And Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen, knew the time would soon come to prove just how much she'd bleed for Erilea.

Her family--and her kingdom Two dreams long believed lost, she realized as the northern wind rufled her hair. That she would do anything ruin herself, sell herself to protect.

Rowan laughed again and Aelin thought she might never get sick of it, That smile. 

"Fireheart," he said onto her mouth. "Buzzard," she murmured onto his,

Rowan played with a strand of her hair grown almost to her breasts again. 

“No she had seen enough of the kindness and mercy of men She would never forget how those guards had leered at her naked body, why her uncle had sold her to Duke Perrington.

“She lifted her eyes toward the smoke-stained sky, the plumes parting for a heartbeat to reveal a star-flecked night. The Lord of the North flickered down at her. Perhaps the final gift of Mala to these lands this age, at least. Perhaps a thank-you to Elena herself, and a farewell. Because for Terrasen, for Erilea, Elena would walk into the eternal darkness lurking across the valley to buy them all a chance. Elena sent up a final prayer on a pillar of smoke rising from the valley floor that the unborn, faraway scions of this night, heirs to a burden that would doom or save Erilea, would forgive her for what she was about to do.”

“This war” she said quietly,”is but the second movement in a game that has been played since those ancient days across the sea.”

“Wondered if Erawan would first destroy her father's shining palace atop the mountain, or if he would burn the royal library--burn the heart and knowledge of an age. And then burn its people.”

“There would be no marker to tell the world where a Princess of Terrasen had fallen. There would be no marker for any of them.”

“Elena had never considered where she might die-never considered that it might be so far from the rocky green of Terrasen. That her body might not be burned, but devoured by the dread-lord's beasts.”

“She did not need the gift of her Fae ears to hear the prayers of her human army, both spoken and silent.”

“The bone drums had been pounding across the jagged slopes of the Black Mountains since sundown.”

Only the greatest sacrifice can turn the tide of war. War is brewing in the fifth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. The long path to the throne has only just begun for Aelin Galathynius as war looms on the horizon. Loyalties have been broken and bought, friends have been lost and gained, and those who possess magic find themselves increasingly at odds with those who don't. With her heart sworn to the warrior-prince by her side and her fealty pledged to the people she is determined to save, Aelin will delve into the depths of her power to protect those she loves. But as monsters emerge from the horrors of the past, dark forces stand poised to claim her world. The only chance for salvation lies in a desperate quest that may take more from Aelin than she has to give, a quest that forces her to choose what-and who-she's willing to sacrifice for the sake of peace. Kingdoms collide in this fifth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series.

Aelin had known, though. That he was her mate. And she had not pushed it, or demanded he face it, because she loved him, and he knew she’d rather carve out her own heart than cause him pain or distress.

His equal, his friend, his lover. His wife.

That gods-damned bitch had put her in an iron box.

She’d whipped his mate so brutally that he’d rarely seen such blood spilled as a result. Then chained her. Then put Aelin in a veritable iron coffin, still bleeding, still hurting.

To contain her. To break her. To torture her.

"Let's clean you up first. Set that nose and wrist. I'll tell you what I know while I do."

Lorcan reached out, grasping her chin and forcing her to look at him. Hopeless, bleak eyes met his. He brushed away a stray tear with his thumb. "I made a promise to protect you. I will not break it, Elide."

She made to pull away, but he gripped her a little harder, keeping her eyes on him. 

"I will always find you," he swore to her.

Aedion drawled, even as his relief began to crumble his mask of arrogant calmness, "The useless sentries in the watchtower are now all half in love with you," he lied. "One said he wanted to marry you."

A low snarl. He yielded a foot but held eye contact with her as he grinned. "But you know what I told them? I said that they didn't stand a chance in hell." Aedion lowered his voice, holding her pained, exhausted stare. "Because 

am going to marry you," he promised her. "One day. I am going to marry you. I'll be generous and let you pick when, even if it's ten years from now. Or twenty. But one day, you are going to be my wife."

Those eyes narrowed- in what he could only call female outrage and exasperation. 

He shrugged. "Princess Lysandra Ashryver sounds nice, doesn't it?"

She snorted. "You two look like you enjoyed your summer in Doranelle. How's sweet Aunt Maeve?"

Gavriel's tattooed hands closed into loose fists. "You deny me the right to see my son and yet you barge into our room in the dead of the night to demand we divulge information about our blood-sworn queen."  

Fenrys let out what might have been a choking sound. 

"It's your son's decision, not mine. I don't have enough time to oversee or really care." Lies. 

"Aelin is my heart. I taught her what I knew, and it worked because our magics understood each other deep down- just as our souls did."

congratulations sarah you just won the award for the author who makes me cry the most 🏆

the ending broke me into a million little pieces

no puedo con ese final, soy un mar de lagrimas

Lots to like. Action-packed, interesting plots, good character development. Also enjoyed how all of the plots converged into one another. Suffered from being too long, and being a bit too confusing at times. NOT thrilled to be jumping back in the timeline for Tower of Dawn. But… guess we’ll see!

Maya 

WTF IS GOING ON!!! Aelin has got to be one of the smartest mcs to ever exist. I just love to see all her plans fall into place. THE HUNT BEGINS!

I truly understand now why this is everyone’s favorite book in the series. This book! I can’t say anything because it’s so far into the story but I can ultimately say that Sarah J. Maas is one of the best authors who has so thoroughly thought out with storylines that seeing everything coming together is truly one of the best experiences you have when reading. I’m excited but so nervous to finish this series.

Best in the series so far, but the books leaves you on a massive cliffhanger.

This was exciting, but I didn't find the story super unique. I felt that the last 20% was the best part.

Never a boring page. Loved the characters‘ development and the unfolding storyline. I am on the edge of the seat for what comes next…

Z♡ 

4.5★ i read this in tandem with Tower of Dawn. 

this book took the series to a whole new level for me! prior to this i didn’t care much for many of the characters. but i loved this adventure, i love Manon (her chapters bored me to death in Queen of Shadows), and i can’t wait to read about the fates of Lorcan, Elide, Lysandra, Aedion, Dorian and of course, Aelin and Rowan.

The best one. So far. The amount of emotional damage this book gave me is beyond compare. Again, I loved seeing Aelins plans come together. All of her old debts she collected along the way coming to help— I can’t. I have a bad feeling about how this will end.
