For once, I can finally say that I enjoy an excellent multi-POV book if the stories are all equally fascinating. For this book specifically, I enjoyed seeing how the characters think about each other and the plot in their own words. It was fascinating to get into Chaol's head, mainly because you saw how much he would do for Aelin and Dorian. I thought Dorian spent most of this book brooding and being mopey until three-quarters of the way through, and the ending was a banger for him. Manon was a delight; I cannot wait to see more of her and the 13 in the upcoming books. Rowan irked me for the first few chapters he was in, but BOY, does he grow on you. I'm hoping after the second half of the book that the rest of the series keeps at this pace, I'm ready for things to get epic.
