Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4) by Sarah J. Maas
Blurb:
The queen has returned.
Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. But she’s at last returned to the empire—for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past…
She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.
She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen’s triumphant return.
The fourth volume in the New York Times bestselling series continues Celaena’s epic journey and builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.
My Review:
Queen of Shadows is the fourth book in the Throne of Glass series and I'm still really loving this series. Aelin has returned to Adarlan from Wendlyn seemingly just in the nick of time. Aedion is about to be executed by the King, Dorian has a wyrdstone collar around his neck, Chaol is essentially running the rebel group, and she has asked Rowan to stay behind in Wendlyn even though she'd love to have him at her side.
As we meet new characters, like Elide, Nesryn, and Lorcan and hold our breath as the fire-breathing bitch-queen works to free magic, aid the rebellion, save her friends, and reclaim her throne the reader is once more drawn into the fantastical world Maas has created in the Throne of Glass series. Now that I've read most of this series I actually find myself liking the Throne of Glass series a smidge more than the ACOTAR series.
I like how we get to see the story through the eyes of so many of the characters, not just out snarky, badass heroine.
Overall, each book in this series is a stepping stone to the explosive finale I can't wait to read when Kingdom of Ash comes out in October and I'm glad I took the time to go back and read the first four books having only read Empire of Storms previously.
