Queen Of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas

 

My Thoughts

This is actually book 5 of this series and you do have to read the first four to appreciate this one. 

This is the best book so far. At least I think it is..

This book has more action and going on than the previous books. It shows more of the witch clan and more from other characters introduced earlier. Some I now like when before I didn't. lol What Celeana/Aelin does in this book is so tough. She is truly a tough young woman. 

Rowan makes an appearance in this one too. He comes in at a time when Aelin needed to see him again. 

While magic is gone they are still a force to be reckoned with. The Valgs are multiplying and the witches are being forced to mate with them. Not in a usual mating way though. It's more than that. 

Elide finally gets stronger in this book too. I really liked her and hope she will be in the future books in this series. I'm sure she will. Along with the witches. 

Dorian is under the Valgs spell and is about to give in. Let's hope he can fight that darkness. I still hate the King regardless if he's being honest or not in the end. He got power hungry.

There is more to come and I look forward to it. I look forward to reading about Aelin reigning as the Queen. I look forward to the war that is coming. The action and hopefully a few people taken down for the awful things they did. 

This book has so much going on but it's not hard to follow. It's all in perfect alignment. All happens as it should. And Aelin got her dog back. He's where he belongs again. 

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading the last three...

About

Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past…

She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return.

The fourth volume in the New York Times bestselling series continues Celaena’s epic journey and builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.
