I didn't know what I expected would happen when Aelin met Chaol, but I loved it. It shows how they both vastly changed. Chaol is now thinking for himself rather than following blindly. While Aelin is now thinking of herself first, causing two characters that I thought had some really great insight but never truly acted on it to but heads as they butt heads on fairly equal emotional footing.
