Fae Queens, warriors, shape-shifters, magic, brutal kings,demon princes and courtiers, witches!! What else do I need? It's really is fantastic and was made even more magnificent with my buddy-read with Willa Willa, for you, when you said "yes!" 
 It was a whirlwind of shadows, death and a fire-breathing bitch queen! 
 By the Wryd, I spent days like a possessed zombie ghost with my brain stuffed with chronicles of Erilea. I was almost unwilling to finish it before the September, as then I would have to wait for the Empire of Storms. And I am dying, literally, with each passing day of agony.But... 
 A magnetic force so powerful that it kept me glued to it until the very end. 
 the story kicks of with Aelin back to reclaim her throne, now she has to get the Third Wrydkey from Abroynn, break one of the Towers to free magic and then kill the king and gain Terresan's throne. Easy, right? Not at all! Sarah is herself a Queen of twists that throw you the the other part of the world, intentisity that makes you toes curl and writing that makes you cry. Bravo! Sarah, bravo! Take all of my heart! 
 The story 
 It was just so so.. perfect! I perfect sequel to the Heir of Fire. You astound me and then inspire me Aelin! Fast paced, yet equally thrilling. Full of action and thrill, heartbreaking twists and thrilling climax with funny one-liners sprinkled here and there. All my ladies, Aelin, Lysandra, Manon, Nerswn and great Kaltian. You keep kicking ass of the Bad guys! 
 Oh my Dorian, I love you with all of my heart. In the beginning, I prayed for you. And I was there for you when you shattered the world apart.I will love you till the Worlds collide, I will love you till the last star of the galaxy burns out. And all the ladies out there, don't even think about it. HE. IS. MINE. You better give him a happy ending. *looking at you, Sarah* please please *puppy eyes* 
 Rowan is...is ....is nah, I can't describe him. I simply love him. You're the best Fae ever. Don't ever leave me. Chaol, annoying at first, but then again, he regained his senses and reclaimed the position of 'darling'. 
 Feels throughout the book: 
 When I saw Dorian being possessed, 
 Or the time, when Aelin went to Sam, 
 The time when Aedion, Rowan, Lysandra or Aedion would say something witty, 
 This doesn't even cover one twentieth of what I felt during the whole journey of Queen of Shadows. 
 I recommend it all the book nerds out there. It's fantastic. And if you don't read this one, well...what can i say. Look out for the Valg princes and the witches, they're coming for you.

 Pre-review 
 Wait, wait. I cannot find my heart. Can you please move aside? Is it there, my heart? No? Oh I thought so. Maybe I left it back at ErileaI have to find it. I need to find my brain too, my body is now running solely on adrenaline. Before that goes away I need to find my heart and my brain. 
 My words of wisdom will come later. It's my heart we're talking about, guys! It's important! 
 Do you think I should buy new ones? There's a new model in my nearby store. Moreover, my previous organ was all worn out, taped and glued in places. But, I miss it. 
 Donations for new heart and brain accepted.
