I felt like the entire time I’d read it that it was filled with so much high-octane events and amazing characters how could anyone not appreciate that!

In my opinion, it’d felt like we’d gotten to see a lot that we’d been waiting a long time for: the reveal of the big villain behind everything, the meeting of many new characters, certain character interactions happening, and of course, the possibility of justice to the realm of Adarlan.įor a few though, they say things like how it feels more like fanfiction from it’s own author, how certain characters have been pushed aside, and the series has gone in a direction that may not have been the best choice…They say plenty of other things, but I politely & respectfully disagree as I personally say Queen of Shadows is actually one of the author’s better written books. I for one absolutely loved it-as you can tell by my star rating above-for many reasons. A major change to the tone and the overall feel of these books was evident, and whether or not that’s a good thing really depends on who you ask within the Throne of Glass fandom. It was obvious-even back during Heir of Fire-that the series had taken a massive shift. Queen Of Shadows is a particularly interesting part of the series because of a few reasons. We’ve also met plenty of memorable characters along the way too some that will be major players for the battle ahead! We’ve gotten to know her as a character, see her bloody past and her mistakes, and to see her grow before our eyes as readers.
