(view spoiler)[I really love Rowan! He was easily my favorite character in Heir, aside from Manon of course! Manon is also my favortie character in the whole series! As for Elide, I'm liking her more now in EoS (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[ I'm in chapter 37 and so far I like way more now with Manon and Rowan that finally came! I can't wait to see how this will end with Dorian I feel so bad about him (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[Hahahaa be happy for once! The only bad thing is about Dorian (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

End of Part 1, Chapter 48

(view spoiler)[I LOVE LYSANDRA SO MUCH GOD. If there were no story about Aelin I think is whole saga would be about Lysandra or Manon I just love these two girls so much I don't know what to think about Kaltain yet... And I love so much that Arobynn is finally dead and to be honest his character was a little boring I mean yes, well, I love his crazy mind and all his plans but yet is was a little boring.

The only I want the most right now is that Manon and Dorian get to know each other! And can't believe that Dorian is in Morath with Manon, wuju! (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 51
(view spoiler)[So... I was confused! It was Rolan not Dorian and he was killed. At least he had a free soul. (hide spoiler)]

[— Massiel]

Chapter 66
(view spoiler)[The best scene was the fight between Manon and Aelin, I LOVE THAT FEW CHAPTERS SO MUCH. And more than that I love Manon SO MUCH, these last chapters are the best! I didn't expect that story for Asterin I was hoping that they realize Eliden was missing and I hope Manon and Dorian meet again, I love the way she talk to him and make sure that he remember his name. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I thought the same when she saved Manon and I was glad because that means that in a future time they might be allies. (hide spoiler)]

Finished

(view spoiler)[New ship: Manon x Dorian
Aedion x Lysandra

This book was so good, I liked it a lot. I can't wait to start the next one but this whole plot was so complicated I hope that in the next one explain everything. (hide spoiler)]

(view spoiler)[I'm glad you liked it! I really love that fight scene between Aelin and Manon! I'm curious though, do you like Aelin and Rowan's relationship? Because I don't think I do. I mean,
I love them both, but I sometimes cringe when they get sweet around each other. I love Aedion and Lysandra!! They're definitely my OTP here! I still haven't decided what to feel about Dorian and Manon.

Anyway, I just finished Empire, and it was so good! I hope you could read it soon so we could talk about it! Have you seen the thread for it? I'll stick around there for a bit :D (hide spoiler)]

Guinevere wrote: "[spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I like the relationship between Aelin and Rowan way more than Chaol with her because he says to her the words she need to hear and Chaol keep to many things for her but with Nesryn he shares it, that's why I don't like so much Chaol with Aelin. About Empire of Storms I'm starting right now so I'll comment on the other thread. By the way, if you read my previous comments you'll know I LOVE THAT FIGHT SCENE BETWEEN MANON AND AELIN.

If you ask why I give it to little rating it's because is complicated. The whole first part of the book was boring until Arobynn died, then about the whole plot was just so confusing I don't like it I just keep reading because of Manon and Lysandra to be honesta and to finish this serie but I have so much struggle with these saga, Aelin piss me off so much and Aedion piss me off in the third book and the first part of the book but I like him now and more with Lysandra. About Dorian I like him so much but I hate the fact that Sarah punish him and make him surfer so much and when she starts to blame everything to Chaol it was too much that I don't like at all this idea that she's trying to say.

To be honest I keep reading this saga because is entertaining and I can read it pretty fast but I have so many opinions about the plot and the characters and that is why I keep giving so little rating to these books. (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Need a quick recap of the previous book...

[San]

Luckily I have started reading this series in the end of last year so I remember most important things. But probably not all of them because there is so many things going on in many places!
And it's definitely not one-day reading for me. It will take me a few days.
Btw, which team are you: Chaol or Dorian?
Chapter 6
(view spoiler)[ I wish Celaena meet with her cousin and save him! I am curious how they would react to saw each other after so many years and so many things that happened!
Celaena and Chaol reunion: I don't think it will go so good, Chaol didn't seem to be happy about it. (hide spoiler)]

[San]

Chapter 15
(view spoiler)[ I am not a big fan of witch clan. I don't really like in this book neither in the 3rd. Well, I enjoy scene with her choosing Abraxos in 3rd one.
I actually don't mind that Aelin and Chaol don't get along. For now. I hope that their relationship will improve, not necessary in romantic way.
I hope they will free Dorian somehow. I love him so much and can't take seeing him that way! :( (hide spoiler)]

[Karen]

Hi Ginger, I had to go back and remind myself of the key details. Personally, I like Chaol. Read really mixed reviews of this.

[Karen]

Ch1-4. Straight back into subterfuge and plotting. Not sure who to trust here.

[Karen]

Had a break of a few days...now up to ch8. I was hoping Chaol and Aelin would work together, but that meeting was prickly.

[Karen]

Up to ch14. Who to trust? Lots going on behind the scenes.

[Karen]

Up to ch25. While there's lots of fighting, none of it really seems to be doing anything.

[Karen]

Up to ch33. Not really carried along by this-finding the shifting focus really hard to keep up with. Want someone to either sort out the demon inside Dorian or kill him. Something has to happen soon.

