Chapters 92-96 were almost unbearable. Anielle is starting to win and make progress, but its not enough. After Erawan there was much to be done and Elides eagerness to read shouldve been at the bottom of the list for the newly crowned Queen. Aelin ascended the three steps and knelt upon the top one. The experience brought them so close together. Remember to swagger and grin and wink. It actually seems unreal that Aelin and our heroes have FINALLY defeated Maeve and Erawan. They were both still laughing. Aelin is struggling and missing her power. She closed her eyes, the words on her tongue, but too tired to speak. A bellow of fury and defiance.. Darrow smiledjust a bit. According to Vernon, Perrington, and Elide herself, she looks almost strikingly similar to Kaltain. Every step, every path she had taken, had led here. You didnt really think Id allow myself to be so once again, did you. The way they are able to share emotion and cry together shows this bond. Hed never told her that hed always considered her cleverness to be a mighty magic on its own, regardless of Anneiths whisperings.. Two mothers, whose love for their daughters and hope for a better world was greater than any power Erawan might wield. Erawan cast a spell on the King to erase his name from the world. I will not be afraid. Sarah uses music to write her books. Also, obviously, he only does this casual touch after he knows she'd be comfortable with it. They decide to do it at dawn. . . . His voice broke, but he made himself say the words, the truth in his heart. I actually had to take a minute away from the book to process. They are both healing together. I cannot win against them. This is a turn for Lorcan: protecting instead of destroying, defending instead of attacking. To whatever end, Fireheart.. He FINALLY recognizes her as Queen and is thankful. The relationships mended, character development, and the long awaited battle were To walk this path together, back from the darkness of the iron coffin. I do hope they can work through this and find a way to be together. Not just this battle. Really? Lorcan whispered, straining his voice so their son wouldnt hear. When Lorcan tells Elide hell never leave Maeve: "Her chest hurt at that. And then she accidentally snaps at him. Who had gone with him into so many wars and dangers. The gods then all leave through the gate . However, when they finally land safely, Manon informs Elide that the King of Adarlan has been killed by Aelin Galathynius. I knew you would, she breathed, gasping down his body, to his feet, then up again. . They win the battle, but Lorcan is gravely injured and the Valg damaged the dam above the city. All of the Thirteen die and the witch tower is decimated. Indeed, after spending time with Elide, Lorcan shifts from someone who destroys for the sake of it to someone who defends what he loves. He would not let the road end here. The characters and world mean so much to me. We dont know what it is. EEEEEEKKKK! Its so good to see that Aelin can still tell Rowan everything. He had done this. They would not get to take this, this most essential kernel of self. For my home, new as it is. I never know what to expect from her. We can see this in the tone of the narration when Lorcan comes to save Elide from the ilken. He was glad to be the one to rip it down and erase it from existence. He looks forward to life after the war where his father will be at his side. Aelin and Fenrys have endured so much and theres no hope in sight. She, and Cairn, and everything they did to me. She gulped down air, and Rowan wrapped her in his arms and pulled her onto his lap. While Aelin is falling through the different worlds she enters a fae one with snowy mountains. But, in one of my favorite twists, Aelin offers Fenrys the blood oath in order to save him. But after spending time with her, he's very comfortable touching her casually, and he's usually the one to initiate it. The action-packed scenes, the adventure and danger the characters went on to get to where they needed to, and a lost princess/assassin who finally claimed her crown back. Come back to me.. I love that Fleetfoot is included in this section of the book. He lit a few candles in the bathroom, just enough so he could see his reflection in the mirror. He glanced to Rowan, and bowed his head. At the keep in Anielle, Aelin meets Chaols father. It takes precedence over his mission to collect the Wyrdkeys for Maeve's sake; it even causes him to summon Maeve to protect Elide, and then to abandon the sea battle in Empire of Storms when he realises Maeve is coming for her. And eventually, with time, hed be back to normal, to the long-haired, rugged soldier. I dunno, dating? Maeve wants to be allies and offers Erawan six of her kharankui spiders to be hosts for the Valg princesses. Cyrene leads Dorian, Manon, and the Thirteen to