I know there are a lot of mixed reviews with this one and I thought I was going to hate it for all the hate but I LOVED THIS BOOK!!!! It was everything I wanted and more <3
This review has some spoilers so don't read if you haven't read QoS.
Since I was a Chaolena shipper and everyone spoiled me this book I had to take a few months from this series and then face the inevitable. Chaol and Aelin hating each other. And yes, I did hate it but I feel like the fighting was necessary. I mean Chaol over reacted and was a little off but his opinions were right and Aelin's too. It wasn't a black and white situation. Both parties were right and I wished they could have talked and plan something instead of just blaming each other. For example, Chaol did run away. He had too because otherwise the king will have killed him. Aelin didn't have the right to accuse Chaol of living Dorian because he had to do it in order to come back more prepared. Like I said is not a black and white situation...
Also I never felt the book was fast paced or slowed. It was on point and so much happened!! I was on board with the Rowaelin ship and I don't know how it happened because I didn't like too much Rowan in the third book. A lot of people think they were a little too fast but I didn't think so. Maybe it was because I waited almost a year to read this book...
Also Arrobyn? I hated that guy and I was just waiting for some vengeance. But when he tried to trick Aelin with the ring? Ahggg!! I almost lost it there!!!
Also Lysandra, Aedion and Manon? I loved everything that happened with the character development and even Asterin made soo sad!
The friendship between Lysandra and Aelin was the best. I didn't thought I will love it as much as I did. And Manon and Aelin meeting each other. OMG!! I couldn't stop reading to see what was going to happen.
I got so sad at the end with Chaol and Dorian having to leave each other. But I loved that Aelin and Chaol got to sort their problems and be in good terms. I felt the tears coming in that point. But the ending was so bittersweet that I wanted to cry, roll over in bed with a blanket and never go out. I can't wait to read Empire of Storms.

“She was fire, and light, and ash, and embers. She was Aelin Fireheart, and she bowed for no one and nothing, save the crown that was hers by blood and survival and triumph.”

“He shifted his arm so he could brush her hair back. His fingers lingered along her jaw. “You make me want to live, too, Aelin Galathynius,â€� he said. “Not exist—but live.â€� He cupped her cheek, and took a steadying breath—as if he’d thought about every word these past three days, over and over again. “I spent centuries wandering the world, from empires to kingdoms to wastelands, never settling, never stopping—not for one moment. I was always looking toward the horizon, always wondering what waited across the next ocean, over the next mountain. But I think â€� I think that whole time, all those centuries, I was just looking for you.”

“I missed you,â€� he said quietly, his gaze darting between her mouth and eyes. “When I was in
Wendlyn. I lied when I said I didn’t. From the moment you left, I missed you so much I went out of my
mind. I was glad for the excuse to track Lorcan here, just to see you again. And tonight, when he had
that knife at your throat …� The warmth of his callused finger bloomed through her as he traced a path
over the cut on her neck. “I kept thinking about how you might never know that I missed you with only
an ocean between us. But if it was death separating us � I would find you. I don’t care how many
rules it would break. Even if I had to get all three keys myself and open a gate, I would find you
again. Always.”
