The city and the castle were vividly described. We spend our time between Adarlan and castle where Manon and the other clans work for the Duke. Maas teased me unmercifully and had me second guessing and plotting possible outcomes. Power plays, manipulation, and politics have wreaked havoc creating enemies and alliances. The world is complex with its four kingdoms.

The villains, secondary characters, and creatures all added to the tale and had me flipping the pages lost within this world. Their banter and snide remarks gave normalcy to all around them. Rowan and Aedion are not just sexy, but hilarious. An interaction between her and Dorian had me lifting a brow. We aren’t going to be besties, but I was surprised by how much I felt for her. Manon, Wing Leader and Heir to the Blackbeak clan both infuriated and surprised me. Eldie proved interesting, and I am curious as to her role. In Queen of Shadows, Lysandra shines, and I loved the reveals. Her growth, struggles, love of others and need to protect place her on my favorite character list. I have felt frustration, sorrow, awe, anger, confusion, and pride. As Aelin has developed my emotions for her, have evolved. She is complicated, brave, brutal, and passionate.

Celaena/Aelin is a kick-ass assassin, Queen, and Fae. You will root for them, weep for them, become angry and spend hours trying to pair couples and destinies. Queen of Shadows offered another addictive installment.įive reasons to grab Queen of Shadows or begin Throne of Glass series I love how this series has evolved as different story threads have woven together. Maas despite buying the book on release day? I had forgotten how much I had enjoyed the brilliant world and characters within the Throne of Glass series. *Mutters* Why did I hold off reading Queen of Shadows by Sarah J.
