#LittensLoveSJM #TOG book 2 Ch 19-21: I feel so bad for Celaena. Not only does she have to contend with the year she spent in Endovier, but also the death of her parents and all the atrocities she saw during that time. And let‘s not forget losing Sam in such a terrible way. She is really strong to be able to cope (and yes - cake helps). I wonder if Chaol or Dorian can ever really understand her. ⬇️

StayCurious Not even Nehemia for that matter has been through what she has. It must make it difficult to make lasting connections. 16h
mcctrish Chaol gave up his family to be where he is and is slowly ( maybe) realizing it‘s all for naught, Nehemia has had atrocities rained down upon her people but personal loss and torture, nobody has Celeana beat 16h

5feet.of.fury The cake thing is very cute. I feel like their circumstances will doom this relationship but Celaena deserves some fun times with Chaol after all that trauma 16h
Butterfinger I think the men truly want to help. There's lust, but they back away when asked. Chaol knows she needs a friend, knows there isn't anything he can do. It's awful she has to bear it alone. The witch - that was a gruesome description. Plus, Maas didn't want us to forget the violence that Celaena can give. 13h
Read4life @Butterfinger I agree. I think both of the guys care and are at a loss as to how to behave. Not only do they care about her but they also are aware that they need to be careful how others see their relationship with her. Caring too deeply can put an even bigger target on her. 10h
Littlewolf1 Sometimes I forget that she is 18 years old. We judge her rash decisions because she‘s supposed to be this great assassin and she supposed to be so tough, but she is still just a kid. It breaks my heart for her, knowing what she had to endure just to survive. 2h

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch.16-18: Poor Dorian! What is happening to him? Is he being used by his father, Perrington & their newest club member Roland? Or is he coming into powers he had buried deep? That‘s dangerous in Adarlan! I do think Archer is up to something and is not giving Celaena good intel. I also think Celaena was probably right in thinking the eye riddle has something to do with her amulet. She needs to trust her instincts.

BarkingMadRead Omg I hope Dorian has magic, so epic 2d
5feet.of.fury Agree, Archer is scheming and trying to set a trap for Celaena. Hopefully Nehemia can help Dorian understand what‘s going on with his magic! 2d

mcctrish I think Celeana being found in the office was a set up. I hope Dorian has magic and not him being manipulated by the #blackringbrotherhood Nehemia sensed his magic I think 2d
Butterfinger Love the tag @mcctrish Dorian stood up to the council on Nehemia's behalf. I want to see the four of them band together and fight the king. 2d
mcctrish @Butterfinger yes please 2d
Roary47 Im also hoping that Nehemia unlocked his powers! @BarkingMadRead @5feet.of.fury @mcctrish Since I am also #TeamChoal I love that he danced with Celeana. 🥰 2d
Littlewolf1 I am proud of Dorian. I just wished he had more influence over the council. 20h

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch. 13-15: Well, in case we didn‘t know how horrible the King is, his actions with the singer proved it. How terrible! I was intrigued with what Celaena found in the library. So many places to explore in this castle - as it should be. As for Dorian, I worry that they might start to try to control him as they were doing with Kaltain. He had a headache and he was surrounded by frost. What does that mean? Interest piqued.

mcctrish I wonder how long before anyone knows what happened to Rena Goldsmith? And I think Dorian is being influenced - will he tell anyone ? 3d
BarkingMadRead Dorian better watch out, if his dad thinks he‘s dangerous, this could be the end for him! Poor Rena, but she was so brave! 3d

LiseWorks I was shocked that the king actually beheaded her. Oh, now I'm worried about Dorian 3d
Butterfinger Oh goodness, what a chapter. I really felt for Dorian. I think that "look" between Chaol and Caelena is from trust. She could not fully trust Dorian because he is the son of the brutal king. Will Rena's death propel more rebellion? Will Nemehiah feel it? I loved the image of the lighted grooves that was part of the art on the walls. That was cool. 3d
Littlewolf1 So when people ask me how I can read multiple books at one time, I always refer to the series. I remembered why, but I felt why today rereading these chapters. I love the series. It‘s still one of my all-time favorites and my favorite by SJM, but it gets pretty dark. I really hate that though singer died, but i‘m glad she had the strength to stand up to tyranny. I‘m also glad Dorian‘s ready to let Selena go, because he truly deserves happiness. 2d
Roary47 @Littlewolf1 I agree this is my favorite SJM series. I don‘t remember much of what happened when I first read it so I‘m falling in love with this series all over again. I‘m worried for Dorian, and Rena was so brave! I‘m not really surprised that the king had her beheaded, but I‘m glad there is a group of people out there looking to bring someone in for the people instead of self interest. 2d

