Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J. Maas - Restarting November 6th 2020

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 9

(view spoiler)[ Seeing Aelin and Chaol not get along is really hard because I shipped them so hard, this is devastating. I was holding out hope that they would at the very least be friends even if they couldn't be in love anymore, but Chaol is being really harsh. And I don't know how many times Arobynn needs to backstab everyone for them to just stay well enough alone. (hide spoiler)]

Courtney wrote: "Chapter 5. "

I totally laughed at this too! Like I could just hear her tone and it made me chuckle.

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 13

(view spoiler)[ I really hope moving Asterin from Second doesn't bite Manon in the butt, especially since Elide has some kind of agenda. I think I like Elide though. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Courtney wrote: "Up to chapter 10 and the only thing that hurt a little bit was [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ It has to be terrible to be trapped in his own body like that. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Courtney wrote: "Finished chapter 21, and OMG it is finally getting good. It probably helps that I recapped book 3 so I am up to date again. [spoilers removed]"

(view spoiler)[ I really feel like Dorian is going to have to die, because that demon is just going to suck the life out of him. And I feel like Aelin should do it because if Chaol has to do it it's going to destroy him. It just makes me really sad, especially since Dorian really wants to be killed since he's trapped in there :( (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 22

(view spoiler)[ The action is really picking up now, I'm finally getting really into it. And I already know I'm really going to love Manon's story in this one and her friendship with Elide. And now that she knows that the Vlags should be destroyed I feel like her and Aelin are eventually going to have to come together, especially if these little Valg-Ironteeth babies get made. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 26

(view spoiler)[ CAN WE PLEASE JUST KILL AROBYNN I'M OVER THE DRAMA. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 33

(view spoiler)[ God I'm so happy Rowan is back, I missed their witty banter, though I'm just waiting for Aedion and Rowan to attack each other. And I don't think Aelin should have a ton of people blood sworn to her like Maeve like some slave army, because the cadre all seem miserable. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Sorry I have been MIA. I just had my baby and am trying to adjust. Hopefully I can continue this back up tonight.

I had that thought to, and it still sucks. I dont wanna see that happen.

[Lane]

Courtney wrote: "Sorry I have been MIA. I just had my baby and am trying to adjust. Hopefully I can continue this back up tonight."

Oh wow, congratulations! And no worries! I'm just moseying my way through

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 41

(view spoiler)[ I really hope this plan to kill Arobynn works because I'm right sick of him. And Manon is totally going to join Aelin with Elide, I can feel it! And Lysandra?!?!?! (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 49

(view spoiler)[ This book is an emotional roller coaster, from crying thinking Arobynn had finally won to screaming at Aelin's pretense. All hell is about to break loose! And can Manon PLEASE just kill Perrington. (hide spoiler)]

[Courtney]

Chapter 43. What the heck just happened?

Thank you :)

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 52

(view spoiler)[ I mean it's kind of nice to know that Manon can kill the Valg with her bare hands. And it finally looks like Aelin and Manon are on a path towards each other. I'm really excited for this alliance I am hoping occurs. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 61

(view spoiler)[ Finally Manon and Aelin meet! Finally! And now they have to be allies because Manon can't kill Aelin after she saved her, this is going to be so good. I hope she tells Elide that Aelin is alive and well. (hide spoiler)]

[Lane]

Up to Chapter 83

(view spoiler)[ So, so, so, so, so happy Kaltain got a hero's death. She more than deserved one. This section was really all about the girl power - Kaltain, Lysandra, Nesryn, Manon, even Elide. (hide spoiler)]

[Heather]

How much more do you have left Lane?

[Lane]

Heather wrote: "How much more do you have left Lane?"

Just finished! My brain has exploded!

[Courtney]

Lane wrote: "Up to Chapter 61

[spoilers removed]"

I really hope they become allies.

[Courtney]

Finished. The last bit of this book was surprisingly good. I was expecting something completely different because alot of people complained about the ending. (view spoiler)[ Although I thought Mass had killed Choal and Aeidon for a second. I really like how Manon became less of a jerk towards the end, especially when she talked to Elide. Which I hope we get more of her story in the next book. I also was really happy when Dorian came back. (hide spoiler)]

[Tayla]

Can’t wait

[Ashley]

Chap 8
(view spoiler)[ This is such a bummer to me that Celaena and Chaol are like this now and basically hate each other. Its so sad. I always thought they were so cute together. But why didn't she bring Rowan with her? I miss them together too. I'm surprised we haven't seen Dorian yet, I never liked him but I don't want anything bad to happen to him either (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 25
(view spoiler)[ Manon is such a mystery to me. I know she's obviously going to play a big part in this book since she has so many chapters, and I just can't wait for her to hopefully be on Aelin's side. Is Nesryn perfect for Chaol or what? She is awesome. I'm so glad they got Aedion back, I love him. How are they going to get Dorian back to himself? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

