Aelin Galathynius's journey from slave to king's assassin to the queen of a once-great kingdom reaches its heart-rending finale as war erupts across her world. Like, when Lorcan first started hunting her I gasped out loud because hoLY SHIT THEY'RE PERFECT WHATTTT. One of the coolest images was when the Little Folk came to Aelin in the cavern. While Lorcan took most of the grunt work, along with the occasional help from Rowan and the rest of the Cadre, she was Lady of Perranth, and spent the day in meetings. Nesryn breathed, Holy gods. Chaol was inclined to agree as Aelin Galathynius, Rowan Whitethorn, and several others entered the tent. I loved everything about this scene. She has a crippled right foot, described as a mass of glossy scar tissue, leaving her foot twisted on its side.

Before the King gives his whole self over to the Lock and disappears he gives Aelin a message from her parents. They are fighting for something and someone they believe in for the first time. I knew SJM wasnt going to let all of our heroes survive, but it still hurts. I have no idea how I am going to write this review/recap. But Nehemia wasnt weak because of this. She gives Aelin the strength she needs to press on. You deserve it. Aelin tries to bargain with the gods. I had impossibly high hopes for this book. I teared up as Chaol did when he read his mothers words. Its already been an insanely epic scene, but Dorian goes a step further. His closest friend.

As Adarlan itself had been destroyed. Dorian then escapes with the key!!!! Also, I will mention this at least 2 more times in this post, but SJM is the QUEEN of writing crowns. And the sobs, the smile, the pure relief he knew Elide felt at the sight of the ruins, he would never forget that, either. And beyond. She would never be so again. Asterin stops the Ironteeth witch from yielding and using the tower. the spirit that could not be broken. Inside the Wyrdgate realm, Aelin and the King join hands to finish forging the Lock. Dorian tries to summon Gavin, but instead Kaltain appears. Elide hadnt heard Lorcan laugh with anyone besides her inwellever, she thought. I dont know how Sarah J. Maas does it. Which I think is just sweet. To fight for what she promised us. Darrow said quietly, And what was that? Manon smiled then. During her time under the warden-ship of Vernon, she had a nursemaid named Finnula, who taught her almost everything Elide knows, and as she did not have any other teachers, she cant read since Finnula could not. I had obviously cried many many times already in this book, but this was the first time I truly broke down. I know that there are thousands of nameless soldiers who also died during the war against Erawan and Maeve. Until we cant anymore. This is another example of SJM giving us a win and then ripping it away with doom! What this remarkable woman before him had done. I know you did, Lorcan, she said, lifting herself up a little to kiss his cheek. Aelin wasnt ready to let that go yet. I just loved that they did this. And neither did Aelin, who will have neither a long life with her own mate, nor eternity with him. Finally, after Dorian presses him, Gavin reveals that the third key is in Morath! After finishing off the ilken, Lorcan debates killing the innkeeper in vengeance for betraying Elide. And at his feet, all around him .

Their friendship is beautiful and I love how they found a way to be there for one another. Hed come to hope. Aelin opens a portal into what appears to be forest north of Terrasen. It works, but before Maeve leaves she tells Aelin that she will be bringing a collar back for Aelins neck. When she awakens she is completely healed and there is no evidence of the torture. Whatre you laughing at? Lorcans voice was rough, partly from the lack of sleep, partly fromwell, being woken up. After he reveals who he is Aelin is in shock. She starts to turn Erawan against Maeve. That was when he came up with his plan. This ends up being SUPER important! . God, I just love Chaol and Yrene. Can SJM just design our actual society?! Just as they were about to dig in without them, Lorcan and Chaol strode through the door, the two of themlaughing? As soon as Elide woke from the nights sleep, if all went according to plan, hed get her to smile. He wasnt a fan. Shes not ready to embrace her pain, but she wants to move on. The Lock is going to take everything from both of them. But if you wanna keep up with me follow me over on Instagram! I couldnt stop smiling when I read this scene! Aelin waits until she leaves the tent to break down. Later, in Anielle, the fight begins against Morath. Darrow decides to fight (he also apologizes to Aedion for being a huge dick!) . For the child she carried, she was not afraid. Alive After Aelin's parents were killed, Marion took her to a manor with her own daughter and told Elide to go upstairs and wait for her return. She is still fighting. As Adarlan