"The world," Aelin said, "will be saved and remade by the dreamers."
this book. this series.
i stand by what i said in Queen of Shadows that if you were to tell me that Throne of Glass with just Dorian, Chaol and Celeana/Aelin would lead us to this beautiful, broken, damaged & magical world, trust me, that was not the vibe i was getting & i'm really glad that i decided to continue with the rest of the series.
i'm sitting here still processing what happened in the last few hundred pages of the book. i'm sitting here in a whirlwind of emotions because i did the tandem read, to which, i feel is the only way to read it. as this book was filled with action, i don't think i could have read the whole book as emotional as it was and read Tower of Dawn right after as if the last chapters didn't ultimately wrecked me. but because some of the chapters dragged further than it should it's a 4.75 for me.
i do think there's this really big beautiful symbolic meaning with doing the tandem read, because with this book, you need to look deep down and reflect on one's mistakesffs elena and try to rise above it, even if it seems bigger than you. even if you didn't sign up for it. even if whatever happens in the end, swallows you into a big blackhole of emotions.
is it bad that i already want to re-read the whole series again?
