What if we go on, only to more pain and despair? 
 Aelin had smiled at his question, posed on that rooftop in Rifthold. As if she had understood, long before he did, that he would find this pit. And learn the answer for himself. 
 Then it is not the end. 
 Actual rating: 4,5 stars 
 It was kinda slow from the beginning. Actually the entire part one was slow-paced. I really din't care or has any feeling for Nesyn at the start. But after part two with the relationship with Sartaq ((view spoiler)[ although there isn't much any chemistry between them (hide spoiler)]) I started to enjoy her storyline. 
 It's a fantasy book but it was some how really realistic. The struggle that Chaol had to endure and the journey to heal not his physical body but also his soul. 
 Sarah J Maas has some how managed to bring all the characters that had more than two dialogues from The Assassin's Blade in the main series, even the merchant from The Assassin and The Desert had a part in this book. And that has made me reread that short story. 
 Ahh the ending. It hurts so bad :( 
 (view spoiler)[ reading Chaol looked happy with Yrene and that ending where Aelin was about to be beaten by her torturer it was a torture for me, it was like a slap to my face. Ugh that Vlag queen Maeve. I want to kill her myself. (hide spoiler)] 
 I love Yrene after her examination with Chaol