itself had been destroyed.. That I get to be here. The irony wasnt lost on her. ILorcan, this is ridiculous! Sure, they didnt have to prepare dinner, or get the table ready, but theyd insisted. AND THEN He brings Morath down!!! "I crawled after Aelin." I think we can all agree that those two had one of the most epic scenes in the entire book! Dorian is crushed and so upset. She had been captured by Maeve, tortured by her. The stone altar. While in the war tent, Falkan enters (looking young again because Dorian killed the spider, Cyrene). As one, they looked to Maeve. The action-packed scenes, the adventure and danger the characters went on to get to where they needed to, and a lost princess/assassin who finally claimed her crown back. And Id never trade that, trade this. After Erawan there was much to be done and Elides eagerness to read shouldve been at the bottom of the list for the newly crowned Queen. . Elide didn't shift her focus from the keep ahead. He apologizes to Dorian and tells him that he wants to pay the debt for Dorian. MarionWitchling Aelin is reunited with Yrene!!! She would endure it again, if asked. WARNING: KINGDOM OF ASH SPOILERS AHEAD. Bronwen (Manons Crochan cousin) gives her a flower that was from the Wastes. Hope. And as Chaol Westfall dismounted and ran the last few feet toward Dorian, the King of Adarlan wept. I have loved you from the moment you picked up that axe to slay the ilken. Her tears flowed past him in the wind. Its real. It made me so happy when Elide said to Aelin, Who you are isnt your magic. Its exactly what Aelin needed to hear. Or whatever was left of it. She cant escape any of it. A gift? Before Elide, Lorcan didn't like casual touch; he almost cringes when she pats his knee in the early days of them knowing each other, when they're trying to sell their husband-and-wife gambit. Streams of blood stained the gold. She knows her worth and refuses to take any of his bullshit. The Thirteen had melted that tower. Lorcan leaves her on a beach and engages in battle with Maeve's armada. the epilogue was only three pages, but full of happiness. But it wasnt the clothes he stared at when he walked into the bedroomno, it was the small figure, fast asleep in bed. There, in his sons right hand, was a pair of scissors. This in turn makes Lorcan act like a regular person around her, which makes them both comfortable around each other. The relationships mended, character development, and the long awaited battle were Most days, if he was being honest, he felt little. Its going to break and flood everything in its path. I was dying! The only way Im going to get better is by reading things I enjoy, she snapped back, sitting up on their new couch. Over and over, she pounded against the lid. Plus, Elide is never really scared or intimidated of Lorcan in all the time she knows him, which is probably what makes it so easy for her to ultimately feel safe around him. It appears that they are going to make it through the gates and into the city. Elide promises, and then she and Manon run to the aerie. One look in the mirror told him all he needed to know. Not just this battle. I still believe that, BUT in light of the new information I am able to start forgiving him. A place where . All the way to the southern continent, it seemed. They are able to surprise Morath and force them to retreat long enough for Aedion, Lysandra, and all their forces to escape into the city. Elide falls asleep sitting at the end of Lorcan's bed as he sleeps. Rebuilding could wait. Manons speech is powerful, incredible, and emotional. They were coming in hordes and not even the army Aelin had amassed could keep them from breaking through and continuing their ruthless attack, red blood mixing with black. Not for them. How strange. Physical description Yes, she would go home with him to the southern continent. And until thenthough it might take an adjustment periodhed get used to the new look. Per Maeves orders, Cairn brings Aelin to an army camp where he will have his final session with Aelin. Rowan smiledfierce and feral and wicked. He brings down all the Valg around him, but unfortunately hes not quick enough. They are all going to return to the Wastes as one people. Maybe hed ask her about it tonight, if she wasnt asleep before he came home and crawled into bed. . She grinned right back at him. I do hope they can work through this and find a way to be together. But we need Lorcan to cut off his blood oath to Maeve and become friends with Aelin again because Elide and Aelin CANNOT split. Now, to commemorate this morning of relaxation, I got you a gift. Maeve tries to claim that she has broken a part of Aelin. They make each other happy, and it is strongly hinted at the end . . She has to conserve her power and trick them into thinking she still has her unbelievable fire-bringer power. Do Lorcan and elide get together? She is being so thoroughly tortured.

