Elena or Gavin.. they will be a good possibility but how I don't know. It's not just a necklace, like the poisson in ToG, but a Valg possession. So maybe Gavin will help protecting Dorian inside while Aelin attacks

Dorian will for sure be a villain in people's eyes during this book, but the sad part is that he is aware of what he's doing and can't stop himself from doing it. A villain in the outside but with a hero's heart. I really hope he doesn't die, it will honestly break my heart. Hoping there's another way to break the collar without the need of cutting his head!

Exactly my thoughts!

Impossible, he can't die. He is the futur king. Aside the romantic stuff, he is too important for the storyline. Like Aelin who evolved in HOF, we will see him grow and take resposabilities. I still believe in him!






And there's also Manon and Kaltain and Roland who are all going to be at the same place. And DORIAN. AND ROWAN. SO MUCH FEELS.

Scared to find out what happens to Dorian, scared to find out what happens to Aedion, scared to find out what happens to Chaol, scared to find out what happens to Ren, scared to find out what happens to Rowan, and most importantly,
SCARED TO FIND OUT WHO AELIN CHOOSES (what if it's not Chaol...??)
Anybody else scared?

Maybe Gavin's the reason for that "shield" around Dorian in CHapter 1?

The scariest thing is if she chooses Chaol but then it's too late 3

She only looks to be in her mid-twenties. She's actually over a century old. But I think you already know that. Just saying..^.^

And I think that she will discover her true love, but again she cannot be with him in this book

Hum, I was think about something : Maas said we will know with who Aelin wants to rule BUT that doesn't mean she chooses this person because she is in love. No ? Because, for me, it's little too soon to know her end game, even if I eager to know it!

What "shield" around Dorian?

What "shield" around Dorian?"
Some invisible barrier still separated them, but the wall crumbled a little more every time the thing stalked along its length, testing its strength. -Queen of Shadows, Chapter 1
I'm betting it's Gavin's doing. Or his blood and magic in Dorian. But something/someone's surely behind why. My guess though...

Chaol POV in QOS
HOF was hardest to write
Manon’s POV is easiest to get into
Aelin-Manon meeting in QOS !!!
In regards to how mad Aelin will be when she returns to Adarlan: “Aelin will be mad enough when she returns that it’s a good thing her magic is stifled”
“Definitely possible” for Fae to have more than one soul mate!!!
Character Sarah is most excited for us to meet/re-meet in QoS = Lysandra
Asterin Blackbeak is wanted for murder
Five year old Dorian would want 30 year old Dorian to be an “epic dragon-slayer”
If Sarah could bring back any character that she killed, it would be Nehemia
Sneak Peeks into QOS: “Violence, revenge, steamytimes, attitude problems, epic shenanigans… the usual”
Rowan’s cadre may “purrrrrrrhaps” show up again
On whether Aelin’s fae-ness makes her immortal: “you’ll find that out in future books”
Influence for Rowan: “Rowan just walked into my head one day, and that was that”
QOS is just over 180k words
SJM knows how ToG will end but “still many, many stories to be told in that world afterwards”
Manon likes to have her hair brushed
Yrene will be returning in future ToG books
Celaena’s weapon of choice = daggers
Fleetfoot is 100% confirmed to survive the series
Nox will return (as of right now ) but not is QoS
“Nox has been off on some VERY fun adventures since TOG”
Best thing about writing Celaena = her fire (figurative and literal)
Ending of ToG won’t be like fiction press draft which Sarah considers to be “an entirely different book” of which “everything has been thrown out”
Dorian stole a berry pie from castle kitchen when he was 11, ate the whole thing and was sick for a day (random fact)
Dorian is 6′0, Chaol is 6′1, Celaena is 5′7-5′8, Aedion is 6′3, Rowan is around 6′4
Ansel will return
“Perhaps” we will see the Silent Assassin’s again. “Perhaps” they will play a role in later books.
Rowan would win in a fight against Legolas… “Duh”!
Chaol gets his “fair share of page time” in QoS
Ironteeth “witches have slits high up in their gums where the iron teeth snap down/over their normal teeth”
Arobynn is mid-late 30s
Piano is only instrument Celaena can play
Chaol has “the NICEST buns” (lol)
It was always the plan for Sam to die
“Sam is 1000% dead and never coming back”
Chaol had “a few” love interests before Celaena
Most important question asked (according to SJM): “who has the better bum, Chaol, Dorian or Rowan?” - SJM won’t answer except to say that Celaena definitely has an opinion on this
SJM knows who Celaena is going to end up with

And no, I mean, Ren´s parents were a little bit angry cause they wanted Ren to be Aelin´s protector, to make the blood oath with her and that kind of things.
However it will be very very funny when Ren realizes who Celaena really is... imagine:
Ren: So... you´re my lost queen...???
Aelin: Yeap!
Ren: And... you kick my ass a couple ! months ago...????
Aelin: Yeao!...
Ren: Ok, let´s all of us try not to tell that to Aedion...
Aelin: Sure (Predator smile)

"Ren: And... you kick my ass a couple ! months ago...????
Aelin: Yeao!..."
So Ren and Aelin met each other before?

and yes they met before. Ren is the same warrior of CoW, when Chaold was captured from Archer's band. The man mit two swords and the old man who tried ro dtop celeana? They were Ren and Murtaugh

"Chaol found Aedion and a familiar-looking old man staring dawn at him. The one who had begger Celeana to stop that nigjt in the warehouse." the old man, Murtaugh who I think has doubt about the true identity of celeana maybe he doesn't realized she was aelin, her queen. but doubt about it, sure
and Ren "bedise him stood a young man Chaol knew by his soft, vicious laugh: the guard who had taunted him when he'd been held prisoner"



For the next books.. when she will get around the continent to find alleys. Can you imagine the encounter between aelin and the pirates' lord?ahahah I wanna see all these characters of the novellas, Yrene, Ansel, Ilias.. They will be of course alley to her and the whole thing, encounter, explanation will be great but the encoubter with the pirate ahahahah I can't stop smiling at the thought!! Celeana destroyed his isle and humiliated him. When he will discover, about her.. ahahahha
