No masters. No limits. No regrets.

Aelin Galathynius takes her place as queen in the fourth book of the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.

She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.

Everyone Aelin loves has been taken from her. Everything she holds dear is in danger. But she has the heart of a queen-and that heart beats for vengeance.

In this fourth book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series, no one will escape the queen's wrath.

the book is gorgeous, my only slight issue is that QoS looks like it was dropped or manhandled at one point (just at the top of the spine and the bottom of the dust cover is a bit lifted). i’ve done worse though, so it’s not that deep.

The pacing of this book was amazing. It’s a big book and I never felt like it was dragging, so much was happening.
Aelin building her court. Her relationship with Rowan. I am even starting to warm up to Manon.
As usual the last 100 pages of this book pack it in!!

5.0 out of 5 stars SJM came out swinging with this next installment
Reviewed in Canada on May 15, 2021

WOW! SJM came out swinging with this one. All the previous world building and lead up finally start to weave itself together as the pending battle looms. Aelin is back in Rifthold and she has a score (or two) to settle. Back in a land without magic she's forced to fall back on her past skill set as the country's most lethal assassin. Top of her hit list? Arobynn King of Assassins and The King of Adarlan. Both who have wronged Aelin and those closest to her.

Characters: I love the absolute depths of Aelin's character we get to see in this book. The forethought, planning and sheer cunning she puts into place as she plots her revenge is masterful. You really get to see another more intelligent side of her outside of the blood hungry killer. I also finally started to find a love for Manon in this book,that I never had before, who reveals more of a subtle compassionate side as the book moves on. Of course that smoldering, slow burn chemistry between Aelin and Rowan is still present and I'm here for it!! I can't wait to see that finally combust. The character growth and arc for Lysandra into another kick ass female, was also well done and a pleasant surprise. I'm not sure how I feel about the budding love interest between Chaol and Faliq but I want to see him happy to am willing to see where it goes. Also the bromances in this book. I love the connections between Dorian/Chaol and Rowan/Aedion.

Plot: this book moves at a fast pace between two main locations and throws even more characters at you but it was easy to follow along and stay on track. I loved the little surprises and plot twists ( especially one in the last few chapters) that you just didn't see coming. As ever, there was strong world building that just enhances on past books. I enjoyed all the sub plots that let some of our lesser characters shine and give insight and motivation to some of the events. Over all a good set up for whats to come.

5.0 out of 5 stars amazing, but like obviously its Sarah J. Maas, don't be ridiculous
Reviewed in Canada on September 22, 2015

The Throne of Glass series is my new absolute faaaavourite, and everyone should be jumping on this bandwagon. Literally the heroine starts out as someone I admire, and only continues to better herself throughout the books. A lot of YA series are full of cringe worthy moments, when you just want to be like but whyyyyy did you have to do that, or like but can't you just open your eyes!! - but this series is literalllly just so refreshing in that I can honestly say that as much as at times I wish the main character had made other choices, I realized that she was stronger than me for being able to make the choices she does. Also the humour is like right up my alley. In Queen of Shadows, the heroine makes so many of these choices, and just proves time and time again that she deserves whatever power or success she achieves. We get to see interaction between some of the characters who, I at least, was hoping would interact - and its SO kick ass. There's ROMANCE (but in the leastttt annoying way), MAGIC (but not like so far out it seems like she was grasping at straws/ was on acid while writing), AND SO MUCH COURAGE - this series has ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING, and this instalment did not disappoint whatsoever. The only negative side effect of this book, is that you'll have no idea what to do with yourself once you've finished. (Except obviously I just keep re-reading it, and you probably should too.)
