So let's do this!

Celaena is now the king's champion. She is fulfilling his tasks and killing the people he wants dead... or is she? Of course Celaena has no intention of killing innocent people or supporting the king in any way which is why she chooses to fake the deaths of those she should kill and lies to the king. When he presents her new target, Archer Finn, supposedly the head of some organisation that wants to ursup the king by finding the lost heir of Terrasen, Aelin Galathynius, Celaena chooses to spare Archer as well and tries to gain information about that underground rebel movement herself. Meanwhile, Celaena's and Chaol's relationship develops from friendship to love. Although Chaol is conflicted due to his duties towards the king and Dorian, he choses to be with the girl he loves. Dorian on the other hand discovers that he has magic abilities, which is a huge threat on his life since he is not able to control them. He tries to gain information on how to use his powers while the princess Nehemia is in great danger: Chaol is told by the evil King that there is an attack planned on Nehemia's life and while Chaol could try to prevent it, he choses to keep that information to himself, triggering a series of terrible events all while Celaena discovers secrets about the King's mysterious power source that seems to be connected to the wyrdmarks once again.

Spoilers...
It seems like everybody has great things to say about this series and I kinda like it too but I still discovered so many flaws! First off the things I liked: Dorian's magic! How cool is that, Dorian has always been my favourite person in this novel (alongside Nehemia *sob*) and this kinda makes him so much more interesting and super awesome! Also great was to see Celaena being a badass, like when she kills Grave or saves Chaol and lastly when she DOES NOT soare Archer!!! I loved how she totally kicked ass there. Also the king will keep trusting her now that she can present Archer's head. Archer was a stupid bastard anyway, I knew he was not really trustworthy but killing Nehemia??? I did not think she would die in this novel and I loved her! She was so smart and well-spoken and fierce, she shouldn't have died.. I will miss her. Just why didn't Chaol tell Nehemia that someone was planning to kill her? I mean, yeah she kinda sacrificed herself to motivate Celaena or whatever buuut Chaol did not know that and he willingly risked her life! I do not like Chaol at all and it was painful to read about his relationship with Celaena. Sooo glad when she tried to kill him (haha sorry. not sorry) because he is overall so dull and boring. He is not funny or witty or cute like Dorian is, he just exists without contributing to the story, really. I don't get why Celaena would choose him and it seems unrealistic that she would so quickly change her mind about the people she loves. I mean first she was head over heels for Dorian and then she suddenly is deeeeply in love with the Chaol dude??! Now that I am already listing the flaws, the whole novel felt a bit boring because there were no tournaments and in "Throne of Glass" I always kept reading because of those. Some plot twists were also predictable like her being Fae (as soon as she sung that song at Nehemia's grave it was awfully obvious) and of course she HAD to be Aelin Galathynius. Great. Another chosen one. What confused me further more was the world building. I missed some extra information on this weird kingdom. I don't really get which regions are under the king's control and which parts of Erilea are still independent. And now we even have Wendlyn which is a completely new continent. I feel as if I didn't read enough about the king himself and his plans. I cannot quite connect him and his rings to the wyrdkeys and Roland's or Kaltain's headaches. Poor Kaltain btw, she had to marry that Perrington dude, ugh. The riddle that took Celaena/Aelin ages to solve was way to obvious and that witch, Baba Yellowlegs was such a ridiculous character. One good thing to end this: Gavin the first king of Adarlan visited Dorian in his sleep and if THAT is not a sign that Aelin and Dorian belong together, then I don't even know.
