I tore through this book in 2 days! And I work a full time job!! I was not the biggest Chaol fan after the way things evolved with Aelin and him in QoS. But HOOOOOOLY SMOKES this book was good. Character development, check; world building, check; compelling storyline, check. It was everything I wanted and so much more. I laughed out loud, multiple times; I cried, multiple times. I felt all the things.
