#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.37-39: Boy-that Iskra is asking for a walloping, and I‘m glad Manon gave it to her. Poor Abraxos! But now Manon has shown her weakness to everyone. She‘d better watch her back-even from her allies. Also, what was she thinking stealing from that spider? That‘s gonna come back to haunt her, for sure. Also pretty sure the foul taste/smell is dark magic set to control the witches. Good thing Manon is smart to notice.

Laughterhp I was not expecting her to steal from those spiders! I liked all the witches chapters! 5h

mcctrish @Laughterhp I gasped out loud at the spider double cross! It can‘t end well 5h

mcctrish The black magic that permeates everything is meant to keep them from succeeding for sure - do all the wyverns talk to their witches or just some ? 🤔 5h

LiseWorks I'm falling in love with Abraxas, especially when he shielded her from the cold. Stealing from a spider is not a good thing. 5h

BarkingMadRead Omg these chapters were so good! I worry about the backlash from stealing from those spiders and showing her hand when it comes to Abraxos. That scene where he protected her from the storm was 😍😍 4h

Littlewolf1 I feel like Manon should be paying closer attention to Abraxas action. We know he did not eat the meat for a reason, maybe he was avoiding the drop-off. Also, i really do not like the relationship between Dorian and the nurse. 4h

Butterfinger @mcctrish I have no idea if they all have that mental connection, but I admit I could have squealed when he knocked the three spiders off the cliff. It was like they planned it and it was executed perfectly. @StayCurious it is driving me crazy- the mountain, the rings, the smell and taste, the control. I'm glad the 13 and their wyverns have stopped eating the food. This may be unpopular, but Manon and Abraxas are saving this book. 4h

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.34-36: Rowan and Celaena are making progress with each other. Turns out Rowan has lost his mate - which is the worst thing that can happen to Fae I think. No wonder he‘s so hard. Celaena has started to feel a connection to him in that they‘ve both suffered loss and need to crawl their way out of the abyss. Perhaps they can do it together. What he felt for his mate I think Celaena felt for Sam and even Nehemia. ⬇️

StayCurious Aedion and Chaol are closer to discovering how the King got rid of magic. The king must be a keen study to have figured out how to do that. Did he have help? Or did he just control those around him? 1d

StayCurious @BarkingMadRead it‘s hard to believe but … maybe? 1d

BarkingMadRead @StayCurious I will be so so mad 🤣🤣🤣 1d

Laughterhp I like that Emrys sticks up for her and has no problem yelling at Rowan. All of a sudden I‘m supposed to feel sympathy for Rowan?! He better do more than just tell her he lost her mate for me to like him. 1d

LiseWorks Aha! So now I feel really bad for Rowan, I knew there was a reason for the way he is. And Aedion is not bad after all. You can't judge a person without knowing them. 1d

Butterfinger I thought Ren's story was pitiful. How far he's fallen just to survive. 1d

Littlewolf1 Not gonna lie, I deal with pain with getting tattoos too. Not the same type, but the same concept. I‘m glad they were able to take this and open up, and then she got a couple good swings in there during this round. They‘re obviously both dealing with my struggle of self-worth, but I like the idea of them healing together. 23h

Read4life With everything going on I‘m WAY behind. I‘m hoping to get caught up tomorrow. 12h

Roary47 I feel like I should feel bad for Rowan. What happened was terrible, but he made the choice to leave his pregnant wife for what he felt his duty. I feel like he picked his job over his family. While sure he was needed, could he have ensured that his wife was safe with relatives, friends, or something before he left? I am glad that Celeana and him had this sort of bonding moment, but I'm still not okay with how he has been treating her. 11h

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.31-33: Man, Rowan is such a d*ck. I don‘t know what his motivation is, or what his past trauma is, but Celaena has been through so much and she‘s just asking for a friend. And he slaps her down for it. We better learn he had a good reason for it - or get to see Celaena beat his ass. ⬇️

StayCurious As usual, the Manon chapters were great. I‘m fascinated with the smell she senses. Is it caused by the King‘s black magic? Is it the same smell Celaena got from the creature draining bodies? So curious! Also, poor Abraxos. He just wants to smell flowers and fly. I hope he‘s not still being abused by the handlers when Manon isn‘t with him. 2d

StayCurious @LiseWorks @5feet.of.fury @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @JenlovesJT47 @Laughterhp @Butterfinger @Roary47 @Read4life @lilybird @Littlewolf1 2d

