I’m actually quite liking the relationship between the female main character and Dorian and Chaol. I am wondering, however, how this woman turns into this powerful fairy like creature named Aelin

I started this book pretty much immediately after I finished the cruel prince. School starts tomorrow and I am determined to finish ethos book before school starts. I’m not skimming pages either. I’m genuinely into this

I have to say that I was not expecting balkin to be the prince that they kidnapped to the sea. For some reason, it just never occurred to me. What an easy target he would’ve been. He’s already been scheming with the sea people so why not take him instead of the other two heirs. It makes complete sense. I did however suspect ghost to be the mole. So that wasn’t entirely surprising

I find it extremely annoying and stupid that Viví just refuses to tell Heather the truth of her entire life. She is actively putting Heather in danger by not telling her anything she had months to prepare Heather and yet she did not. She continuously lied to her and this puts her in danger

And the reason that isla once Cleo Dead. is purely for her own vendetta. How dare she gets mad at Oro for not wanting a huge chunk of his population to die? At the end of the day, he is king and he rules over all of them. It might be hard, but for nightshade to die, it makes so much more sense, considering they are not a part of the island

I don’t like isla. She immediately wants to put all the blame on Cleo when she has no real proof of anything… Only assumptions. She is even informed that Cleo does not want her dead yet every bad thing that happens as apparently Cleo’s fault. In this way, isla is so incredibly immature and not fit to be a ruler because she is selfish and inconsiderate and impulsive

Additionally, I think that Isla is just plain out stupid. She’s so full of herself that she thinks that the fact that she doesn’t have power as the thing that’s going to destroy her when Oro has said multiple times that the hardest part about this game is that they have to pick an aisle that would not do them all if they killed the ruler of it. Her aisle is not in danger of that but she thinks about is herself

Isla is just such a hypocrite. She always thinks the worst of everyone and she thinks she’s the center of everyone’s story which… She’s not. She thinks Cleo is going to kill her this entire book, but she was never her target or Azuls. She has lied to oro so many times and she expects him to tell her the truth. She probably doesn’t believe anything he says because she knows that she is such a liar

So far, I’m really liking the relationship between Isla and Oro I know from spoilers that Isla and Grim are married, however… Didn’t he wipe her memories so now, it’s like she’s living a new life and in this one she has a chance at love for Oro. I really hope that just because she started off with grim doesn’t automatically mean that she’ll end up with him. I’m tired of shadow daddies

Isla has too much pride and audacity. I also don’t see how she’s likening grim considering she doesn’t have that many interactions with him

I am having such a hard time getting through this book. I hate it. It feels like a repeat of the first book. Lyra is going through trials again this time the trials are made by a mixture of gods and Titans. Even though Lyra has relived history multiple times, that still doesn’t explain the feigned wisdom that she has because at the end of the day, she’s still 24 and she doesn’t remember anything that happened.

I like how witty and sassy Cardan is

Well… I did not expect the ending to part one of this book. I can’t believe that the majority of the royal family just died. That really pushed Cardans position to King up real quickly

I’m at the part where Jest died. I’m kind of confused. How did this happen? I thought Peter was going to kill Catherine so how did Jest get in the middle of it? Did he run in front of her to try to stop it? And did he die in the process? I thought Raven was going to be the murderer.

I am legitimately so mad at Catherine. Her fate was drawn out in front of her if she entered any of the doors. And what does she do? After a whole night of walking through the maze to get to Chess, she goes through one of the doors to save a girl who betrayed her and ruined her life! Catherine had just doomed them all and I’m so mad at her. She is so selfish for that.

I knew Mary Ann would end up being a snake. That jealous wetch. As for Catherine, is she seriously, considering becoming a queen after she promised to not become a queen! And her becoming a queen and with Jest now having her heart, is that going to be the reason that he dies at the end? he’s going to feel obligated to his duties and her becoming queen compromises that a lot.

Here are my theories, I think Mary Ann is secretly going to betray Catherine. Mary Ann is very set on the idea of Catherine marrying the king. So I think she’s going to spill Catherine secrets and she is the reason that they cannot be together. The Jabberwock is either a manifestation of Catherine’s turmoil, since it only appears where Catherine is or it is actually Lady Peter.

I also have another theory, we already know that Catherine’s pleasant dreams are manifesting into real life. We know this with the rosebush that grows in her room and the lemon tree and even gesture that she dreams of. But when she is having negative feelings, is that manifesting in real life? When she was freaked out about marrying the king, some scary creature appeared while she was unconscious

This is just a theory, but, our dream is magical in Wonderland? Is everyone’s dream magical and manifests? Or is it just Catherine whose dreams manifest in into real life. And is Catherine manifesting her dream boyfriend as the gesture? Because he appeared out of nowhere apparently. And apparently this gesture has something that she is missing… Is that her heart?