Until the blast site was covered, as if a garden had grown from a field of blood. Far away, in the Wastelands, a flower blooms for the first time since the curse. So will Manon will bind her life to Dorian too? She is ready to fight for a better world. Aelin begins to open up to Rowan. I hope there is lots of them in the upcoming book. So its no secret that I was not a fan of Lorcan at the end of Empire of Storms. I love how happy the two are together. The story takes places following the events of Kingdom of Ash, and *potentially* has a slight crossover with the Crescent City novels, specifically House of Earth and Blood (if you haven't read those books you should still be able to follow along with no problem--though there might be a small spoiler). Nesryn, Chaol, and Yrene reveal all they learned in Tower of Dawn: Maeve is Valg, Maeve fears healers and fire, Spiders are Valg and her minions, Yrene and the healers can cure human Valg hosts, and Maeve keeps the owl (an enslaved fae) at her side to protect her if Erawan ever finds her. I was crying right along with them. When Rowan said. It is the strength of this that matters. Aelin extends Ren the invitation to join her court. Oh my god, did I lose it when Aelin, Dorian, and Chaol said goodbye to one another. Somehow, his eldest child of six years got a hold of a pair of scissors in the house. . All seems lost for our heroes, but just in the nick of time Aelin shows up with the huge force from the Khagan!! He then uses Maeves power against her and captures her mind! Manon is going to go to the Wastes with the witches. And there was Aedion at the thrones left. This is the first time he has felt her since the beach in Eyllwe. That wouldnt stop her from teasing him about it, though. Elide played the act of a small timid and frightened girl, but spent her time at Morath secretly looking for ways to escape the prison that she was being held in. It seems like every time she gets a win, she learns that there are even more insanely difficult challenges ahead. Nesryn, Chaol, and Yrene reveal all they learned in. But for Elide, he would always smile. Side note While on their way there, Rowan redoes Aelins tattoo on her back. Elide Lochan is the daughter of Cal and Marion Lochan, the Lady of Perranth, and a member of the Blackbeak Witch-Clan. There is so much about this that I love. Herself. Im so glad that Chaol is finally free from his fathers control and scorn. I knew she wasnt going to escape yet, but I was cheering her on while she tried to break free! The entire world seemed to pause with her, lingering on that threshold. Elide watched as Lorcan brushed off all of his windows and scraped the windshield of ice. My heart broke into a million pieces for Aedion. They catch up with her in Eyllwe, where Elide reunites with not only Aelin but Manon as well, who she was told had died. I get he is Fae but Rhysand is fae and he let Feyre do whatever she wanted. A moment later, Chaol was glad he was sitting down. SJM did an incredible job of conveying the emotion, hopelessness, suffering, and pain. I cant imagine facing the loss of someone as important to me as Fenrys is to Aelin. And maybe that would take the weight off her shoulders. . You do not yield. Lorcan has previously been characterised as a violent warrior. The queen had come to hold the gate. Most days, if he was being honest, he felt little. This leads to the GREATEST SURPRISE EVER . Elena helped Aelin, Dorian pressed, his breath curling in the space between them. The queen had come home at last. This is your morning to relax, Elide. But then the coolest things happens. Like what he did was soooo so horrible, and looking at it from Elides side is just ughh cause her mother literally died trying to save Aelin and Lorcan made her sacrifice worth nothing because of what he did. Cyrene leads Dorian, Manon, and the Thirteen to a group of Crochan witches. In Empire of Storms, Elide thinks that "if she were to ever feel desire, it'd be a result of trusting someone so much that those horrors faded away, a result of knowing they would fight tooth and claw to keep her free and never lock her up or hurt her or leave her." Obviously, they are both strong independent people, but they are incomplete without each other. She wouldnt have it any other way. Dorian still has his magic and it is still mighty, but it is also less. She would live. Gods above, Chaol was walking again. Their next vacation, Elide decided, would be in Orynth. I cant imagine facing the loss of someone as important to me as Fenrys is to Aelin. Rowan stood to the right of the throne, teeth bared ina fierce grin that even his training could not contain. He would not obey. She was also surprised the Aelin let her get to where Sarah wanted Aelin to be. Next: After Aelin toasts a bunch of the ilken, ash falls from the sky, some of it landing on Elide's hair. Rhysand helps her and slows her down!! Elide & Lorcan: "I didn't crawl after Maeve." She halted, hair swaying. . . Smiled with that fierce hope, that brutal determination that flare in her own heart, as she began to burn. . We fight.. She uses this opportunity to trap Aelin. And so for Perranth, for his new home and his new people, he would rebuild. A vision of old, reborn once more. Ask the Author. She will be nothing and gone forever. In Morath, Vernon assigned Elide to be a servant and had her legs chained, preventing her from running away and making her limp even more pronounced. Aelin realizes that Nehemia willingly gave everything for Eyllwe, but still felt burdened and wished she didnt have to give everything. I love how amused Rowan was at Aelins shock! And married to Yrene Towers, who had healed him. My friends.. He apologizes to Dorian and tells him that he wants to pay the debt for Dorian. Hafiza basically tells her to shut the hell up because Yrene saved everyone!!! At this same meeting, Maeve brings in Connall, who is Fenrys twin brother. All Aelin has had for the past few months is Fenrys. It would not be her story. When iron melts, Petrah murmured, her blue eyes swimming with tears. For knowing shed wanted that thingthat damned prisondestroyed the minute she walked into Perranth, but hadnt had the nerve to speak it aloud. There are some many gut-wrenching quotes Im just going to list them. Gently, Rowan gripped her wrists and lowered them. They are fighting for something and someone they believe in for the first time. I loved everything about this scene. They refuse to go down without one last stand. It was such cool imagery and so meaningful for Aelin. To have that woman by his side for the rest of his days. After all the amazing, emotional reunions, Aelin states, Shall we discuss where you all plan to march once we beat the living shit out of the army. Its such a perfect Aelin quote. I love how brilliant Elide is. She forged the Lock and closed the gate for good which prevents Erawan from being able to open the portal, BUT the gods wouldnt take Erawan. I love the consistency and sense of it all; it makes their relationship feel natural, and it makes them feel more real, as though they're real people with real reasons for the way they're acting.