BarkingMadRead I can‘t wait to find out what that smell is, and I love how much we got of Abraxos! Rowan better redeem himself soon 2d

mcctrish Aedion noticed the smell too - something is rotten in Denmark for reals! Abraxos makes me laugh - he‘s like a cat #youarenotthebossofme ❤️❤️❤️ I worry about the handlers too 2d

Butterfinger Love Abraxos!!! 2d

Laughterhp I thought it was weird that all of a sudden she thought of him as a friend.. he hasn‘t been anything but mean to her. 2d

LiseWorks The Abraxos seen with the flowers reminded me of how to train your dragon movie. 2d

5feet.of.fury Celaena found just another excuse for a pity party IMO 2d

5feet.of.fury Abraxos 🌹🌸💐🌺🌷🌻🌼🪷 2d

Roary47 I think it‘s so cute that a big scary Wyvern with Iron everywhere wants to just smell flowers. I thought it was sweet that she got him a goat. That smell is definitely intriguing. What is it?! 2d

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.28-30: Celaena shifts and is able to embrace her fae form, and stays as Fae for an extended period of time. I‘m curious if this is the first time she‘s done that or if she was always Fae as a child. Her memories of her parents and Aedion make me sad but they are good to read because they provide important background. Chaol and Aedion discover there‘s a group of Royal soldiers- surprise surprise, Chaol knows nothing⬇️

StayCurious They obviously work for the king. I feel as though he keeps Chaol around just for show. He definitely wasn‘t offered a coveted black ring so he‘s not in the inner circle or important enough that the king needs to control him. 3d

StayCurious @LiseWorks @5feet.of.fury @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @JenlovesJT47 @Laughterhp @Butterfinger @Roary47 @Read4life @lilybird @Littlewolf1 3d

mcctrish It‘s actually funny how Ardalan seems work on 2 levels ( or is it clever?) Chaol is the legit side of the family business, waste management say, and the other side is the illegal black ring side 3d

StayCurious @mcctrish yeah the king keeps two sets of books 3d

mcctrish Did Perrington‘s champion wear the same outfit/crest ? My brain isn‘t remembering names 3d

LiseWorks I am worried they are going to find out that Aedion s ring is a fake 3d

Butterfinger @mcctrish I don't remember a special crest, just the ring. I hope it goes back full circle. Where is #whatsherface and Dorian's cousin? Were they used as bait for the wyverns? I'm enjoying Dorian's and Sorscha's story. I want to believe in them. Does anyone else feel like this is similar to watching "stories"? LOL 3d

mcctrish @Butterfinger I‘m reading library books so I can‘t go back and check earlier books 🤦🏻‍♀️ Roland is the cousin and the girl was sent with Perrington to meet someone? They both heard the wings ? Roland got a ring but she didn‘t ? 3d

Butterfinger @mcctrish I believe so. I can't remember what makes me think they are with the wyverns. Then, it would make sense that Roland and (name started with a K) she heard wyvern wings. 2d

StayCurious @Butterfinger @mcctrish was it Kaltain? She and Roland are definitely still in play with the Duke. We haven‘t heard the last of them. 2d

mcctrish Yes!!! Kaltain - I wonder who she was to meet? The soul sucker? 2d

Roary47 I think Kaltain doesn‘t have a ring because she has a substance abuse problem. So she is already being controlled @mcctrish . I also want to believe in Sorscha and Dorian. @Butterfinger 2d

mcctrish @Roary47 no I know she didn‘t, but she complained about headaches and hearing the wings the same as Roland who did wear a ring. She took the opium ( or whatever the substance was) for the headaches. Why did the champion who wore a ring not have the headaches? What is Kaltain being manipulated for ? 2d

Roary47 @mcctrish ooo I missed that was why she took the drugs. I thought it was how she was controlled and the drugs produced the headaches and the sensitivity to hearing the wings. 2d

Butterfinger @Roary47 @mcctrish I went back to look. Ch 9 of the current read. There is a Duke (I assume Perrington) with two prisoners (Kaltain and Roland -again, an assumption) Manon thinks their smell is alien. Maybe, only a few are in on the king's plans (Perrington and the champion), and others are drugged by the onyx???? that is in the rings.. All assumptions. But, I am worried about Roland and Kaltain. I want K to be part of the feminist fighters. 2d

mcctrish @Butterfinger Manon says the men smell and taste bad at the mountain, Abraxos won‘t eat the food - is something in the water or does the mountain affect the water? Is Kaltain given something? Wasn‘t the food/water in prison tampered with? 2d

