39% (view spoiler)[Uuuugh Aedion stop freaking out, she's survived without you in Endovier and as the assassin for 10 years, she doesn't need you to hold her hand whenever she talks to a male... And you're not even her mate, not like you need to be jealous! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

53% (view spoiler)[Yay Lorcan! Is it only me, or does SJM have so many characters with either golden hair or black hair and onyx eyes... What colour is onyx eyes anyway?

Honestly throughout the whole first and second books I viewed Dorian as basically another copy of Aedion.. And then I find out he has black hair.. Changed everything! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

57% (view spoiler)[I honestly love their relationship, but still don't really know where their feelings came from... Is it as soon as he realised they were carranam? Or when? Because they hated each other so much until she basically stayed in his room... After her 'burnout..'? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

63% (view spoiler)[Yay she pissed off Clarisse :p (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

So crazy to think that I'm halfway through book 4 already! Honestly it feels like I'm flying through them XD Where did Heir of Fire even go, honestly! Someone tell me! I'm almost at Empire of Storms <3 And then I'm into new territory with Tower of Dawn and then Kingdom of Ash! And I cannot wait! I am so ready!

[Maddie]

64% (view spoiler)[Okay I just want to state here how convenient it is that she had no idea about Wyrdmarks until Nehemia, and then she learnt just the basics, and now she can decipher whole ancient passages with very difficult marks, and have it actually make sense. It's a little too convenient -_- (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

68 (view spoiler)[Oh wow it's Roland! I thought it was Dorian for a second when they mentioned golden-haired young man. And then I remembered that Dorian doesn't have blonde hair, that he's black-haired, but I can't get his initial appearance out of my head XD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

70% (view spoiler)[So Aedion's mother must have been somehow related to Aelin's parents. As his father is an immortal Fae.
I love how everything's tying together! (hide spoiler)]

[Ari ☾]

starting this :)

[Maddie]

Yay! I can't wait for Empire of Storms!!

[Maddie]

84% (view spoiler)[And now shit gets real! Just had Manon vs Aelin (the only thing I remember from this book) and shit that was amazing!

It's also coming back to me how SJM always plots stuff with her characters that we as readers have no idea about until they actually follow through with the plan, and while it makes it exciting and shocking, it's also confusing...

I loved hearing Asterin's story, even though it broke me :( (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Will be finishing QoS tomorrow!

[Maddie]

I also think it's so weird that (view spoiler)[Lysandra isn't in her original proper form. It feels fake, and I just don't like it. I wish we knew what her original form was, that way it feels more legit. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

88% (view spoiler)[:o I can't even deal with this book right now!! I cannot stop
My eyes are almost skimming this book because I HAVE TO SEE WHAT HAPPENS
Even though I've read it, I can't help it!!

Lorcan arriving to help
Ghost leopard Lysandra
Manon and Asterin
Aelin saving Dorian!!
IT'S TOO MUCH FOR MY HEART! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

40% (view spoiler)[ wow so I’m not sure who the love interest is going to be for Calaena, out of Chaol or Dorian. I think I’m leaning towards Dorian being my preference at the moment. I wonder who is killing the contestants? I am liking the princess and Calaenas friendship. (hide spoiler)]

Can't wait for you to find out!

[Maddie]

92% (view spoiler)[How can fire stop debris from falling... How can it shield the city??

I also kind of believed the King..

Wow that was a tad too intense of a speech. At least be nice to them! Reminds me more of what Manon should do than Aelin!

Oh I LOVE MANON! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

96% (view spoiler)[Okay so Kaltain's been lying this whole time! Holy shit this book keeps throwing stuff at me! I'm so excited!

Okay so now Aelin will have all 3 keys: the one from Kaltain, the Eye of Elena and the Amulet, was it? (can't remember it...) The one Arobynn had
And she'll also have the immunity to the Valg because of that ring.

Oh yes Lysandra vomited all over Lorcan <3 Hahahaha

I totally forgot Chaol was crippled! :o (hide spoiler)]

I'm basically just typing up all of my thoughts as I'm reading at my computer XD

(view spoiler)[ who ate someone’s eyes? I must have missed that.

All the little hints :P I can’t wait to reread this series and see hints too! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Grave did.

[Maddie]

Finished! (view spoiler)[Okay so now Chaol's Hand of the King as well as Ambassador? For both courts? How's that work..

