Im going a lil faster! I’m digging the mirroring of Aelin/Abraxos in two of the povs, which makes the switching more likeable. I think this book feels so long because I’m grieving many characters while accepting new. Also- now reading- I can’t believe Rowan is a love interest with how he treats Aelin. Trying to aide her or not- Rowan emotionally + physically destroys her repetitively. I’ll give him a chance.

This book again, is taking me forever, because it feels like three different books at once with the changing POVs. I’ve grown to accept romance is not the main theme in this series- and there are horrific elements- but when books lack both of the main genres I read I kind of teeter through. I’ve also been very busy so maybe this is just a one off lol.. just kidding as an adult I only read slow apparently. :(

“She was meant to be here. She'd have
Titus or no other.
Because she'd suffer no creature to be her mount but the fiercest, the one whose blackness called to her own. As her eyes met with the endless dark of Titus's, she smiled at the wyvern.
She could have sworn he smiled back.”

Okay.. I am still dragging through this first leg here.. but I may be swayed if SJM keeps giving me chills like this excerpt did..

SJM.. you’re introducing a lot of new characters already.. it confusing my little brain.. I thought we were done with new main characters and now I’m scared.. don’t let me down this far into the series pleaseeee ;3;…
