Jess S (mintchip) | 267 comments I have a question for you guys.

QoS SPOILER (sorry not sure how you do the link thing)



What do you think the chances are of Elide making it all the way to Terrasen without drawing on the power of the key?

What do you think the chances are of Elide making it to Terrasen un-notices and unscathed?

Honestly I think Elide is going to encounter a lot of obstacles. It would be a MIRACLE if she made it there without trouble. What I am interested to see is if she will be stronger now that Magic is free, like if she will somehow be able to access her IronWitch blood!

Jess S (mintchip) | 267 comments I guess I'm a little worried for her. I dont want her to turn into a victim character that seems to always need saving. I'm hoping we'll see a little more bravery and cunning as she has a chance to grow into her own. I'm not expecting any Aelin bada$$ery from her,but I think she has the potential for either complete helpless misery or a quiet cunning that will knock your socks off.

I'm worried about the former, but hoping for the latter obviously

message 9: by Lexie (new)

Lexie Eh, anything that gets Manon away from Dorian.


message 10: by Grace Meredith (new)

Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Jess, that's a good point. I definitely don't want this kickass Manon that we know to turn into a weakling just because she 'found her heart', or whatever. I want her to grow into a strong but merciful person, distinct from, yet similar to, Aelin. I really like Manon overall, and I can't wait to see how she develops.

Agreed. One of the draws to this series, is the portrayal of strong female characters. Elide is a smart, clever girl. Barring her being taken hostage at the outset, traveling through the forest and the mountains, alone, should give her time to come into her own.


message 12: by Grace Meredith (new)

Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Dawn, this might not be too important, but I also want to add that I don't want Elide's journey and POV to be realllllly boring in the next Throne of Glass book, because walking through the woods all alone until she gets to... wherever she's going, could be a not-so-interesting trip. On the other hand, it could be really exciting too.

Anyone else have this fear?


message 13: by Dawn (new)

Dawn | 182 comments There are so many ways for Elide to make a solo journey (partially, at least) through the forest/mountains. She could encounter a random Valg patrol/transport, giving her an opportunity to spy or rescue, maybe the odd animal hunting her, all the while learning survival skills, bandits, Lorcan, etc.

SJM is far too good and clever a writer to have Elide's expedition be boring to read.


message 14: by Grace Meredith (new)

Grace Meredith (koreantrash) Yep, I don't really doubt her, it's just that after HoF (which was reallly boring until like page 450, as far as the witches went), I'm a little worried. Not hugely, though1


message 15: by Jess S (new)

Jess S (mintchip) | 267 comments I'm thinking it like 90% chance Lorcern will find Elide on her journey.


message 16: by Kelly (new)

Kelly (unapologeticallya) | 62 comments I definitely wonder what would happen in an Elide/Lorchan encounter...

Laura Galathynius (lauragalathynius) | 9 comments I ship them so hard.


message 19: by Grace Meredith (new)

Grace Meredith (koreantrash) ELIDE AND LORCAN TOGETHER THO. They would be so cute. What if he got protective of her?! Awwwwww....


message 20: by Lexie (new)

Lexie I don't know wouldn't Lorcan be like, too old for Elide?


message 21: by Nicole (new)

Nicole Taylor | 53 comments Maybe like Elide and Ren Alsbrooke! I think they would be cute!


message 22: by Natalia (new)

Natalia (ravenandthehawk) | 387 comments That would be cute.


message 23: by Lexie (new)

Lexie I said that before somewhere! They would be so cute!


message 24: by sophie (new)

sophie (flowersforallmyrooms) I've literally only just met Elide in Queen of Shadows but I'm already really enjoying Manon and Elide's relationship. I don't know if I ship it, but I like them as friends.


message 25: by Megan (new)

Megan Cheang | 142 comments It would be an interesting ship, but i get the feeling that Manon is going to be dating Dorian. It would be an interesting idea - having an ironteeth witch for a queen of Adarlan. I can only imagine Dorian's mother's reaction :)


message 26: by Lexie (new)

Lexie Nooooo! Manon needs to stay away from Dorian. I don't care who Manon ends up with as long as it's not Dorian.

I couldn't believe that Manon and Dorian would end up together. They would clash and it would be a terrible ship. She has no interest in Adarlan and it says so in the book. I feel that her story in the forthcoming books will veer far away from Adarlan and she'll go to the Wastes instead.


message 28: by Diane (new)

Diane (mystifiedswift) I agree Megan. It's just not right...


message 29: by Christina (new)

Christina Kakarouba (akingdomofbooks) | 1 comments I thought I was the only one. I ship it so hard

Why not Dorain?


message 31: by Parnita (new)

Parnita Tolia (parnitatolia) Coz Dorian is precious baby!!! He deserves someone who will stay by his side!!!


message 32: by Sonicj01 (new)

Sonicj01 | 32 comments this doesnt make sense, pretty sure they r both straight


message 33: by Diane (new)

Diane (mystifiedswift) So are Harry and Draco but people still ship that, don't they? (To clarify, I don't ship it.)


message 34: by Tristen (last edited Oct 08, 2016 05:59PM) (new)

Tristen (bo0kenthusiast) Dorian isn't a puppy anymore . . .I mean he is ~sometimes~ but, right now he's #DarkDorian


imashamedofmyoldreviews (pleasedontjudgeme_ichanged) Yes, but he needs to get out of his brooding stage and be himself again. And even if he stays #DarkDorian, I don't feel Manon is helping. I ship Manon and Asterin, actually. They could be bisexual.


message 36: by Diane (new)

Diane (mystifiedswift) But Manon and Asterin are cousins so don't you think that's a bit weird?


message 37: by Megan (new)

Megan Cheang | 142 comments I honestly shipped Manon and Elide over Lorcan and Elide, mostly because I don't like Lorcan.