Endovier and Calaculla are empty right? The King killed all of them? If not, why isn't she freeing them right now? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Queen of Shadows Review: This was holy woah. Incredible!!!!! Especially the last half! As soon as this hit the (view spoiler)[really epic battle scene at the end, (hide spoiler)] there was no way I could stop. Even though I still had 90 pages to go, there was no putting it down. So much stuff happened, and (view spoiler)[Roland was brought back for a few scenes. And Elide having a POV! I got such a shock to find out Marion was a Blackbeak, therefore making Elide one too! She's nothing like the Thirteen! (hide spoiler)] So heartbreaking to hear about (view spoiler)[Asterin's past and her lover, and Grandmother beating her for falling in love. (hide spoiler)] Also crazy that (view spoiler)[Aelin saved Manon, all because of the heart-wrenching pain in Asterin's scream. Glad that this book finally swapped her from Celaena to Aelin as well. (hide spoiler)] And (view spoiler)[Arobynn died!!! And Lysandra's a shapeshifter! And Aedion's Gavriel's son! And Lorcan's on their side? What!? And that Dorian was freed, and they freed magic! (hide spoiler)] That last spoiler has a whooole lot of shocking things in it, and it's just so crazy. It all happened so fast! But one thing I really enjoyed was (view spoiler)[Rowan and Aelin getting together :) I could sense something brewing even from the start. Strange that nothing remained between Chaol and Aelin though. (hide spoiler)]
On the love interests: (view spoiler)[So now Aelin's with Rowan, Chaol's with Nesryn, Dorian had Sorscha, and it wouldn't surprise me if Lysandra and Aedion got together. (hide spoiler)] So much has changed throughout this series, and it's incredible! Can't wait to read the fifth one!

[Shae]

45% (view spoiler)[ I can’t belejev calaena found an escape tunnel and she turned back so she could compete in the challenge. I totally thought she would leave.

And then finding that tomb!!! Queen Elena’s tomb. I wonder what or who the evil is that’s in the castle.

I also found it quite funny how Dorian and chaol went to her room after the feast! I have no clue who the love interest will be. I’m thinking chaol.

Also why were the other competitors invited to the feast but not caleana?! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Keep reading! Haha

[Maddie]

9% (view spoiler)[Okay so I officially hate Darrow. What an asshole! Why didn't Aelin get more sassy and brutal with him?? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

14% (view spoiler)[Right back into the action! I can't wait to see more of this alliance Manon and Dorian've got!

Once again this whole mating thing is confusing me... How is being mates different from what Rowan and Aelin have? Is mating even stronger than what they have? If so, that feeling is way too intense. If he's lost his mate, why is he having these feelings towards Aelin? (hide spoiler)] Someone please explain!

[Shae]

73% (view spoiler)[ yay Dorian and calaena kissed <3 totally shipping them! I hope he goes against everything and bes with her. I feel like there is something strange going on with Perringtons ring and Kat (whatever that bitch’s name is haha). It’s like she keeps getting headaches whenever it is blackened etc. also I wonder why the princess lied about her knowing the common tongue! (hide spoiler)]

[Ari ☾]

27% (view spoiler)[First two novella's down and I loved the one with Yrene, but I could be biased because I love Yrene. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Maddison I think what mates feels for each other that is supposed to be stronger but here Rowan and Aelin's feelings are equally intense and I think u know why if not u will find out in the end !!! Also I think they are just confused about the mating thing because what they feel is so intense almost like being mates but then Rowan already had a mate but, did he? Or certain Fae queen is involved in the scene hehe 😊 (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Shae wrote: " 73% [spoilers removed]"

Yeah I ship them too <3

[Maddie]

@Pooja can you put the start of the spoiler in comments? Just that it still shows in your reply..

(view spoiler)[Well he said that he did, as the bond snapped into place when he say her. I suppose it doesn't matter that much XD (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

17% (view spoiler)[So Elide is a demon witch? Or why does she have demon scent in her, according to Lorcan? Which animal is Lorcan? The black wolf? Gavriel's the mountain lion, Rowan's the hawk, and there's a black wolf and a white wolf and another bird? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

20% (view spoiler)[Oh my gosh Manon's punishment! :(
I loved the way Petrah stood up to Iskrh though! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

22% (view spoiler)[Okay so why does Aelin assume that Erawan has the other 2 Wyrdkeys? We know that Elide has one, and Aelin has one, but what's the other one? (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Chapter 17 (view spoiler)[Holy SHIT I don't remember that at all!!! I gasped! I can't believe I've got to stop reading now! (hide spoiler)]

[Shae]

78% (view spoiler)[ so glad calaena got away from that creature! I wonder why Cain is being so blarzae about it all. Like he isn’t shocked that she escaped. So glad she told Nox about herself and he has left now. I hope they reunite again. I’m glad she was also open to the princess about herself, I wonder how the princess healed her!