a group of Crochan witches. Sarah is very emotional and cries a lot which makes me super happy because I am the same way. It weighed on her, nestled against her bones, that new burden. Hey, kid, he said, sitting down next to him,we need to talk., Ill be the first to admit this was a good prank, Lorcan started,but if you got caught doing this to someone who isnt your dad. . The problem with her leg may soon be fixed, as Yrene offered a solution for it, and Elide seemed inclined to take her up on that offer. From this point on, Elide stays in Manon's room and continues to plan her escape. You gave up everything and still came back here. The heir of the Blackbeak coven Manon Blackbeak first encountered Elide whilst she was cleaning the fireplace. She treats him as an equal, which makes him treat her as an equal. How thankful she was that shed found him near-death in Anielle. THE TEARS WONT STOP NOW. I know they were experimenting with the Wyrdmark books and portals. She sobs and sobs and sobs. I was a wreck reading this scene. Chaol objects to Yrene joining the fight, but ultimately has to settle for Dorian going with them. Her court. Decorate your laptops, water bottles, notebooks and windows. Others had done it before. Sarah always knew how she wanted to end the series. Now, to commemorate this morning of relaxation, I got you a gift. "Faster, Farasha!" Elide called to the horse as she steered her toward the keep, the mountain it had been built into. Aelin contemplates that Dorian has two keys and is looking for the third. At the posture of the body, the commanding seat he possessed. Way to go SJM. I think were going to have a great deal of fun., (I would love to know how Aelin handles the daily monotony of life without war or prophecies.). The remainder of Moraths forces sneaks into the side of Orynth! . Anyway, Lorcan and Elide are not going to make it back before the dam breaks. Here. The Yellowlegs Matron is wearing Rhiannon Crochans crown. Together, they knelt there, and he knew her grief was as real as his. They go back to the camp to get Fenrys. . Neglecting his clothes completely, he padded over to the bed, the mattress groaning under his weight. . Who would have thought that the Manon we met way back in. This is so incredibly beautiful because it shows that progress is possible. She has to conserve her power and trick them into thinking she still has her unbelievable fire-bringer power. They encounter a group of Valg soldiers and find out that part of Moraths forces is headed to Anielle (Chaols home). That I found you. She starts to fight Cairn, but she is failing. He had come. Aedion doesnt show it, but he is so happy that his father came to fight with him. I love you, he whispered in Elides ear. The approaching rider halted, anothera beautiful woman Dorian could only describe as goldenright behind. We came, Manon said, loud enough that all on the city walls could hear, to honor a promise made to Aelin Galathynius.

Anything for the Lady of Perranth, he said, and lifted her up, bringing her back home. Elides screech nearly shattered the windows in their newly remodeled home in Perranth as Lorcan snatched a book out of her hands, interrupting her reading. Family: Nesryn breathed, Holy gods. Chaol was inclined to agree as Aelin Galathynius, Rowan Whitethorn, and several others entered the tent. I loved everything about this scene. Whats so funny, exactly? she hissed. She would not give it up. It would have been an honor, Ren said. He wasnt sure who, or what, to thank for that, but nevertheless, he sent a prayer up every night, thankful to have earned Elides love. Gavriel his father. I do hope she can forgive him for it. In the final stand against Morath it appears that all hope is lost. It seems like every time she gets a win, she learns that there are even more insanely difficult challenges ahead. We could always use one more to partake in the nonsense, Aelin said, an invisible hand outstretched. . . At the woman by his side, who had healed his fractured and weary soul. Elena helped Aelin, Dorian pressed, his breath curling in the space between them. . On the ride back to safety, Lorcan confesses his love for Elide and then tries to slip off the horse to lessen the weight so that she can live. During this reunion, she gives the Wyrdkey to Aelin. Elides meetings went from early morning to night, dragging on until she collapsed into bed as soon as she stepped through the door. Aelin finds Manon and tells her and Abraxos that there will be a monument created to honor the Thirteen. The stone chamber with its braziers and hook from the ceiling. Ask the Author. . . One last gift to my bloodline. He didnt want Aelin to do it alone. Cairn is an absolute sadist. She cant forgive Lorcan for summoning Maeve and for how he reacted when Maeve broke the blood oath. . They save her and join the