Queen of Shadows

Solid four stars. The first half of this dang book was so slow, as a lot of SJM books tend to be for me. It was like nothing happened for 350 pages. I felt pulled away to read other books, which is why it took me 3.5 months to finish it.
But once the halfway point passed, things really picked up and I was hooked yet again.
I was so excited to finally see Aelin and Manon meet! After an entire book and a half of waiting for our two queens to come face to face! And it was an awesome fight too.
Going to tandem read Empire and Tower... wish me luck!