I wonder what these black rings are that Cain and his sponsor perrington have. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

I can't wait for you to find out!

[Maddie]

28% (view spoiler)[Oh wow she escaped her grandmother! Wondered how long for though...

Lorcan and Elide are cute <3 I lose his protectiveness, even though he doesn't have feelings for her. It's better than Rowan's/Aedion's protectiveness of Aelin, as that just feels so tacky and gross. Lorcan's protectiveness has no jealousy. Just to keep her safe from sick men. (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

37% (view spoiler)[Oh wow they just coincidentally came across Aelin in Rolfe's domain! (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

54% (view spoiler)[Oooooh yeesssss these 100 pages are MY LIFE! It's what I remember most from this whole entire series, that battle scene was INCREDIBLE! Just all of the feels, and the music I had on at the time just completely fit! Don't laugh at me here, but seriously, (view spoiler)[ when you read Chapter 35, put on How Far I'll Go (yes from Moana), it just SERIOUSLY WORKS! (view spoiler)[All the feels for Lysandra and Aedion, as well as Rowan and Aelin! (That beach scene though, phew, super steamy up in there!) I actually forgot that Deanna takes control of her body.
I'm also super confused, what are the 3 Wyrdstones? Kaltain's shard, the Eye of Elena and what else? Who's got it and what is it? (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)] (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

Joining in from October 1st :)



Up to chapter 7
(view spoiler)[ I like the story plot so far. 20 something assasians in a competition? Count me in! The only thing is Calaena seems kind of full of herself. She just keeps going on and on about how she can kill everybody in the room in .5 seconds. 🙄 (hide spoiler)]

[Maddie]

Yeah I totally get that.

[Natalie]

Chapters 8-16
(view spoiler)[ Nothing is really happening yet. The assasians are training and they shot some arrows... yippee. But who killed the eye eater? (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

Chapters 17-29

(view spoiler)[ I am loving this book so far! So glad that the pace has finally picked up. And that Celaena finally stopped holding back! I'm totally shipping Celaena with Dorian. Her relationship with Chaol seems more friendly than with Dorian. Celaena and the princess together are goals. They are so much alike. But it seems like she is hiding something about the Wyrdmarks... (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

What's up with all of these random Kaltain POVS? She really gets on my nerves.

[Maddie]

There was only like 2 or 3 I swear XD

[Maddie]

80% (view spoiler)[Isn't Ansel the one who betrayed them in the Red Desert? The one she stole those horses with?

I just assumed that Lorcan had dark hair, not golden brown XD
This whole entire book is so intense. I'm just going to list a bunch of quotes that I found, along with my thoughts XD

Chapter 38: 'She let out a sound that might have been a whimper, might have been his name'. I'm a little confused as to how a whimper might sound like 'Rowan'.. And how anyone can ever get to that point..
Chapter 45: 'she'd thanked him by locking the door to their room and getting on her knees before him. She could still feel his fingers fisted in her hair, still hear his groan'. Holy jeez this just was so intense. Definitely not YA!
Chapter 53: 'Lysandra had politely, but thoroughly, gagged at one point'. This just made me laugh :p How does one politely gag?
Chapter 55: 'Perhaps it was time for Morath to learn to scream'. Yyeeeeessss this quote just got me so excited <3 It's perfect!
Chapter 55: 'Her claiming marks, he'd breathed into her mouth the last time he'd been inside her. So he and anyone who saw them wold know that he belonged to her. That he was hers, just as she was his.' I love this :D The vulnerability and protectiveness and how much he loves her.
Chapter 57: 'Really stop lying on the ground like a worm'. Just another sentence that made me crack up :p It's hilarious to picture! (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

Chapters 30-40

(view spoiler)[ Perrington and Caine are giving me the creeps. Whats up with Cain suddenly gaining ten pounds of muscle? And what about the black rings they both wear? I think Perrington is using his ring to mind control Kaltain... (hide spoiler)]

[Natalie]

Chapters 41-45

(view spoiler)[ How could she think Nehemia could be the killer?? She does know something know... And what is Cain going to do to Celaena during the sparring match? (hide spoiler)]
