One thing that I’m always incredibly impressed with is Sarah’s ability to really make this series one long story. Even though it’s been a year since I’ve been immersed in this world, picking up QUEEN OF SHADOWS just felt so comfortable and I easily fell back into all of the magic that this series has to offer. It’s hard to review the 4th book in a major series without giving plot points away so I’m going to stay off of plot (for the most part) and try to talk about more about specific elements of the book that I enjoyed as well as how the book seems to be standing up to criticisms (yes, people have them and I don’t understand them).

Maas fandom having just started the Throne of Glass series last year (I binge read the first three books right as HEIR OF FIRE came out) and I absolutely fell in love. I was a bit of a late-comer to the Sarah J. QUEEN OF SHADOWS was just utter, utter perfection for me.

** This review will contain spoilers for the previous three books in the series but NO specific plot spoilers for QUEEN OF SHADOWS, however, if you have not read QUEEN OF SHADOWS yet, you may consider some things I talk about in my review to be minor spoilers (about the romance!) so reader beware! ** The fourth volume in the New York Times bestselling series contrinues Celaena's epic journey and builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.

And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die for her. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight. She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But she's at last returned to the empire-for vengeance, to rescue her once-glorious kingdom, and to confront the shadows of her past.
