#LittensLoveSJM #ToG #EoS Ch.1-9: And we‘re right back into the story - I love it. By this book, SJM knows who her audience is, she knows we‘ve been on this journey with her so far, we don‘t need boring long expositions- we‘re ready to get back in with our characters. It starts off interesting and stays that way - so far. ⬇️

StayCurious Some of my takeaways- Manon is starting to really come into her own. It was interesting to see Elide described as “demon possessed”. Vernon is a weasel. Funny that Erowan took on a new, handsome, athletic body. Although- wouldn‘t you? I love how loyal the members of Aelin‘s court are. Were we really thinking she‘d be welcomed back onto her throne with open arms? Yes, I kinda was. I hate old power grubbing men ⬇️ 16h

StayCurious Telling her to make herself useful by getting married🙄the nerve! I‘m all about Rowan and Aelin now (something I never thought I‘d say given how much of a jerk he started out as)…them being separated is never a good thing…I‘ve rambled on long enough and barely touched the surface - a lots going on. What were some of your key moments? 15h

BarkingMadRead I don‘t like that Rowan left, it worries me. I was so excited that Manon is becoming so sure of herself. I was so shocked that Aelin wasn‘t welcomed back, with everyone we‘ve met already calling her Queen. I‘m hoping Elide is ok, this demon thing worries me! 15h

LiseWorks Oh my goodness, there was a lot going on. Team Manon and Dorian, here they come. 7h

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.81-end /review - wow a lot happened in this book, and in these last few chapters! Aelin and her court, have returned to Terrasen. They have their work cut out for them fighting for what is hers. The king of Adarlan is dead - or so they believe. I want to see a body before I make up my mind. Dorian is now King and has been left in Adarlan. I worry about how he‘ll get on by himself. ⬇️

StayCurious Chaol and Nesryn are off on their own adventure to heal Chaol‘s legs. I like him a bit better now but do we think he really needs his own book? Meh. I want - as always - more witches. How will Manon go forward? Will she disobey her grandmother? Try to over turn her? I‘m most interested in her story. 1w

BarkingMadRead I‘m obsessed with Manon, I hope we get plenty of her in future! 1w

StayCurious Overall I enjoyed this book most so far out of the series. It solved some things but left so many things up in the air that I‘m looking forward to the next instalment. 1w

5feet.of.fury This was my favorite one so far. The most cohesive, a good ending to this book and transition to the next. 1w

Littlewolf1 @5feet.of.fury I completely agree. When Rowan shows up and she runs into his arms… It was perfect. The fact that Dorian is able to get free and then Manon shows up is even better. 1w

mcctrish More witches!!!!! I hope Elide connects with the gang on their hike to Terrasen! I didn‘t think the King was dead ? Just not possessed ! Ooops read too fast 1w

StayCurious @mcctrish they believe the King is dead - that he died when the glass castle shattered- but I don‘t know if he is. There wasn‘t enough closure there. 1w

mcctrish Oh he‘s off hiding somewhere - where is baby brother ? I‘ve forgotten his name and I borrowed all the books from the library 1w

StayCurious @mcctrish I think he is hiding out with Dorian‘s mother in the mountains or something. She took him away when things started getting dodgy in the capital 1w

LiseWorks I still think Manon ❤️ Dorian, And I'm a little worried about him all alone 1w

Butterfinger I agree with everyone else. My favorite so far. I love the teasing between Aedion and Lysandra. 6d

#LittensLoveSJM Hi friends, I know we still have a few chapters left of Queen of Shadows but I wanted to let you know of a change in reading plan. Originally we were going to read Tower of Dawn first b/c a few sources online mentioned it would be a more emotional way to go into the final book of the series. I‘ve changed my mind and decided we will read in publication order -which means Empire of Storms first-to avoid spoilers for us ToG virgins⬇️

StayCurious We will start Empire of Storms in December, reading 9 chapters a week, first check in December 8. Please let me know if you‘d like to continue on this #ToG journey with us. 2w

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.71-80: Hold on…trying to catch my breath. What a whirlwind few chapters! Hands down - best part was Lysandra kicking ass as a ghost leopard. Question: do we really believe the King was mostly innocent in all his crimes? That he was just a pawn? Do we think he‘s really dead? I guess they have to go after Perrington now. I‘m very interested in how things will be now that magic has returned.

