Change), You are commenting using your Twitter account. I could not wait for Kingdom of Ash to be released, but I was also terrified. I love how amused Rowan was at Aelins shock! They decide this in the middle of the night and immediately go to forge the Lock. Why? Not about her magic being whittled to nothing. It just shows how desperate he is to keep Elide safe.). He had never seen anyone so beautiful. And found himself, for the first time in a while, looking forward to tomorrow. Elena said the Lock requires Well face it together, he swore again. THE TEARS WONT STOP NOW. Throughout all of the searching for and planning to find Aelin, Elide is brilliant. It was hope that guided two women at opposite ends of this continent ten years ago. I was like yes girl you make them pay!!! Rowan had steadied her, and still did, as he kept watch from the shadows beyond the fire. Radiated it. Our heroes are losing and are forced to retreat to Orynth. Finally, after Dorian presses him, Gavin reveals that the third key is in Morath! Just a moment while we sign you in to your Goodreads account. when he named his son. We rarely see such a thoroughly hopeless and broken Aelin. THIS MADE ME SO HAPPY! White or transparent. Walk with me, Aelin said to them, the men and males falling into step behind. Others had done it before. Aelin sketched a mocking bow to the Lord of Anielle. Full stop. BUT KING DORIAN ANTICIPATED IT!!!! I was crying right along with them. They are unsure if theyll make it in time or if there will be anything left when they get there. Until the very end. A lifeline into eternity. Aelin then opens a portal between the gods world and a hell realm. Like pulling a thread in a tapestry, and seeing just how far and wide in went. A home for all those who wander, for those who need somewhere to welcome them with open arms. He inclined his head to Lysandra, I formally recognize Caraverre and its lands, and you as its lady. Darrow then names Evangeline (with her permission) as his heir and ward!! Gavriel was his friend, brother, and teammate. What had been done. I can only say that she is my favorite author (tied with J.K. Rowling). Dorian decides to use Maeve and pretends he wants to ally with her. I almost finished with Empire of Storms and these two are just EVERYTHING to me. Maeve comes in and kills the girl. Can SJM just design our actual society?! Written for Day 1 of Elorcan Week 2022 - favorite Elorcan moment. I fangirled so hard!! I cried a ridiculous amount of times (for both happy and sad moments). Anything for the Lady of Perranth, he said, and lifted her up, bringing her back home. Marion Lochan Shed never heard such a joyous sound. She forged the Lock and closed the gate for good which prevents Erawan from being able to open the portal, BUT the gods wouldnt take Erawan. What they were going to do.. EEEEEEKKKK! The punch to her gut, so hard and precise that it knocked the wind from her. After all the amazing, emotional reunions, Aelin states, Shall we discuss where you all plan to march once we beat the living shit out of the army., Its such a perfect Aelin quote. Aelin is clearly struggling, but Rowan is there at her side. Not a true gem, but one infinitely more precious. This was one of the first things that brought them together in. SJM Kingdom of Ash crown shout out #2! And the absolute best part is when Dorian thinks to himself . She is falling too quickly though and she will miss her world. Even if this fractured darkness now dwelled within her, even if speech was difficult, she would show them what they wished to see. Aelin breaks free from the illusion! This is going to be ridiculously long . She wouldnt have it any other way. She then tries to use her power to get into Dorians mind to make him give her the keys. Aelin enters the Great Hall and finds Aedion. And so for Perranth, for his new home and his new people, he would rebuild. Yrene and Elide, getting home earlier, took it upon themselves to prepare dinner. #JudgeMe. The Fae and Wolf Tribe come through the portal and fight the Morath troops. Dorian said into the dark chasm of her mind, I was a slave once. When they did feature they imploded themselves to save everyone's asses and fulfil one of SJM's boring prophecies. Aelin let out a low laugh. Aelin picking rings for her and Rowan was the best! I love how she winks at Aelin! Like, when Lorcan first started hunting her I gasped out loud because hoLY SHIT THEY'RE PERFECT WHATTTT. With that, Lorcan took his son back to his room, being sure to take the scissors away. Its something you earn for yourself by choosing to do whats right. They are all going to return to the Wastes as one people. Spirit that could not be broken. It means so much that Sarah J. Maas included this message. Lorcan and Elide grow closer during their travels, and Lorcan eventually agrees to help Elide find Aelin. She not only keeps up with the fae males, but she contributes and is able to obtain extremely valuable information which ultimately leads them to Aelin. She is so fierce and clever! Aelin opens a portal into what appears