4.0

I really liked the atmosphere and the descriptions of nature and the magic it contains. It was a timely read - right when i was in the mood for something nature / forest related. It was a quick and immersive read. If you feel like hiking or going into nature and connect with it but for some reason you can't do it in real life, this book really helps with that. It was a relaxing and refreshing to read, especially with the heat wave we've had recently. I've had a really good time with this book and am really happy to have read it! ❤️

"I’ve never been able to quiet my mind on the best of days, let alone the days that leave me replaying every little detail until I want to scream.
Pike says there’s complete silence in space, that sound can’t travel, and I wonder if that could extend to my thoughts. I wonder if I could float up and up and up, and at some great height my mind would just…still."

"What is coincidence if not a subtle form of magic?"

3.5

She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and she would not be afraid.

3.5☆ but I still enjoyed it pretty much a lot. I couldn't put it down.
The writing is really good, addictive. The world, the magic, Celaena's adventures - all were very interesting to see. Not gonna lie, I was here mainly for Celaena kicking the King's ass and Chaol and Dorian helping her in that. I mostly enjoyed the book, however! There were triggering upsetting moments present (

descriptions of Celaena's past in Endovier, Manon's cruelty and her grandmother's, Maeve's cruelty, cruelty towards wyverns

). Those moments quite ruined the enjoyment of the book, that's why 3.5 stars and not 4 or more, alas. Other than that I really loved this book, as much as I did with previous two in the series.
P.S. it's really cute that Sarah Maas included her dog in acknowledgements!