StayCurious @mcctrish @Roary47 @Butterfinger if I remember correctly, the Duke was using the magic on Kaltain to influence her because her bloodline had a history of magic or power. The duke and king wanted that power on their side. But Kaltain wasn‘t strong enough to withstand the effects of the dark magic and the duke said to the king he needed to lay off a bit because she was getting headaches and going a bit batty.

mcctrish That sounds right @StayCurious 1d

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.25-27: Not sure why we are rooting so much for the witches when they are training to fight the King‘s enemies, but I‘m here for them. Their chapters are interesting! Manon is outfitting Abraxos to be a champion, with iron fangs and spikes on his tail. What I find interesting is Dorian uses iron to dampen his magic because iron is immune to magic. And yet the iron teeth covens are well…outfitted with iron. ⬇️

StayCurious And had magic before it disappeared. Like I said - Interesting. I worry about Sorscha. I don‘t think she‘s completely keeping Dorian‘s secret. But maybe I‘m wrong. And as for the creepy killer Rowan and Celaena are tracking, was he the King‘s assassin and did he have something to do with her parents‘ deaths? 4d

mcctrish A few chapters back we learned of some other girl who‘s missing - E something - I wonder if Sorscha is connected somehow. I agree the iron connections are confusing or inconsistent - E name is Elide, is she undercover like Celeana ? (edited) 4d

Butterfinger @StayCurious Celaena said it was the same smell. I at first thought she meant the smell of blood, but she only smelled it 3 times, so it is more than blood. What's up with the birds? So confused right now. And the human males' blood tastes weird to Manon. 4d

LiseWorks I absolutely loved the dragon fight, I call them dragons. And I love an underdog. They might laugh at Manon picking that underdog creature, but he sure put up a fight to survive. 4d

Laughterhp Oh that‘s interesting that the witches are full of iron. Do they have a different type of magic? I didn‘t think of that as Dorian was using iron to dampen his magic. 3d

Sorry for the missed post! I ran out of time yesterday because my son kept asking for “one more story” at bedtime 😆. I will post twice today so we stay on schedule. #LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.22-24: these were good chapters with some intense scenes! First with those skin collectors - so creepy! Then we got to see a glimpse of Celaena‘s powers. ⬇️

StayCurious Rowan saved her life so maybe he‘s not all bad though I think him having a blood oath to Maeve may be troublesome in future. Manon got her wyvern and not how we were expecting it at all. I think she‘s great and I always root for the little guy. Let‘s watch Abraxos prove himself. ⬇️ 5d

StayCurious These witches remind me of Amazons btw. Man are they tough on each other. And finally, Dorian gets dragged into the loop and has new reasons to be angry at Chaol. What will he do with all this information? He‘s in such a tough spot. 5d

BarkingMadRead Omg that chapter about Abraxos 😍 totally badass! 5d

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.19-21: interesting about Aedion. I was pleasantly surprised that he‘s been playing the King for years. Although how did he pull off not wearing the real ring? Does the king suspect? He‘s playing a dangerous game. And now we know that some wearing the rings don‘t realize they‘re in a club. They are being controlled. ⬇️

StayCurious If anyone is shipping Celaena and Rowan at this early stage - yuck. He‘s such a prick. How did SJM write a heartthrob like Rhysand and also a jerk like Rowan? Even when Rhysand was seemingly the villain I loved him. Sigh. 6d

StayCurious @LiseWorks @5feet.of.fury @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @JenlovesJT47 @Laughterhp @Butterfinger @Roary47 @Read4life @lilybird @Littlewolf1 6d

BarkingMadRead I‘m totally rethinking Aedion now, I didn‘t see that coming. Rowan is such a prick, I cannot see myself ever liking him! 6d

mcctrish All of a sudden Chaol has slightly redeemed himself for noticing the rings and paying attention to details. And yes @BarkingMadRead Aedion is not a total waste of space but @StayCurious Rowan and Rhysand are 2 very different villains, I agree 🖤I loved Rhysand from the start cuz he had banter!!!! 6d

Laughterhp Oh is Rowan supposed to be a love interest for her? I don‘t see it at all… 6d

LiseWorks For some reason, Aedion didn't seem so bad to me. I kind of liked him and knew he was up to something with the disappearing act at parties 6d

Butterfinger I'm with you, @StayCurious I do not like Rowan. I think he should stay a bird. But, on the other hand, Maas writes her characters with unlikeable and honorable traits, so who knows. I like Aedion, but not when he felt jealous over Chaol. Hopefully, I misinterpreted that part. I am wondering, traditionally, healers were/are witches. Could Sorscha be a Cochran? Just one more person to hide Dorian's secret. 6d