to be forest north of Terrasen. PLEASE!!! Wow what an epic finale. So much of Rowans inner dialogue was heart wrenching. And then Aelin stood before Dorian and Chaol, and Rowan stepped back, falling into line beside Aedion, Fenrys, Lorcan, Elide, Ren, and Lysandra. GUYS! The sweet, the savory, Elide tried it all, gobbling down each bite and saving none for the male at her side. I probably cried the most during Aelin and Rowans last night together. The ring offers immunity from Valg, but is poison to the Valg. . Theyd taken care to either childproof or hide anything potentially dangerous. And before them all, swords raised to the sky as that horn blew one last time, the ruby in the blades pommel smoldering like a small sun . He apologizes to Dorian and tells him that he wants to pay the debt for Dorian. The are truly friends and love one another now. . . I am an emotional mess. Affiliations It didnt help, either, that she stopped at nearly every stand in the markets they passed, entranced by the lavish wares of the traders. They go back to the camp to get Fenrys. Well. I dont know how Aelin is still standing. Her kingdom. This part made me especially happy because it shows the better world that they have all been fighting for. He looked tooclean cut. Soyeah. I cant imagine dealing with the pressure that Aein is under. The shape-shifter who had defended their kingdom. We rejoin the battle in Orynth and discover that all of the weapons have run out. It seems like every time she gets a win, she learns that there are even more insanely difficult challenges ahead. Neither had Endovier. The Lord of the North stag and the Little Folk show up to guide Aelin to Orynth safely!! YES! eLIdE lImPEd tOwARd tHE rEaDYiNG pARty oF rUkS, gRiNdINg hER tEeTH sO hArD hEr jAw acHEd. Wow you seem pretty pressed about that accusation, girl! and says, Someone very wise recently told me that Terrasen is not merely a place, but an ideal. They would not be allowed to take this. My girl is a sweet-faced liar who uses all the skills in her arsenal to get what she wants and I love her. Youre my mate, he said, the words near-guttural. Maeve dies and, with all of their power joined, they burned her into ash. Her shaking eased, her body going still. I've just about had enough with Maas'need to pair up absolutely everyone in her novels :/ 1-2 romances is fine, not a whole prom worth of couples, holy crap. As the Thirteen, their broken bodies scattered around the tower in a near-circle, made the Yielding as well. She would not allow this waste of existence to do so now. No, that magnificent horse trampled them, fearless and wicked, just as Chaol has predicted. This is a turn for Lorcan: protecting instead of destroying, defending instead of attacking. Is elide in Tower of dawn? It was like a movie! Even if he knew his Fireheart would pretend otherwise.. It didnt take long before Lorcan saw it. . Walk with me, Aelin said to them, the men and males falling into step behind. Even gods-damned Aelin had some sense of the threat he posed." He takes the seed of power and kills Cyrene. To Terrasen, she said at last. ILorcan, this is ridiculous! The open door and roar of the river beyond. Rowan smirked. They are fighting for something and someone they believe in for the first time. He wasnt a fan. Will you?. Kingdom of Ash blew me away. and I still cant form complete sentences. . Their friendship and love for one another is so special. Aelin goes to him and the emotion is so raw. All Aelin has had for the past few months is Fenrys. The battle continues and the witches help, but even with the aid they are still going to lose. Like pulling a thread in a tapestry, and seeing just how far and wide in went. They refuse to go down without one last stand. . Dorian tries to summon Gavin, but instead Kaltain appears. Also, obviously, he only does this casual touch after he knows she'd be comfortable with it. Lorcan choose to take the oath because he knows its the only way to see Elide. This forest is full of Fae and the Wolf Tribe! Now that she is away from Cairn and Maeve, Aelin has a full blown panic attack. I think this, along with the vision of her mother, are two of the most inspiring scenes. We need to stand up and fight like Manon. It appears that they are going to make it through the gates and into the city. He didnt want Aelin to do it alone. Ive mentioned it already, but the two are irrevocably bonded for life because of what they endured together. Thank the Godsor whoever he should thank, nowfor that. Her mate. Even if this fractured darkness now dwelled within her, even if speech was difficult, she would show them what they wished to see. I am with you.. As if nine stars had been plucked from the heavens and set to shine along the simple silver band. Manon allows the Blueblood Matron, Cressida, to leave as a thanks to Petrah for allowing her to speak with her. Glennis finished, Let the land be witness. the battlefield where rulers and citizens of so many kingdoms, so many nations, had come to pay tribute. She was struggling to get a breath down, to