The Plot:
"The queen has returned.
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." - Goodreads.
Review:
Oh my god. Queen of Shadows was absolutely jam packed full of twists and turns, some of which I did not see coming at all! It was so wonderfully written and gripping that I devoured every single page as fast as I could. I really liked the fact that everything seems to be coming together now and you can just feel that something big is coming in the next two books. I'm so excited I need the fifth book already, I don't know how I'm going to survive!
Now it's time for the nitty gritty. Yes that's right, I'm talking about Rowan and Aelin. At first I didn't want them to be together because I liked their friendship too much, and part of me still clung onto hope for her and Chaol. But throughout this book as their relationship blossomed and they realised their feelings for one another I soon changed my mind. Talk about sexual tension though, Christ. They're both huge teases and the next book better have a Rowan and Aelin scene or else I'll explode.
I also really enjoyed the character development from Manon and her thirteen. When we were first introduced to them we were led to believe that they were just soulless killers, but in this book they started to reveal their softer sides and are starting to refuse to be blindly obedient. There's a real sense of girl power with the witch covens that I just love. I really hope that she ends up teaming up with Aelin, could you imagine the badassery?
I adore Sarah J Maas's writing style, she writes action so well that you just can't help but turn the page and yearn for more. Her characters are so unique and well written that you can't help but care about them. The amount of times I was terrified that Aedion or Rowan were going to die and leave Aelin, not cool. I don't think my heart would be able to handle that.
I cannot wait for the fifth book to come out and find out what happens next, something big is coming I can feel it.
