!!!!! Only the most stupidest person on the planet would say no!!!!!!!!!!!!! Dorian and Chaol are slowly moving over so.... Aelin & Roean is like the perfect match!!!!!!!!!!!! SQUEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Natalie Team Rowan. Always.

April YES I begged Sarah J. Maas to hint whether there would be any chance Rowan and Aelin would end up together when she came to my school and SHE SAID I WOULD LIKE THE ENDING IF I SHIPPED THEM TOGETHER!! YOOOOOO~

May Lee I am totally on team Rowan!!!!!!!! But at the same time you can't replace Sam.... :( I have hated Chaol ever since they broke up... But I don't like that Nesryn girl either. I would also hate for Dorian to like another girl, but when that Sorscha girl died I got sooooooo happy. But anyways now it'll be Raelin!! Hopefully Rowan dosen't die... Or Aelin, I would cry for weeks if something would've have happened to them.

Iman Asim Count me in for TEAM ROWAN

Mahawa Bangoura SJM PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE, don't kill Row-Row!! He is the perfect one for Aelin. I TOTALLY ship Raelin. (Rowan+Aelin)
Like, come on. Yes I liked chaol but he quickly became a jerk in the end of crown of midnight. His character kind of changed which changed MY feelings for him!!
RAELIN FOR LIFE..... if this ship goes down believe it that I am going down wit it!!!

Zara Lagrimas TEAM ROWAN all the way! I I shipped Rowaelin since HOF and I'll continue to support and love them until the end of the series.

Ayda YYESSS I shipped them since the beginning of Heir of Fire! <3

GirlBetweenPages Yes! Team Rowan for the win!

Koffe Team Rowan for the WIN!!! I liked Rowan from the moment he came in to the story he is just awesome a bit dark and broody he just fits together with Aelin so well :D. In my mind there is no better pair than those 2. Never really liked Chaol at all, he couldn't handle who Aelin was and always tried to change her.

Hina Shakeel I m with you....I m shipping Rowaelin since i read the third installement of the serie.........and I really like Rowan alot.

Bliz Heath Yaaas ROWLIN! Like from the moment they met I knew

Azizia Definitely on team Rowan, I thought he was my favourite SJM love interest characte, until we got to see who Rhys truly was in ACOMAF (though I had a feeling from it once we saw him in ACOTAR). Love them both but Rhys is winning atm.

Talia OMG YAASSSSS!!!! I shipped rowaelin since the beginnning of the heir of fire. I always hated Chaol...... and I think that Rowan is just a way better match for Aelin.

Zobia YESSSHHHH TEAM ROWAN, and yes i liked rowan from the very beginning, since he met her and he hated her.... SOOOO YESSS THANK YOU

lore Team Rowan all the way!!! I mean, how can one not ship Rowaelin?? It's actual perfection, they're my OTP. I'm thinking Mala Fire-Bringer will grant Aelin immortality or something. After all, she is needed, and they're supposed to be "the players in the unfinished game" so it makes sense, especially when Aedion might be immortal. Maybe it's just me, but I think that might be building up to Aelin becoming immortal, too.

Lauren I wish they could have stayed close friends throughout Queen of Shadows and just kind of liked each other without acting on it considering there is still two books to go and which characters in history have had a healthy, stable relationship for two books. I love Rowaelin, they are my OTP and i just want them to be happy but like - Two books ;(

StormBorn DAMN YES ROWAN!
GODS ABOVE I SHIP THEM SO FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU****G MUUUUUUUUUUUCH!!!!!
THOSE TWO ARE A BOMB OF HORMONES.
:Q______

OK, aside from my freak out, I must say that at first I thought Aelin/Caleana was end-game with Chaol because he was so.........*Q* BUT than there was Rowan and I don't know....SARAH PLEASE don't kill Rowan, nor Aedion.

Banana is there really any other team?

Heart Feather Definitely, if Aelien ditches him(she better not or I will personally tan her hide for being an idiot) I would snatch up that territorial fae basted! (please get the reference my fellow team Rowan fans!) go team Rowan!

Maya :) Well, even though they're very distant cousins...

Kris Volnero Eh, I mean I'm just upset Aelin won't make up her damn mind. I thought Dorian was her match. I never thought she and Chaol would work out, actually... I never liked Chaol much anyway. I thought it was just going to be a love triangle thing where it's the prince and the guard for the girl. But then I read about Sam and then HE FUCKING DIED. JUST WHY?!? And then when we met Rowan, I saw THAT coming from a mile away. I don't think Rowan is a perfect match for her; I ship her and Dorian, but that's not going to work out for sure, so I guess I should get used to Rowaelin...
Oh, I bet she's going to get a new love interest in the next book. Perhaps Lysandra ;)

Nina Um, YES. Cannot wait for this book. I am hyperventilating right now... Why do we have to wait so long?!

Georgia I believe that Aelin is in fact immortal as is Dorian because of his magic also Aelin is part fae like Rowan so i think that she will too be immortal. I hope Dorian is immortal but I don't know how that's going to go...

L S ARVYHTRCCEAAAADFGHJJHG ROWAELIN TILL THE END OF TIME!!! Dear SJM, please insert more bath tub and night gown scenes. :) (dying inside because just thinking about it makes me want to read the book and september is very very far from now)

Aelinofthewildfirefireheart I'm team Rowan. He's so hot.

Piperarington SOOOOOO team Rowan!!!!! I'm just afraid that Maas will kill him off and then have Aelin and Dorian be together. That would really suck! But yes I am definitely team Rowan!!!!!

Alison Honestly, I liked it better when they yelled at each other, hating but not really hating each other in HoF. I liked that relationship far more. It was really funny! I loved how the cook said that their words curdled milk. I love Rowan though!

Jhanvi ROWAN FOR THE WIN! Love them together

Hanna I'm in team Rowan!! :D And because this is a fantasy book I'm sure they will find a way to make Aelin be young as long as Rowan is. And if not I'm going to cry in like forever !!!

Cityofdauntlessshadowhunters TEAM ROWAN - Definately

Sylvia I'm Team Rowan!!!

Piper TEAM ROWAN ALL THE WAY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Rufayda CHAOL ALL THE WAY!! lol yes I still have hope

Neeka Dumoy I ship Raelin so much