5feet.of.fury I‘m not mad at Rowan, I‘d think Celaena was useless if I just met her 😂 Aedion is very interesting & Chaol is finally getting somewhere 5d

Littlewolf1 It‘s getting harder and harder for me to not continue reading. This is one of my favorite times in the story, and it‘s been so long since I‘ve read it. I just wanna keep going. But I‘m sticking to the three chapters a day, even though I don‘t get to post every day. 5d

Roary47 I‘m with @Laughterhp I don‘t see Rowan as a love interest. I don‘t like him at all, and I like hate to loves so… I don‘t like it! @5feet.of.fury has a point though. She‘s all over the place, and getting her mad might bring her to be a better warrior. Am I caught up? 😍 5d

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.16-18: The witches take to the skies! It‘s interesting that even amongst each other the ironteeth clans can‘t get along and are already planning to seize power from each other. They really should be worrying about the King. You think he‘s going to let them saunter off with his wyverns after his war, to live as they please? That‘s a hard no. ⬇️

StayCurious Infighting is never a good thing. But I wouldn‘t want to work with the yellowlegs either 😒 do we think Dorian can trust Sorscha with his secret? Who is this friend she writes to outside of the palace? What‘s she hiding? 1w

StayCurious @LiseWorks @5feet.of.fury @mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @JenlovesJT47 @Laughterhp @Butterfinger @Roary47 @Read4life @lilybird @Littlewolf1 1w

BarkingMadRead So glad we got a peek at the witches again! Caelena needs to stop pushing people away! And Sorscha and Dorian as a pair make me happy, and she didn‘t tell his secret, so that‘s a plus! 1w

LiseWorks So far, I trust Sorchia, and exactly what made Dorian react like that. And I agree that infighting is not a good thing. 7d

Butterfinger I'm glad we got to see the witches with the wyverns. I agree with @BarkingMadRead C needs friends, but I understand why she is aloof. She loses those she loves OR always seems to be betrayed. I want to pass her parts right now. Hurry and erupt, C. 7d

mcctrish I am here for the witches- they need to assume they will be killed by the king , I trust Sorscha - I hate her superior. How is Chaol not dead yet? 7d

5feet.of.fury I‘m coming around to Sorscha she seems to have good intentions. The witches chapters are the best but I can‘t wait to see what Chaol got himself into. 7d

StayCurious @mcctrish he‘s pretty useless, this is true 6d

Laughterhp I like Sorcha so far. The witches are interesting! You would think they‘d get along, but it seems that will never happen. Oh Chaol.. so unaware. 6d

Roary47 I was thinking that too @barkingmadread where S kept D's secret and got in trouble herself. I kind of like her. I want to read more. I'm pretty sure she was one of my favorites when I first read this, but maybe I'm remember a fever dream and it's the opposite. After all I still like Chaol and will mentally hold his hand through these books. Lol! I really like the wyvern part of this section. It was really powerful. I'm almost caught up! 😃 5d

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Book 3 Ch.13-15: First - Rowan is kind of a d*ck. I get that trainers are often tough - and he wants Celaena to grow to her full potential (for Maeve, not Celaena) but man. He‘s rough. Second - that creature reminded me of the Bogge in ACOTAR. I wonder if it‘s similar or related in some way. Chaol is playing with fire by putting off his dad. He‘d better watch his step. And just what is Aedion up to?

BarkingMadRead @mcctrish I am 💯 here for the witches! Rowan is a dick. I wonder if he‘ll grow on me. Probably not 🤷🏻‍♀️ 1w

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead @StayCurious Rowan is a dick, but I‘m also over Celeana‘s shit, she‘d rather get the shit kicked out of her or thrown off a cliff than try 🙄 I wonder if 2 months is enough for Chaol to figure out what is up with Aedion ( he‘s toxic) (edited) 1w

mcctrish @Butterfinger but Celeana is in better shape now than when she came out of prison but it‘s still the same story again 1w

Littlewolf1 Celeana having to relive her trauma is harsh. I wouldn‘t wish that on anybody. She‘s grieving, she feels alone and she‘s been hiding herself for so long that she can‘t trust herself. Rowan is it much help, but I don‘t think he knows how to respond to the situation either. I didn‘t post on the last two day chapters, so I just wanna add that I too really enjoy the chapters with the witches Manon has always been my favorite character. 1w

5feet.of.fury @mcctrish agreeeeee I know she has trauma but she‘s waffling back and forth between snarky badass and a cowering ball of self loathing and picking fights when she could be DOING something 1w