[Karen]

Up to ch40. Wonder if Aelin will go through with this plan.

[Karen]

Up to ch48. Arobynn thoroughly deserved that.

[Karen]

Up to ch58. Wonder whether Manon will act as expected.

[Karen]

Up to ch76. How are we meant to keep track with all this double-crossing and deception?

[Abi]

Reading today.

[Alaina]

Yay!! I can't wait to dive into this book :)

[Jenn]

Woot! Let's do this!

[Alaina]

Chapters 1-8: (view spoiler)[



First off, well at least right now, Aelin will always be Celaena to me. I refuse to acknowledge her as anything else. Every time I read Aelin.. I automatically think of Celaena. That will probably change when I get too lazy to keep that up.

Now onto this big ass beautiful book.
I still hate Arobynn. Like hhhhhhhhhhhhhhaaaaaaaatttttttttteeeee the guy. I can't wait for Aelin Celaena kills him.

I feel so bad for Prince Dorian!! AND OMG HE HAS THE COLLAR?!?! I wonder if he is still able to be saved? Will he still be the same once the collar is off? Or will the demon have taken over his body already?

Also, why the fuck is the KING still god damn alive?!?! Can somebody please kill this mofo?

Celaena (aka Aelin) is still my girl. I love her. I love how she is seeking out her revenge and killing so many people. She needs to start kissing some serious ass right now.



Don't forget Chaol and his new lifestyle. UGH Chaol. I don't know how I feel about him in this book. He hasn't really whined that much or acted like a little bitch. He just kind of seems "meh" to me right now. Plus his friendship with Nesyrn seems familiar... like his friendship with Celaena. And I hate how he treats her now and acts like she is the monster. He's just guilty as fuck since he ditched Dorian and ran for his life.

Then there is Manon. My sweet, sweet, Manon :) I'm not happy that she is working with the Duke... or is she working for the Duke? Either way I hate it. I hate the duke. I hate how much Kaltain has changed. I just want the duke to die.

I hope I didn't forget anybody.

(hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapters 19-27: (view spoiler)[

Okay I know that other people have been mentioned throughout these chapters... but this comment will mostly be about Aelin.







Like holy shit. I didn't think it was possible to be even more in love with a character. I absolute love Aelin. Yes I am calling her that now.. like I said I would eventually become too lazy to just keep typing two names. I also have lost count on how many people she has killed. If you've seen the movie John Wick she is definitely the female version of that. Both are total badass people.

I'm still trying to digest what I just read. I'm sure I'll talk about the other characters in the next comment. I mean ROWAN is back so that's good. I like her cousin Aedion. Chaol is being a bitch again. Nesryn seems cool.. I don't know why she is hanging around Chaol all the time. I still hate Arobynn and the King (they really need to die soon). Still hopeful that Dorian will still end up as Dorian. (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapters 37-46: (view spoiler)[HOLY CRAPOLA! So much has happened already. Manon is still being a bad ass and not taking anyone's shit. Aelin has improved her badass-ness ways even more. I love Rowan ad Aedion and how protective they are of Aelin.

I AM SO HAPPY THAT AROBYNN IS DEAD. Freaking ecstatic. Like I could throw a party. Now I will patiently wait for the King to die. I am also waiting for Dorian to be normal again. (hide spoiler)]

Empire of Storms is even longer, but has thin pages.

[Dr. Andy]

Yes I have read all of them I love this series.

[Alaina]

:O I'm scared to even get the next book now

[Alaina]

Chapters 55-63: (view spoiler)[OMG that fight scene between Manon and Aelin :O It was so good!! I'm so happy I stuck with reading this book within a day because I would've been so mad if I fell asleep before that happened.





I am still in love with Rowan and Aelin. Nothing will change me from that ship. I still want certain people to die... so I will patiently wait for that to happen (hide spoiler)]

[Alaina]

Chapters 81-89, aka..

Finished: (view spoiler)[

that. ending. I don't know how I will recover from that!! I will need at least a couple of days or a week. I'm so happy, like so happy, that the people I wanted dead have died.. and that people are somewhat back to normal now. I love how Aelin is killing it. Slay queen slay. I am pretty much in love with this book and I honestly cannot wait to read the next one. (hide spoiler)]

I hope Lily still wants to do a buddy read for EoS because I'm starting to get addicted to BRs.

Omg same!! I've been checking how much you post reviews too! We would kill it! Especially with our planned BR's too.

My team for this group isn't that bad this month but my team for a different group is terrible.. it's mostly me just posting and I feel so bad for the rest of my teammates.

If you want to join Den of Shadows or anything else you definitely can.

[Alaina]

Hmm if I have time I will definitely join that. I guess I'll just have to see if it's available at the library or something.

Yay I'm glad!! I can't wait to read your updates :)

[Jenn]

Thoughts so far as I'm about to start chapter 27 and then I will post more frequently. I am loving the action so far and seeing how much each character is evolving into their own. My heart breaks for Aelin and Chaol cause I just want to push them together but I also understand that they've both changed. (view spoiler)[ and holy crap, didn't expect Rowan to show up! Things are about to get interesting I feel (hide spoiler)]
