My heart is broken. SJM, what have you done to my beloved characters? 
 Do you know that feeling when somebody really hearts you? This pain in the heart? 
 I had this feeling on every Chaol scene. 
 I NEVER EVER READ A BOOK IN MY LIFE WHICH PHYSICALLY MADE ME UNCOMFORTABLE. NEVER EVER. 
 Seriously, when I think about what happens to Chaol in this book, I get the same feeling like when I am lovesick. Just this pain in the chest. PHYSICAL SICKNESS BECAUSE OF EMOTIONAL PAIN. 
 I can't believe what I read. 
 I can't believe how popular and good rated it is. 
 Come on guys, did you read the first books? 
 It's like an entire new series. 
 I can't believe it. I waited so long for this book. 
 I heard so much good things of it. 
 I MEAN THIS HYPE WAS HUGE. 
 And I am so disappointed. Everybody talks about Ronan and badass Aelin and how epic this whole queen/fae stuff is. 
 It could be. If there were not THRONE OF GLASS and CROWN OF MIDNIGHT. THE TWO FIRST BOOKS. 
 CELEANA LOVED CHAOL. CHAOL WAS A GOOD PERSON. CELEANA WAS ANOTHER PERSON. 
 Because Aelin is so hypocritical. The diva queen can't stop blaming other people (Chaol) while she is even worse. Come on. Chaol did not kill Nehemia. He was loyal and he was egoistic. And he tried to save her. 
 She can't forgive him one death. 
 But Aelin/Celeana is an assasin. She kills like 30 people per book. She sometimes enjoys killing them. This characters killed by her might have family too and wanted to live too. And just because they are only soldiers, their deaths are not less bad (can I say that?) than killing Princess Nehemia. 
 I have a confession to made. When I started reading the series. I was Team Dorian. But soon I realised that I was sailing with the wrong ship. So I read the first book again. And started loving Chaol. Their love story was so cute and authentic. Like I'll never forget how Celeana fought with Cain and he helped her. I literally feel the same pain as with lovesickness right now. I won't read the series a third time, just because SJM thinks that Chaol is not hot, powerful and tall enough to be the man on Celeanas side. 
 I loved the story when Celeana and Chaol built up a friendship and slowly fell in love. 
 But Rowan and Aelin felt like a bad copy of it. I mean, he is soooo boring. Sure Rowan is hot and tall and a fae prince and the best warrior in the world, but he is just not interesting. He is this typical sex bomb blabalasjassjdsdsjdsldsld and they hate each other first and now she is his queen and they ride on unicorns into a rainbow sunrise and are super powerful and priviliged and everything is badass yeah. 
 They both were so annoying. 
 It's like a crazy fanfic of the originial story. Like E.L. James on psychedelic fairytale drugs rewriting another novel. 
 Or like SJM is cutting the best pieces of famous fantasy novels (Lord of the Rings or Game of Thrones) out and puts them all together. It was too much epicness. When every character is awesome, nobody seems special anymore. 
 What was the diffrence again between all their abilities? I often asked myself that. 
 WHY IS EVERY KID BETWEEN 17 - 25 super beautiful, badass and has some crazy magic abilities? 
 It's just too much with every character being something super special and ruling the world. 
 Except of Chaol. He is portrayed as the human fool, but on my opinion he is the Pinata for Aelin. 
 It is so cheap how SJM tries to write a new love interest into his life. Like come on, you have like super powerful witches and bitches and queens and shapeshifters and he gets a girl who is baker's daughter and is even more boring than Rowan? Even Nehemia had more character in this book than Nesryn!! 
 What do we know about Nesryn? She is good with bow and arrow. Her dad is a baker. Yeah, that's it. BUT WHY AT LEAST INTRODUCING THE LOVE INTEREST TO GIVING CHAOLS CHARACTER JUSTICE WHEN YOU CAN TALK HUNDREDS OF PAGES HOW AWESOME AND BADASS ROWAN AND AELIN ARE????????????????????????????????????????????????? 
 Am I excited for Chaols Novella? 
 No. 
 Because this book looks like a cheap excuse for everything. I will still read it and I hope she will fix everything she ruined. Even death would be better. + the story looks kind of boring with Chaol and the lame Nasryn being far away from everything interesting. 
 She should have better killed him in my eyes. 
 What was happening with Chaol in this book? 
 (I loved when he stood up against Aelin, only to read 100 pages later that even himself thinks that the queen of terrasen is right and that he is a coward, and a fool and a bad person blablaba.) 
 Now he is broken. 
 EVEN PHYSICALLY. COME ONNNNNNN SJM DID YOU NOT HAD ENOUGH FUN IN QUEEN OF SHADOWS WITH CHAOL? YOU LITERALLY PUT HIM IN A WHEEL CHAIR. 
 I am not judging. 
 But I think it is offensive how a persons reputation is destroyed through the book and at the end put in wheel chair. 
 And then send this person away. Like he is a burden. 
 I am pretty sure SJM would never ever put ROWAN in a wheel chair. 
 That just shows how hart she is trying to kill Chaol's reputation. 
 Oh and I really do not understand all of the ancestor BRANNON/ELENA/GAVIN stuff and who is related to who. 
 And then there are also gods like Temis and Hellas and Deanna. (They reminded me of greek/roman gods) but they are mixed together with the ancestors and I really don't understand everything anymore. 
 I'll need the TOG guide. Soon. 
 POSITIVE STUFF: 
 But I have to admit that the plot was still good. The world building gets more complicated and far more interesting (but sadly also more unrealistic). 
 And some of the characters were really cool. I liked Manon. But I liked Asterin more. Another example were being as physically strong and beautiful as Manon does not make you to the real hero. Asterin was way more heroic. She risked her life and stood up for her family even though she know about her consequences. 
 Manon is not as brave as her. 
 Also I liked Aedion and Lysandra. And Caltain. Even Arobynn was more interesting than some of the main characters. 
 Oh and I liked the king. :-) 
 The plot was the best thing. SJM definetly writes good plots and it is always so exciting. Never boring. But sadly, because of what she did with the characters I could almost enjoy no page. 
 Morath chapters were the best and the witches were definetly my favourite characters in this book. 
 It is not the first time I read this. 
 And this is kind of sad, because this book was meant to be about Aelin but many people want to read way more about Manon. (I spy a romance next book with Dorian.) 
 I hope so much that empire of storms will be better. I am pretty sure I will like the series more without Chaol in it. Just because it is hurts to much. 
 I don't have a big problem with Celaena or Rowan, just in the constellation with Chaol. 
 I even enjoyed the book when there were no scenes where Chaol was destroyed by SJM. 
 I can't give my favourite series up. 
 SO PLEASE SJM. 
 FIX IT. 
 Because what you did to Chaol. Not okay 
 #chaolwestfalldefensesquad 
 0-1 stars for this huge disappointment. 
 Still I have hopes for a better TOG - WORLD. I won't give up. 
 Sorry for any mistakes. Its 4 in the morning and the anger came over me.
