BEHOLD this goddamn book which made me cry in the last few chapters. this series is fantastic and is fabulous and if you haven't read it what are you even doing just read it. 
 HOWEVER. i was a tiny bit disappointed about this book. yes the action was amazing and there were so many times i just couldn't and i had to take a break because wow this is great but no.no.no.no. 
 what happened to Chaol? all the characters development from the first 3 books?? where have they gone?? it's so sad. Chaol is hands down my favourite male character and would always be. yea he wasn't fae or some magical male but he was someone that i really admired and loved. the way he opened up to Celaena/Aelin in ToG and CoM was really sweet and i loved it so much. also does anyone remember the conversation that broke a million people's hearts between Chaol and Celaena on his birthday because I DO. 
 "You love your country," she said. "I can't let you give all that up." He caught a glimmer of pain and hope in her eyes, and before he knew what he was doing , he'd closed the distance between them, one hand on her waist and the other on her shoulder. 
 "I'd be the greatest fool in the world to let you go alone." 
 what the hell happened to this?? Chaol isn't the selfish bastard in QoS, he was sweet and he was willing to give up everything he had to be with the woman he loved, not the pissy guy who fought with Celaena everyday. what is happening. 
 "But he could do this for her. Even if he never saw her again, even if she abandoned her duties as King's Champion and stayed with the Fae in Wendlyn forever-as long as he knew that she was safe, that no one could hurt her... He'd sell his soul again and again for that." 
 where was T H I S chaol. no my god. i felt as if chaol's character was shoved to the corner to look bad just to develop Rowan's character. tbh i don't care much about Rowan and his tongue either so let's not go there.

 yes i still love this series and i would be insanely excited for book #5 but i was really devastated over this change and it pissed me off for a good half of the book. until all the adventure started and the crazy amount of killing but hey i really hope the next book would be a whole lot better. i've come to accept that Chaolaena will not longer be end game but really what do i have to complain about? Nesryn is an amazing girl and Chaol deserves her as much as she deserves him. 
 that's all i have to say.
