I’m kinda annoyed at Rowan dropping lore about characters the first time he meets them because “he can smell it” 😭

But in more positive news, the scene where Aelin visits the graveyard with Rowan is beautiful. I miss Sam 💔

My immersion is breaking so bad in the scene where Aelin makes Aedion breakfast. It’s bad enough she already has a modern bathroom, but this girl also literally has a fridge, toaster, modern stove etc so she can make her bacon and egg toast for breakfast in her medieval fantasy world. 😭

“Manon Blackbeak, heir of the blackbeak witch-clan, bearer of the blade wind-cleaver, rider of the wyvern abraxos, and wing leader of the king of Adarlan’s aerial host,” jesus could that intro and all those titles be even longer or?? 😭
I still do not care for Manon and her chapters keep feeling like interruptions of the main story to me.
