** spoiler alert ** 
 FINALLY I AM BACK ON TRACK. 
 It took me awhile to finish this book although I could've read it faster, it's just that I'm currently on my semestral break and I'm out of the country, so my reading game is not that strong but do not fear, it's not a reading slump!! 
 Okay. Queen of Shadows. Oh My Goodness. 
 Out of all the books, this is the book wherein Aelin was an actual leader. She was such a strong character, out of all the heroines we have out there in the fiction world, I honestly believe that Aelin, (in this book), ranked number 1. Her story and her decisions throughout the story really showed her true self. It was as if in the past 3 books, she was still a young girl, a young girl that could not move on from her past, that struggled in dealing with her emotions and feelings. But here, in QoS, I saw the real Aelin and I'm positive that things will only get better. 
 I missed Dorian throughout the story, I just really wished he was a part of the gang in the warehouse when all the action was happening. But I'm glad he made it out alive, better than him being dead anyways. In terms of romance, oh my fucking gosh, I need Rowan and Aelin to be endgame. I swear. PLEASE. Oh my god it just needs to happen. I let go of Chaol and her already, I liked that they had the "talk", to have some closure between them. I don't know what's in store for Dorian and Aelin though, I'm sure that their relationship will blossom some more in the next books but as for now, it's Rowan and Aelin that needs to sail for me. 
 (Rowan is hot. He is bae. I'm Rowan trash.) 
 Anyways, this is now the part that I do not like. At all. Which is waiting for the next book, I seriously binged read (well you know what I mean) this series. And now I don't know how to move on. My bookshelf is at home, I'm thousands of miles away so now I'm just really confused with what to read next. BUT LOL ANYWAYS GOING BACK TO THE REVIEW, 
 Rowaelin needs to happen. This series is really amazing, a few bumps along the way with the past books but this 4th one though, for real, this shit is epic shit. Go read it. Someone give Sarah J. Maas an award.
