A bittersweet but good ending to this book. I had forgotten so many details of this one, and it was a really good reread. I think I feel a lot differently about these characters now (especially Chaol) and I appreciate and love them even more.
Ending quotes- “She hoped” and “Then she stepped beyond the stone.” So many new beginnings. So excited for the tandem read next.

Yall thought I was done huh-NOPE (almost)
‘ “Aelin,” he gasped out, and the voice was his.’
‘ “To a better future.” She said. “You came back,” he said, as if that we an answer ‘
“They were infinite. They were the beginning and the ending; they were eternity” AND THEY JUST LIKE… DONT END UP TOGETHER?!? Or soMETHING? The amount of ship quotes these two have.. for them to be just friends..

Binge read- so here’s some fun quotes 🥲
“They tried to shoot my… Rowan through the heart”
“There, branded on Asterin’s abdomen in vicious, crude letters was one word-“
“You make me want to live, Rowan. Not survive; not exist. Live”
“Witch Killer— the human is still inside him”
“Let’s go rattle the stars”
“His name was Dorian” 😭

“I’ll bleed whatever color you tell me to” the rizz master is back 🙌🏻
The queens had a little fight, and now Manon owes her life to her enemy, lols.

“With a gentleness that cracked her heart, he set the pebble on the tombstone beside her own” UGH I love how they both honor each other’s loved ones so much 😭 they’re so understanding of each other 🥺

BUZZARD IS BACK
I swear, him and the Suriel from Acotar would be besties with all the tea they love dropping, what the heck. If you have a secret you’re ever trying to keep hidden, just hope Rowan doesn’t smell it on you 🥲

“I don’t know why I was ever nervous you would start bowing and scraping” “Where would the fun be in that?”
Hehe I love their friendship so much, and I’m so glad they actually became friends.

“There was a thing waiting in the darkness”
“He could not remember his name”
“He deserved this darknes”
Dorian 😭 noooo
….. anyways QUEEN IS COMING BACK HOME