fight on Terrasens side!. That even if she could create that perfect world, it wouldnt be you with me. The gods are huge dicks, especially Deanna. They go back to the camp to get Fenrys. . She uses this opportunity to trap Aelin. Let the world know, Aelin said, voice breaking, that you are a male of honor. But he lived. So they did. It would have been an honor indeed.. Affiliations (It's just so adorable how happy they become together T_T). When Aelin was like, Shall we? I was just so damn happy. The last time she was in Endovier, she was being freed by Dorian and Chaol. . They all honor the Thirteen with flowers, stones, and other small tributes. Marion Lochan Gods above, Chaol was walking again. She is still brilliant and able to fight off attackers. Aedion and Lysandras goodbye exchange was so lovely. Until the very end. BUT Rowan and Lorcan are able to fight the illusion. After Aelin's parents were killed, Marion took her to a manor with her own daughter and told Elide to go upstairs and wait for her return. In the deepening blues of descending night, amid the snow beginning to fall, Aelin Galathynius had appeared before the sealed Southern gate. That I get to be here. The years hed realized he wanted to have, the stories he wished to hear, the male he wished to know. Lorcan and Elide grow closer during their travels, and Lorcan eventually agrees to help Elide find Aelin. I want it, Fenrys said, no trace of his usual swaggering humor. White or transparent. But the Queen Who Walked Between Worlds. It didnt take long before Lorcan saw it. And Lorcan is going to bind his life to Elides! He puts Aelin before himself. AND THEN He brings Morath down!!! She runs despite everything shes been through. A temporary freedom. For the companions around her, to lift their despair, their fear, she wouldnt yield. He's amazing. She asks to trade Erawan for Elenas soul. She was initially not going to be back after her appearance in the prequels. I am so tired, she wept. . . she breaks into their minds and tortures them with illusions. They lead them to a secret cavern and safety. It was so funny to see her be the one shocked. Yes, thoughts for another day. All the way to the southern continent, it seemed. And every night, before he woke up in a sweat, tears in his eyes, Elide would look him with her dark eyes and utter this is your fault, Lorcan. Mala tells her, , When it is done, seal the gate and think of home. It was just a split second because I knew SJM would never do that to her characters. She would never be so again. Hope that had guided Marion Lochan when she chose to buy a young heir time to run with her very life. On that lovely parting note, were going to finish up our dinners. Its a spread hawks wings. . He hoped she would. I cant imagine facing the loss of someone as important to me as Fenrys is to Aelin. she breaks into their minds and tortures them with illusions. Cue my tears . He takes the seed of power and kills Cyrene. Erawan has been using her the same way he used Kaltain, which is horrifying for this poor girl. During her time under the warden-ship of Vernon, she had a nursemaid named Finnula, who taught her almost everything Elide knows, and as she did not have any other teachers, she cant read since Finnula could not. Aelin let out a low laugh. Wow what an epic finale. Its just so great. It works and Erawan leaves the fight with Aelin. And just in case I had any tears left, I lost it one last time as Aelin gathered her court plus Dorian, Chaol, Yrene, Nesryn, Sartaq, Manon, Elide, Lorcan, Evangeline, Borte, Hasar, and Ansel to walk the coronation walk with her. He has all three!!!!! My heart broke into a million pieces for Aedion. Its the best when Aelin . In an another incredibly powerful scene, Aelin runs like hell from Cairn. Per Maeves orders, Cairn brings Aelin to an army camp where he will have his final session with Aelin. And by the end of the Valg war, when hes backwards proposing to her, Elide thinks his smile is the most beautiful thing she had ever seen and his eyes are filled with such beautiful light. . I knew that, would be an emotional rollercoaster, and I wasnt sure if all of our heroes would make it. I love how Dorian fights back against Gavin. Lysandra was the character that surprised her most. What Lorcan wanted to seewhat he missed dearlywas seeing her smile for herself, to laugh because they were alive, and happy. A gift? He can pay the debt because he has traces of magic and because he is nameless. Inside the Wyrdgate realm, Aelin and the King join hands to finish forging the Lock. Lorcan definitely grew on me in. Nothing is random in SJMs writing. She would see it again. Now, how about you try out that trampoline?. All of it is for you.. If I need to cut my hair. Allegiance: With that, Lorcan took his son back to his room, being sure to take the scissors away.