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch 10-12: has Celaena lost her edge? I feel like she should be better than getting poisoned by a mark/she should anticipate these types of things. Now the question is- did Archer set her up? Or is he innocent in the whole thing? And why did his client have that book? Too bad she couldn‘t have brought it to Nehemia to translate. Thank heavens Celaena made it to Chaol - one of the only people she could trust to help her.

BarkingMadRead That was so stressful, and really not good for an assassin to get caught like that! 4d
mcctrish I wondered about Archer too 4d
See All 8 Comments
Butterfinger It was hard to get through the trafficking part. And, how many names does that girl have? 4d
Littlewolf1 She always tends to be reckless, and seems to have an “ I can‘t be touched” mentality. But that has gotten her into trouble in the past, and the reason why she lost Sam. While I don‘t like the fact that she got hurt, I think she needed a reminder that she is human and needs to be more careful, because she‘s not the only one at risk if she gets caught. 3d
5feet.of.fury Agree about Archer, that seemed like really convenient timing. Celaena def got too cocky. 3d
Roary47 Is Archer really still her friend? There is something deeper here, but maybe someone else recognized her with him. So glad she made it to Choal. 😥 3d
Read4life So many questions. I love how Maas can make us love a character in one moment, question their integrity and intentions in the next and then utterly loathe them. All to start the cycle again. 3d

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch.7-9: Celaena has decided to look into what the King‘s up to. Just because she finds out his plans doesn‘t mean she has to be the one to stop him. Right? Haha, she‘s funny because she‘s trying so hard to stay out of the intrigue. But the intrigue keeps finding her. I felt bad for Kaltain - she has been used and abused by Perrington and - although she may have had bad intentions, ⬇️

StayCurious I can‘t help but feel bad that she‘s rotting away in that prison. I‘m intrigued about what Celaena will say to Archer when she sees him. How to warn him and also gain info? He probably won‘t trust her since she works for the king. 5d
LiseWorks Yeah, I feel bad for Kaltain, too! She is an addict who lost her way, and now Perrington is abusing her even in prison. 5d
See All 9 Comments
5feet.of.fury It really shows Celaenas good nature that she feels empathy towards Kaltain. 5d
BarkingMadRead I can‘t wait to see how it goes with Archer 5d
Roary47 Poor Kaltain. 💔 Also excited to see what comes next. 5d
Littlewolf1 I still feel really bad for Dorian. He feels absolutely betrayed, and Celaena has never been really good at accountability, she‘s working on it, but she‘s not there yet. It‘s hard for me to discuss Kaitlyn though because this is a reread for me as I loved the series and I wanted to go through it again. But I will say she‘s going through it right now, and no one should have to live that life. 5d
mcctrish @Littlewolf1 it‘s a reread for me too but I can‘t remember anything much. I want to say Perrington is still going to visit Kaltain to exert magical influence over her and keep her befuddled ( not sexually exploit her which it kind of reads like) @LiseWorks I feel like her addiction is in reaction the the pressure of the magic on her and I vaguely remember the king and Peri talking about further uses for K somehow 5d
Butterfinger I know Kaltain was a brat, but I can't stand to see her so broken. I hope she is rescued before those headaches kill her. Before, the reader could tell she was being manipulated by Perrington. Now, they are being maliciously secretive with drugs or magic to keep her under their thumb. 4d

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch.4-6: I liked in these chapters how we got glimpses into Celaena‘s past - we learn a bit more about Sam, and a few other characters from the underworld Celaena was a part of. Poor thing is so against being a part of something bigger - she revolts at the thought of fate. That she could be something bigger than herself. She just wants to get her freedom and hide out for the rest of her life. ⬇️

