Beginning:
There was a thing waiting in the darkness.Friday 56:
"You look like a man who got punched in the balls," she said at last.This week I am reading Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas. This is the 4th book in this amazing fantasy series. Here is the description from Amazon:
He cut a glare in her direction. And because he did indeed feel that way, because maybe he was again feeling a bit shattered and reckless, he told her what had happened. Who it had happened with.
Everyone Celaena Sardothien loves has been taken from her. 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...
She has embraced her identity as Aelin Galathynius, Queen of Terrasen. But before she can reclaim her throne, she must fight.
She will fight for her cousin, a warrior prepared to die just to see her again. She will fight for her friend, a young man trapped in an unspeakable prison. And she will fight for her people, enslaved to a brutal king and awaiting their lost queen's triumphant return.
Celaena's epic journey has captured the hearts and imaginations of millions across the globe. This fourth volume will hold readers rapt as Celaena's story builds to a passionate, agonizing crescendo that might just shatter her world.
QoS is one of my favourite books last year! SJ Maas is a master and I cannot wait for the 5th in this series in September. Happy reading!
