I love it when all of the threads put into motion throughout a series collide. There were just so many epic parts in this book!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<!-- more --><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Plot:<\/span> Everything is coming together in this book. So many plot threads, so many things I&#8217;ve been waiting to happen finally commence. The plot is a wild ride with many twists and an epic conclusion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Characters: <\/span>Celaena who now has embraced her true name as Aelin has really grown so much across the books and you really see that here as she finally starts sinking into her role as queen.&nbsp;I really saw how far Aelin has come in this book. She\u2019s really taken ownership of her fae lineage and I really like the chemistry between her and Rowan. They\u2019re really meant for each other. I love her cousin relationship with Aedion. I don\u2019t see these enough in books as I\u2019ve mentioned before.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">All of Dorian\u2019s chapters as he\u2019s trapped inside the demon prince\u2019s control are very intense. I love how Maas had them be very short for the majority of the time, so it was just getting a peek into what\u2019s going on with him.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">In Assassin\u2019s Blade, I disliked Lysandra a lot, but now I really enjoyed her as a character. She\u2019s clever, kind, and a really deep character. I love how her and Aelin bond over chocolate.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Manon\u2019s plotline, at last, comes into play and merges with Aelin\u2019s. I like her dynamics with Elide and of course, I still love Abraxos. He\u2019s too good for Manon. XD&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">The villains are terrifying and definitely very formidable opponents to the main characters. I especially hate Vernon and how he treats poor Elide. The Valg are just horrible and abominations.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Setting:&nbsp;<\/span><\/span><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">I just love the worldbuilding in these books and all of the cultural details like bringing stones to graves instead of flowers in Terrasen or in witch culture witchlings and being pregnant with a witchling is sacred.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Epic Things: <\/span>Ghost leopards are super cool. I love that the witches have all different colored eyes depending on clan and such. Is it weird that I find that a temple built with the bones of murderers and thieves is morbidly fascinating?&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">The Theme:<\/span>&nbsp;Kindness is a big one. Kindness given to characters books ago come into play. It just shows how much one act of kindness can impact others.&nbsp;<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Another big one that\u2019s rung true throughout the books but I thought was encapsulated in this quote is art and how important it is.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span><br \/>\n<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"tr_bq\"><p>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">\u201cWhen you shatter the chains of this world and forge the next, remember art is as vital as food to a kingdom.

It&#8217;s my biggest gripe of the book. Why is. There. So. Much. Profanity? There&#8217;s&nbsp;73 uses of d***, 59 uses of sh**, 47 uses of h***, 28 uses of a**, 24 uses of ba****d, 12 uses of pr***, and 10 uses of b****. Yeah, I counted. The swear words are in the hundreds. That&#8217;s a little much. I get that some people swear a lot, but come on. Do we really need this much swearing in a novel?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">There is significant violence with beheading, torture, people covered in blood, a severed head, nose bleeds, ear bleeds, branding, a child is mentioned to have been stillborn then burned, ripping bodies to the bone with claws, and a spine is pulled out of a person\u2019s body then broken in half. Yeah. Ouch with that last one. Also, the process of the witches being implanted with demonic stones is very disturbing and again I really don\u2019t recommend this book for young readers. No one under 16 I would say.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">There is also significant sexual content with strong sexual tension between characters, kissing, lots of prostitutes, a lesbian couple mentioned, a character wears a scanty nightgown, and nudity that describes breasts. There\u2019s also a conversation about boobs and Lysandra mentions how she hates how hers are so big because they make her back hurt, but for me, as a large chested woman, I\u2019m like THANK YOU! YES, THEY\u2019RE A PAIN!<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\">Aelin frequently mentions how she\u2019s irritated with fae territorial metaphorical pissing contests. One character gives someone the bird. Also there\u2019s demonic possession if you haven\u2019t figured that out by now.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif; font-size: large;\">What We Can Take Away For Our Writing:<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>1.) Changing a Character&#8217;s Name &#8211;&nbsp;<\/b>I actually had to remember that Celaena has changed her name back to Aelin when the book began since there was a bit of a gap for me between reading this book and the previous. But the name change really had great symbolism of change in the character internally. She\u2019s not the same woman she was in the last three books. Maas did a good job of writing Aelin\u2019s point of view so I could figure out that she is Celaena without her outright stating it.<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><b>How this applies to writing: <\/b>Have you thought of your main character undergoing a name change? How will that impact him or her?<\/span><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><br \/><\/span> <span style=\"font-family: &quot;georgia&quot; , &quot;times new roman&quot; , serif;\"><span style=\"font-size: large;\">Conclusion:<\/span> I would have preferred less content, but I have to admire the skillful writing and I love the dynamic characters.
