WHAT THE FUDGE SARAH??!! Why do you have to do this to me! My heart is broken. You took my heart and broke it in two pieces... 
 What happend in QoS? Or the better question is why did it had to happen? 
 I will get my emotions now back on track because I have a lot to say about it but it won't be spoiler free! 
 (view spoiler)[So first of all, Chaol is my favourite character of all time and that is why this won't come to you as a surprise when I say: what's wrong with you Sarah? Why did you write him so bad and mean and with no emotions :( 
 That is so off character - I can't get over that fact and that is why I will give this 4 out of 5 stars. And because you took Celeana/Aelin and Chaol from me. You sunked my ship, Sarah. I have no hope left. 
 Unpopular opinion is coming - beware! 
 Rowaelin was so rushed. Why did they have to become lovers? They were friends or you could say best buddies in 'Heir of Fire' but why lovers? It would have been so refreshing to see Rowan and Aelin as best friends and not as love interest. 
 But still there have been other amazing things happening in QoS: 
 1. Lysandra is such a cool character. I haven't read Assasins Blade yet so I didn't know here before but oh my god she is awesome! Love her a lot and I think she would be so great together with Aedion. 
 2. Manon was the most bad-ass character and I like her a lot. Her progress and her changes were fantastic and I enjoyed reading every chapter with her and the Thirteen (especially Asterin). 
 3. Magic is BACK! Yay I love it. I'm so excited to see what is coming next. 
 4. Dorian is BACK as well and I'm so happy about it. I missed you a lot Dorian and I hope you will have a thing with Manon because I sensed your attraction clearly ;) 
 5. The King wasn't the big bad. That is an amazing twist. Mind-blowing!

 All in all I loved Queen of Shadows so much and I'm devastated that I have to wait for the next book. But the wait is totally worth it. Amazing book series!