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

BarkingMadRead I‘m a little wary of that king, I don‘t think he was just a pawn, especially at first! 2w

mcctrish How bloody convenient for the King!!!!! @BarkingMadRead I totally agree 2w

5feet.of.fury @BarkingMadRead @mcctrish agreeee I am not trusting the King, it‘s too convenient 2w

5feet.of.fury I‘m completely not understanding Lorcan, but thanks for showing up lol 2w

5feet.of.fury Aelin addressing the people having her “breaker of chains” moment was badass 2w

mcctrish @5feet.of.fury what the hell is up with Lorcan? He threw them all under the bus and then showed up a day late? He sucks 2w

5feet.of.fury @mcctrish exactly! I thought we hated him & then he showed up and saved everyone with no explanation. 2w

LiseWorks No, the king is lying. And now that magic is back, what will the witches do? 2w

Butterfinger Lyssandra rocked. I have been so anxious about Dorian. 2w

Butterfinger @5feet.of.fury I love Darrow. 2w

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.61-70: yikes things are getting tense! Where‘s Lorcan!? That betraying bastard - let me at ‘im! I honestly don‘t know how our team will get out of this one. SJM is really good at making you hate the villain and boy do we hate the King of Adarlan! Pure evil and he always seems to be one step ahead of our heroes. How does he do it and will he succeed this time?

BarkingMadRead So much stress involved with these chapters! It‘s not looking good 3w

Butterfinger When Lysandra was leaving the city, I was still expecting Aerobynn to pop up. "You thought you could kill me." I would have lost it. I know the head was chopped off, but I was still expecting him. Lorcan tricked them. Poor, poor Elide. 3w

mcctrish @Butterfinger same or some death debt was owed! Lorcan and his fuckery 😡😡😡😡 3w

5feet.of.fury It was tough to stop there! I‘m glad Manon got the message out, I was so baffled why Chaol and Aelin were still talking about killing Dorian when Aelin had seen Manon talk to him… I feel like Aelin shouldn‘t have seen it, because she reacted in the moment & then suddenly “ok which one of us is doing the kill shot” 😵‍💫 3w

5feet.of.fury Oh yeah poor Asterin too! 3w

5feet.of.fury Is Elide Asterin‘s baby? Does she have parents? Don‘t tell me lol I just don‘t believe or don‘t want to believe they threw away her witchling 3w

LiseWorks Lorcan baffles me! 3w

StayCurious @5feet.of.fury oooh wouldn‘t that be a twist! 3w

Roary47 @5feet.of.fury I man I hope you are right. 🤩 2w

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.51-60: wow! That fight scene was epic! Seeing our two girls come to blows was everything we needed. And then seeing Aelin save Manon so unexpectedly- our queen is full of surprises. Those two need to become allies and take out Manon‘s horrible grandmother and the awful king. I‘m shipping them as besties for sure. 💕⬇️

StayCurious Were we shocked that Chaol went back to kill Dorian? I guess seeing him in person really got across the fact that he‘s gone. Although Manon seemed to bring Dorian back to himself for a bit. These chapters were really good. Things are getting really interesting! 1mo

BarkingMadRead That was an epic battle for sure! Poor Chaol, trying to finally do the right thing. I really hope Dorian is still in there an they can sag him 1mo

mcctrish I feel like Chaol has lost the plot. I was so tense during this fight scene but then I thought there are too many books left and these are all key characters, we can‘t lose them now 1mo

Butterfinger @mcctrish Chaol is not the only one. I was getting very confused. Sin Eater??? Ren?? Kaltain's fire. I know it is because I don't read it straight through, and I do start eventually remembering. I feel like I need to take notes. 1mo

LiseWorks Man, I loved this. Manon better wake up to the fact that Grandma is not your friend. And poor Dorian! I know deep down he's in there. Manon and Dorian together ❤️? 1mo

mcctrish @LiseWorks ooooo yes 1mo

mcctrish @Butterfinger we‘ve had so many different storylines going on for so long, it‘s crazy that they‘ve almost all come together in this one fight scene - now we have our A team to take down the king 🎉 if they can just figure shit out 1mo

