I will post a non-spoiler series review once I have finished reading the series.
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
I just can't stop reading this series! This book was certainly more of a challenge for me being all of 648 pages long, which is longer than what I usually read. How can I possibly sum up all of the things I loved about this series, this book in particular in just a single review? Let's see what I can do...
If it wasn't possible to love the character interaction more in this series so far this book has certainly pushed that limit further. With each book in this series the characters get more and more used to each other and you can tell the history between them with the way they interact with each other; sometimes laughing, sometimes angry and sometimes both at the same time! Celaena/Aelin's personality I love the most. She is so sassy and fiery but at the same time she shows such compassion and love to the characters she loves it just shows how great she will be Queen of Terrasen.
You then have the world-building. In this book more than the others before I felt I got to see more and more of what was around, especially the different types of people in different parts of this world. I especially loved following Manon, the Ironteeth witch who, like Celaena, has such fire I am surprised that anyone wants to try and cross her path but equally you see her have compassion for those who truly deserve it especially with the introduction of a new character called Elide. I have a feeling that we are going to be seeing more and more of this character as the series goes on.
Lastly, there is the plot line. Although this book was a monster of a book to read at no point was I bored or confused. Every aspect of this story had its own place some descriptive, some adding to the suspense of what was to come with the added joy of a few twists and turns around the corner as well!
I know I must say this after ever review in this series but honestly I can't wait to get onto the next one!
