Although, I DO prefer Aedion and Rowan to Chaol (but not Dorian)...

My bad. :P But I'm glad you mostly liked it! I agree Elide was very underwhelming...and Idek, I feel like Chaol/Dorian got replaced with Aedion/Rowan, but they have less backstory and attachment so it didn't feel right?<br />But glad you liked it!! :DCG @ Paper Furyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14954615708675952085noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-73501485589352990232016-03-13T23:13:04.225-04:002016-03-13T23:13:04.225-04:00Nooooo!

If I wasn't so invested and excited about the story it would have annoyed me a lot more than it did. And as much as I like the romance...where did the strong friendship go? I miss friendships in books.

I didn't really enjoy this book? I know literally EVERYONE did (I haven't come across someone who rated it lower than 3.5), but I thought it was too slow. I agree with you on how the author seemed to change her mind - I was looking forward to Rowan/Aelin being purely platonic, so I'm disappointed they're now together. I missed Dorian too! <br /><br />Denise | <a href="www.thebibliolater.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">The Bibliolater</a>Dulcie @ Riot Grrrl Readshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10592564973574638773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-914989030918609235.post-54377785693698196732016-03-12T23:56:36.429-05:002016-03-12T23:56:36.429-05:00HEIR OF FIRE IS EVERYTHING, REBEKAH!

As you mentioned, it certainly sounds like the orginal Glass Castle gang have come a long way since the first book and that their characters have also progressed loads too. Basically, I want to read about wyverns and magic and awesome people. But I'm scared too meet all these new characters. Omg the dilemma. Anyway, I'm so pleased you enjoyed Queen of Shadows! I'm sure I'll find the courage to continue this series soon.
