Hey guys! So now we're going to discuss chapters 31-40. These were my thoughts on the chapters:

So Aedion finally meets his father. And I totally get why he would be angry because he felt his father had just abandoned his mother and him to survive on their own. Again, I loved how supportive and loyal Lysandra was to Aedion.

I was actually surprised that Rolfe was more than just a pirate lord, but the last heir of the mycenians (the sea dragons) which sounds pretty cool. These few chapters were mostly about the battle with the valg which Aelin alerts deliberately with her pulse of power to get Rolfe to help. Which worked. I liked seeing the group's formation like Aedion and Dorian being in the watchtowers whilst Lysandra shifted into a sea dragon to attack the sea wyverns (I love how she freaked out Gavriel and fenrys with her form).

That moment when Aelin was going deep into her power and accidentally used the wyrdkey was intense. Especially when the goddess Deanna decides to sneak into Aelin's body and talk in riddles lol. Although Aelin did break out of her hold, her power still hit some of the innocents which sucks.

It then became even more intense when Lysandra was on her own, fighting the sea wyverns (and then their parents lol). Gosh, it was just hard to read because I didn't want Lysandra to die and SJM was making it sound like she was going to die so I was stuck between despair and hope lol. However, I did love how she kicked their asses and how Aedion just killed one of the wyverns with an awesome aim.

Omg it was so sweet when Aedion rushed to Lysandra and promised her that he would marry her but only when she was ready. I seriously love their relationship <3

And then. It happened. On the beach. Aelin and Rowan getting... close lol. I have to admit, I did get uncomfortable with the details of that scene. The details did go a step further than what I'm used to. Not the kinda image I want in my head lol. But at least they let out their 'frustration' lmao.

I'm also glad that Abraxos got Manon to the gang. Now someone can heal her after how long her wound has been open.

So what were your thoughts? :D