StayCurious And who can blame her after what she went through. But life has other plans and deep down she knows it. Are we sad that she‘s pushing Dorian away? Are we worried about the trouble Roland will bring? Do we like Chaol for her? I‘m torn. 6d
LiseWorks I'm sad she is pushing Dorian away. Roland is trouble. 6d
See All 11 Comments
mcctrish Realistically Chaol is a better partner and could maybe help her in her quest, Roland is bad news. The triangle grates on me but truthfully they are all too young to be thinking about love matches 👵🏻😆 6d
Read4life I honestly go back and forth between Chaol and Dorian. Roland seems like trouble. 6d
StayCurious @mcctrish I was surprised Chaol had such an important job at 22 6d
mcctrish And he‘s never killed anybody until Cain #notbelievable 6d
Butterfinger I think of them as three friends who care so much for each other. Goodness, she was getting mad at that doorknob, but it reminded me that we didn't have any more positive scenes of magic since those flower petals at the opening of her tent. Other than Nemehiah was doing. 6d
mcctrish @Butterfinger yes, on all counts. So the magic in/around the castle was worked before the ban and is stronger so still present. Those onyx rings the king and Perrington wear must be similar magic. I wonder if the hit list contains anyone who has magical inclinations ? 6d
Littlewolf1 @LiseWorks I agree, he was always there for her and, i know she is doing it to protect herself and hime, but its leaves him so confused. 5d
Roary47 I agree with @mcctrish I think Chaol is a better more logical partner for her and I‘ve been #TeamChaol this whole time. I noticed that she stated she did miss Dorian as a friend. @Butterfinger I laughed so hard at the doorknob. It reminded me of the doorknob in Alice in Wonderland (So I love the meme). Roland is definitely someone we should keep our eyes on 👀. (edited) 5d

#LittensLoveSJM #TOG Book 2 Ch.1-3: Ooh Celaena is playing a dangerous game. How long can she keep sparing the King‘s targets? One of them is bound to come back from the dead at some point. But I also admire her bravery. Will she ever be able to tell Chaol and Dorian? Can she trust them? I am intrigued to learn more about this Archer character. ⬇️

StayCurious Will Celaena be able to keep her mind focused around someone she used to like and admire? I was surprised she wasn‘t completely open with Nehemia. If anyone should know what she‘s up to it should be her I‘d think. 7d
mcctrish It‘s Dorian and Chaol are so squeamish over the deaths it‘s funny 7d
See All 11 Comments
StayCurious @mcctrish seriously - never saw a more squeamish captain of the guard 7d
5feet.of.fury I kind of wish we weren‘t told so early that she wasn‘t killing them, it would have been neat if that was a big reveal down the line 7d
LiseWorks I am worried that she will be found out. Do you think Chaol suspects something ? 7d
Roary47 @5feet.of.fury I agree, I wish we wouldn‘t have known so early. I also feel relief that she isn‘t actually killing them. It helps me solidify who I feel she is after reading the first book. She is making allies that can hopefully help her if this plan goes south. (edited) 7d
Butterfinger @5feet.of.fury @Roary47 I was sort of glad it was revealed in the 2nd chapter. I guess I am squeamish like the boys, and I just didn't like the thought of a character who I like doing something so ugly. She seems to me to be scared of being part of any rebellion. I want to know why. Is it to protect her friends or what she experienced as a child? And, I further think she is being rebellious by allowing the targets to escape. 7d
Littlewolf1 Hope you don‘t mind, but I‘m jumping in this with you guys kind of last minute. I‘ve been meaning to do this re-read for a while and got stuck after book one, so this is perfect timing. 6d
StayCurious @Littlewolf1 welcome! We‘d love to have you! 6d
BarkingMadRead I was glad to see that she wasn‘t killing them, I hate that she has to pretend to Chaol and Nehemia 6d

Pickpick

I feel like this series just gets better with each instalment. The tension in this one was peak, with so many secrets and mysteries coming to fruition and being uncovered. Celaena/Aelin really comes into her own and claims the power meant to be hers; Manon struggles to find her true path; NOTHING is how it seemed at all. An excellent read , and SJM always ramps it up so much at the end so that you can‘t wait to get to the next book.