get up, when Asterin reached Narene and mounted the blue mare, gathering the reins. Aelin decides she is done with the gods. An unbroken Fire-Bringer. She comes up with an idea to save them; taking Yrene with her, she finds Lysandra and they fly to find Dorian and Chaol. I cant feel memyself anymore. When she heard the stones falling to the ground, she went to investigate, worried something had gone wrongbut only saw Lorcan staring at where the tower used to be. Lady of Perranthand one of Aelins handmaidens. The happiness is kind of ruined for me, though, because Dorian has all three Wyrdkeys. This in turn makes Lorcan act like a regular person around her, which makes them both comfortable around each other. It appears that they are going to make it through the gates and into the city. To face down that place of pain and despair. . He would not obey. Aelin let out a low laugh. It was so funny to see her be the one shocked. During the final battle, Elide helps Yrene and the healers tend the wounded. Prone to mischief. Meh! Archive. Lorcan definitely grew on me in Kingdom of Ash. When Rowan said. Wondered if hed finally let the world see the parts of him he hides so deeply, the parts that he showed and gave to Elide every day, every night. BUT Rowan and Lorcan are able to fight the illusion. He has been playing her the entire time. Kingdom of Ash was the perfect conclusion to my favorite series. . Darrow smiledjust a bit. It was so dang cute when she asks Lorcan to marry her and he replies. The experience brought them so close together. For my home, new as it is. He would not serve. And perhaps give Maeve a piece of her mind. Totally something that a not jealous person would think; I understand. God, I just love Chaol and Yrene. Aelins theme song is Remember Us from the movie 300. series since she was 16 years old. Really, she needed a tour of that city, too. Even if he knew his Fireheart would pretend otherwise. Rowan is simply amazing and his love for his mate is beautiful. 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. He glanced to Rowan, and bowed his head. Rowan comes to her, but she cries out Fenrys name and the Cadre understand. They will be going through the Ferian Gap, but they need a guide. "You have to. All of it is for you.. Thank you.CUE THE TEARS AGAIN. Rowan is literally Aedions idol! . Maeve. Will you work to rebuild this kingdom, this world, with me tomorrow?. Before the King gives his whole self over to the Lock and disappears he gives Aelin a message from her parents. Take it. Who dies in the Kingdom of ash? Rhiannons crown is stunning . Maeve didnt understand that. We need to stand up and fight like Manon. . And there was Aedion at the thrones left. Lorcan couldnt remember the last time Elide had smiled. Rebuild it. But somehow, despite having every corner of the house childproofed, their eldest managed to get into the drawer holding the scissors. Not for them. Just snipped right off while he was asleep. . Let me tell you about my journey through the Throne of Glass series. Dorian and Aelin wield the keys and enter the Wyrdgate realm. . And then finally, Aelin sat upon her throne. I know that he is feeling so many conflicting emotions. Cyrene reveals that she can shape shift. Father: And I am yours.. Kaltain was used and abused by Morath and she still sacrificed herself to save Manon and Elide. To teach the children who might not realize they have the gift, and those who will be born with it. Because many of the Fae streaming in from the battlefield were descendants of the healers who had gifted the Torre women with their powers long ago. She knows how hard it is for Aelin to know that Fenrys is suffering too. I've always been interested in looking at why fictional couples work together: why characters love each other, and what the background explanation is for how they act around each other. He has all three!!!!! A huge chunk of his hair was missing, straight from the back. And then I teared up even more when Aedion tells Lysandra that he loves her!!! The least she could do was offer to meet. Aelin has been trying to get home forever. As one, they looked to Maeve. Together they would face this, together they would find a way. I also love how the Cadre fights together as brothers. She uses the Wyrdmarks to guide her, but shes still moving too fast. She has been brutalized, tortured, and broken, but she still runs. Glennis reveals herself to be Manons great-grandmother. Aelin still isnt sure that her rescue is real. It may be my favorite (or at least a very close second to Feyres in the ACOTAR series). I cried in almost every single one of Aelins captivity chapters. She did have a point. She has no expected release date for this book. Not just this battle. It works, but before Maeve leaves she tells Aelin that she will be bringing a collar back for Aelins neck. Who had deserved this new home as much as any of them. Plus, Elide is never really scared or intimidated of Lorcan in all the time she knows him, which is probably what makes it so easy for her to ultimately feel safe around him.
