Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass book 4) by Sarah J Maas
3/5 Stars
Yes, unpopular opinion. I gave a book with a 4.6 star rating on GoodReads 3 stars. I just, meh. My biggest problem was the personality change of Celaena/ Aelin, her insane hatred of Chaol (who has already paid for and apologise for the errors he has made - errors which I always thought were mostly out of his control in the first place) and C/A's obsessions with Rowan. I just thought it was very out of character. Not only that, but a large chunk of the book was insanely boring.Many other people gave better reviews than me on GoodReads - check out another 3 star review there so get the gist. I will not give up on the series, because there has always been a lot of potential, but I am sad this was not enjoyable and I won't be rushing out to buy the next book.