5feet.of.fury @Butterfinger agree, there‘s a lot going on & I keep forgetting parts. I‘m so confused about certain motivations and hoping it comes together at some point 😂 1mo

5feet.of.fury That whole chain of events seemed random to me. But I was glad Aelin could see Manon bring Dorian out a bit, now she knows he‘s not totally gone. 1mo

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG QueenofShadows Ch.41-50: wow! I can‘t quite believe what happened to Arobynne-When he slipped the ring on Aelin‘s finger, my heart nearly stopped. Dorian under Valg control is bad enough. His chapters are hard to read -but to think of the Queen being a puppet - nope. Not having it. And neither is she apparently 🙌 I think she‘s going to need to keep Aedion in the loop though for future plans. He‘s going to get pissy otherwise

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

BarkingMadRead Omg I had so much anxiety about that! I don‘t know why it shocked me so much, but it really did! 1mo

mcctrish @BarkingMadRead I put the book down and said out loud “that‘s it, I CAN NOT read this” and then I thought wait, if Arobynn is able to bend her to a ring doesn‘t that mean he‘s possessed or magic or Valg? What am I missing? So I picked it back up and thank god. I feel like Arobynn‘s death was too easy but I don‘t care, he sucks 1mo

5feet.of.fury I have no idea what I‘m supposed to think about Rowan at this point. 1mo

Butterfinger Aelin is starting to keep things from her friends again. It's a need-to-know basis with her. I hate that Rowan hurt her feelings. I can't wait till Lydandra shifts. 1mo

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.31-40: Never thought I‘d feel bad for the yellowlegs - but there you go. I can‘t even begin to imagine the horrors they‘ve suffered- I‘m sure Elide only saw the surface in that brief glimpse. Manon needs to step up and take care of business. And protect those under her jurisdiction. ⬇️

StayCurious There‘s a joke in the ToG universe that Aelin always has grand plans but the others just kinda know they‘re going to go wrong somehow so they go along to watch her back. I feel like this evening with Arobynne will be like that - definitely not cut and dry. Will he finally get what‘s coming to him? 1mo

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

BarkingMadRead This Arobynne thing is giving me anxiety, it could go wrong if 100 different ways! The Rowan meme though 😍 1mo

LiseWorks Oh, the Arobynne thing! She better get it right cause that guy is like a slithering snake. 1mo

mcctrish Good god the yellowlegs breeding factory is awful. I hope Manon just says fuck it and burns that mountain and men to the ground. Everything with Aelin is one step forward and 2 backwards. 🤞🏻 Rowan kills Arobynn 1mo

#LittensLoveSJM #ToG Queen of Shadows Ch.21-30: oh, things are getting good! Manon has taken Elide as a witchling under her wing - but what will her grandmother say? Manon is showing too much softness, too much caring - at least in the eyes of that old bat. Aedion meets Rowan and it‘s all about the Alphas. Poor Aedion realizes he‘s been beaten by Rowan to the blood oath. This is a big deal - this was Aedion‘s calling. I felt bad for him. ⬇️

StayCurious But at least he made up with Aelin quickly. Rowan has developed feelings for Aelin - but he‘s going to fight them because of reasons. Chaol is still an ass. No news there. And poor Dorian is still trapped😣 - can‘t wait to read more! (edited) 2mo

5feet.of.fury I like the way Dorian‘s chapters are done, it makes Aelin & Chaol‘s disagreement more impactful. His POV is very bleak & he‘s mostly gone, but you do get that shred of humanity shown, but the he wishes Aelin killed him so … 2mo

mcctrish I wonder if they free magic could Dorian blast the demon out of him? Also Chaol hates himself so much he can‘t deal with anything else - I‘m glad Nes gives him a wide berth because she doesn‘t need that. I feel like Manon and Asterin are close to figuring out what they need to do to survive and it‘s got nothing to do with the current shit show in the mountain or grandma 2mo

mcctrish Also i wouldn‘t say no to spicy times between Rowan and Aelin 2mo

LiseWorks I feel so bad for Dorian, he is my favorite, Chael is useless. And the Witches. Something big is going to happen here. 2mo

Butterfinger I really like Aedion. His loyalty to his cousin reminds me so much of Rhysand's group and (a Crescent City character). Dorian's chapter is breaking my heart. What is the monster with the king's voice? 2mo
