Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J Maas



Synopsis :

 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 for her. 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.
This is what I say :  

 Queen of Shadows which is the forth book in the Throne of Glass Novels is the most intense book so far.  There's just to many important and thrilling moments that made this book my favourite thus far...from the assassination of the King of Assassin, to blowing up the tower that controls magic, to the rescue or assassination of Prince Dorian.

 And it is only in this book that I began to seriously pay attention to The Thirteen.  I never thought I would like Manon Blackbeak, the Wing Leader of The Thirteen as I skip parts of previous titles involving her story. My bad.  

 Queen of Shadows will be followed by book 5, Empire of Storm.

 Can't wait :)

I found this song on youtube that sums up the story of witches in the Throne of Glass universe and while there's some spoiler, I really like this song.  It's rather haunting and sad.

 The title of the song is Song of The Witch Kingdom and the writer/singer is Victoria Carbol.  The characters in the youtube videos are cosplayers but yes, I can imagine that's Manon in her red cape and at the far left is Asterin, her Second in command and next to Manon is Sorrel, her Third in command.