Chap 44
(view spoiler)[ I'm so glad Rowan is back! I love how he found them in the alley. Aerobyn is such a jerk, I hope she really follows through with killing him. How about the slave girl's mom being the one to save Aelin? I really like her, shes a good addition to the story. How are they gonna save Dorian? (hide spoiler)]

[Ashley]

end
(view spoiler)[ That was so good! I can't believe they actually killed the king, I kind of felt bad. I'm so glad they saved Dorian, I'm Chaol didn't have to die to do it. This is going to be really good now that magic is back. I really want to read the next one (hide spoiler)]

[Ari ☾]

Joining in on this!

[Ari ☾]

Chapter 1-10
(view spoiler)[In love with the pacing of this. It has just been non stop character development and plot set up, but its been super interesting. I am worried about how much stuff is actually going on. Hopefully it ties in well. I hope it doesn't turn into a book with a million plots that never get resolved and/or disappear. (hide spoiler)]

I've been trying to read this since October so I'll join you guys on this. I didn't get too far so I'll start from page 1.

[Krystal]

20% (view spoiler)[ I hateeeee Dorian. Don't know why. There really isn't a specific reason why I don't care what happens to him. The demon can eat him for all I care. I do like the cousin Aedion and while he did want to die, I'm glad he is alive so he can kick butt and get out of that dungeon somehow. (hide spoiler)]

I absolutely and 100% agree with you on Aelin and Chaol!!!! 100%

SO glad someone else feels this way!

[Pragya]

15%
(view spoiler)[
Ch 1-5: I am still getting used to about the author using Aelin now instead of Celaena. Chaol going to Arobynn is such a high risk. I hope he has a better reason for that. Aedion is so loyal. He wants to sacrifice himself. I'm intrigued to know who the woman is.
Ch 6-10: Chaol is being hotheaded. He needs to tell Aelin about how to bring magic back. I am feeling bad about what they are doing to Kaltain.
I am not sure what to make up about Lysandra yet. What she did to help Evangeline take immerse will power. Thank god! Aedion is healed. Dorian is badly trapped but there is hope he could be saved.
(hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

34%
(view spoiler)[
Ch 11-14: Elide is in such a bad condition. I'm intrigued by what she is up to. Lysandra and Aelin are friends. Chaol finally revealed the secret to Aelin. Breeding Valg and witches.
Ch 15-20: Aedion is finally rescued. What kind of offsprings will come from valg and witches? Elide is planning to escape.
Ch 21-25: Elide has chosen to be a witch. I'm intrigued about what will happen to her now.
(hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

@Nari @Krystal- I don't hate Dorian. I believe that Dorian and Chaol need to grow-up and have some maturity which they are lacking. Aedion is one of my favourite characters so far.
Aedion has to go through a lot while growing up whereas Dorian & Chaol have been save and sound in the castle. Even though Chaol had a high position it still seems he lacks a lot of knowledge that a person in his position should have.
This is just what I think. :)

Nari--MedievalPrincess wrote: "@Pragya, I like Aedion too. You do have a good point, and definitely Chaol needs some growing up."

[Pragya]

50%
(view spoiler)[
Ch 26: It will break Aedion's heart when he'll learn about the blood oath. He always wanted to take the blood oath.
Ch 27-28: This is so far the best chapters. I feel sad for Aedion.
Ch 29-30: Thankfully everything is back to normal between Aedion and Aelin. Is there a possibility that Aelin and Rowan can telepath each other? I hope Dorian finds the courage to fight with the demon.
Ch 31-36: Why/for whom does Elide want poison? What is Lorcan up to?

(view spoiler)[
Yup, Elide has witch blood. I guess we will know about her mother's heritage later on.
(hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

End of Part 1
(view spoiler)[
Arobynn is dead. I knew that Celaena was up to something at the Bank but I didn't think that she will change Arobynn’s will. How many monsters will king create?

Nari--MedievalPrincess wrote: "Part 1 finishedCh 26 to 47: Okay, so one thing I hated so far is Aelin. She's so good at killing people, that's the only thing the author flaunts her for. Like that's her only good quality, and als..."
(view spoiler)[
I agree a battle between both would have been good as we have only heard about his capabilities and never seen him in action.
(hide spoiler)]

[Pragya]

Finished:
(view spoiler)[
The reason for King's army in Morath is so horrifying. Aelin saved Manon. The author had a lot in mind while writing book 1. Dorian shouldn't have killed the king as it seems he knew much more and it would have helped with the knowledge. Magic has come back now.
(hide spoiler)]

[Krystal]

This has really stalled for me. I need to get over this 20% hump but can't seem to do it.
