After a ghostly (and vague) wake-up call, Celaena tackles yet another test. Oh yeah…another Champion has been killed but no big deal apparently. The test proves to be the trickiest yet but Celaena receives some much needed help from an unlikely source. She also saves the life of a sassy but adorable puppy so all in all it was a good day (except for a very odd encounter with Cain). Kaltain deals with a massive headache, aka Caitlyn’s Duke. Meanwhile, Nehemia receives some tragic news.
Feyre gets to meet with our favorite cadaver loving monster to try to get a better bargain out of him…good luck with that. The High Lords continue to bicker on where to hold their meeting…which is only a few days away so no rush or anything. Finally, Thesan and the Dawn Court are tapped as the host which was the obvious choice from the beginning in our opinion. In preparation for the meeting, Feyre gets a new accessory that we would all kill for. Of course, not to be outdone, Nesta declares she is coming along too…what could go wrong?
We sound like a broken record here but once again there is a murder! Granted this time, we truly aren’t that sad when we find out who the victim is. Celaena plays the Watson to Chaol’s Sherlock…well really its vice versa. Dorian tries to get to know our lovable assassin better while Kaltain is scheming and Chaol is in a one-sided staring contest with Caitlyn’s Duke.
Okay for real this time...we start out with the aftermath of the battle in the Summer Court. Feyre and Rhys have a tense and less than promising reunion with Daddy T. But really, who came blame him for being a bit grumpy? Back at the Illyrian war camp, Rhys and Feyre give each other recaps on their own battles and then...well, let's just say that if the tent is rocking, don't come knocking!
This week we see the aftermath of the battle in the Summer Court…or do we? Sike!
Following yet another gruesome murder that no one seems that troubled by, Celaena and Nehemia admire (well more like stare) at the rather ugly clock tower for a bit. That is before the hulking oaf called Cain interrupts and makes it very clear he knows a big secret…yikes! Celaena’s quest to learn more about the Wyrdmarks leads her to a less than productive study session with Chaol. Her research leads her to a rather creepy book with a very familiar title. Dorian gets to witness the most feared assassin in Erilea have a meltdown over a game of pool.
Daddy T and the people of the Summer Court are under attack! The Inner Circle moves swiftly to come to their aid…while no one else does (rude). The Illyrian Legions remind the world of why you don’t screw with the Night Court. Meanwhile, Feyre and Mor reign terror on Hybern’s troops at the palace in order to save the faeries trapped there. Let’s just say that you truly don’t want to piss either of them off ever. The King of Hybern once again resorts to his desperate tricks and petty monologues and we are left hating him more than ever.
Hybern’s parrots are plucked by Rhys. Amren goes on the hunt throughout Velaris and we would be lying if we said it didn’t sound scary AF. We get yet another insane revelation when Az finally puts it together that Elain is a SEER! With that knowledge, the gang realizes Elain may hold the key to finding a much needed ally…too bad its Lucien who volunteers to go find her. Everyone is prepping for the High Lords’ meeting when Hybern does the unthinkable…he goes all Battleship on Daddy T and his pleasure barge! The audacity!
Well...I guess everyone learned a valuable lesson i.e. listen to Elain! The King of Hybern's parrots arrive in the library to steal away Nesta since she casually incapacitated the Cauldron. The villains' monologues reveal that the youngest mortal queen is in desperate need of botox. Feyre chooses door #3 and we are introduced to the most wholesome, terrifying monster of Prythian, the Darling of Darkness.
Finally there is no puking in these chapters! Granted there is a gruesome dinner scene…oops, we mean murder scene. On top of that, Celaena finds herself having a nice long chat with a Queen…who has been dead for 1,000 years. After some exceedingly vague warnings, Celaena does what any sane person would do…she goes to the library! Needless to say, things are starting to get even stranger in the Glass Castle and we have so many questions!
