In Heir of Fire: "Uggh not a Manon chapter again! In Queen of Shadows: "F YES A MANON CHAPTER! I went from disliking her to her being my favourite character

I loved when Rowan was like "Thank you for the oil, my skin was a little dry" I DIED

Anyone shipping Aedion and Lysandra?? Please tell me I'm not alone....

Nobody appreciates Lysandra's jeweler who makes all the fake jewelry

My ships: Rowan and Aelin Chaol and Nesryn Dorian and Manon Aedion and Lsyandra And as of now I feel like my ships are SUPERIOR TO EVERY OTHER SHIP I WILL GO DOWN WITH THESE

I shiped chaol and celeana until heir of fire. THEN FREAKING ROWAN CAME AROUND AND I JUST DIED

Is it just me who thinks Aelin is pronounced ay-lynn?

Spoiler: DUDE, WHEN MANON LEFT THE MESSAGE FOR CELAENA OF HEY WITCHKILLER, THE HUMAN IS STILL IN THERE. I died. Ded. SHE SAVED DORIAN BECAUSE OF THE FEELS!!!!

I mean my ship has holes but your ship is Titanic 😂

I wanted to punch Chaol the first part of the book.

I’m such Rowan trash, like if something happens to him i’ll cry like a lil bish for ages

Sarah J Maas has converted me to a proud Rowan x Aelin shipper. Also IN THIS BOOK I SEE LYSANDRA SUBTLY FLIRTING WITH AEDION I FEEL LIKE THIS IS GOING TO BE A THING.

Celorian shippers: Huddled on a forgotten lifeboat set adrift in the middle of a vast ocean of tears/silver. Chaol and Celaena shippers (was there ever even a good ship name?): They were on a rowboat that was drenched in oil and set aflame and went up in an inferno every time chaol opened his mouth. Then as they clung to the charred pieces of wood they were smashed into bits on the rocky surf... Rowlin? shippers: Cruising in a majestic pirate ship (like the one from Peter Pan that could fly) that rose up out of the ocean with the sunrise in the background and the Anthem of the World playing while welcoming the surviving chaol shippers to climb aboard.

ROWAELIN MANORIAN AND I REALLY SHIPPED AEDION AND LYSANDRA

I really teared up at the scene where we saw chaols men hunh up dead and I kept thinking about Res shyly telling caelena she looked nice and ugh it was just such a sad moment, also my fave scenes were EVERY ROWAN SCENE EVER

I've got to say, I'm starting to feel the Aedion x Lysandra ship...

If my PERFECT Rowan dies I will quit reading this series! He is my bae and if he dies, I will be torn to shreds! I'm #teamrowan all the way with aelin! And maybe if she gets all those wrydkeys she'll become immortal! Just Sarah j mass please don't kill him off!

I was totally on board with Chaol and Celeana up until this book. I like Chaol with Celeana, but Celeana is no longer Celeana anymore. She's Aelin. And I prefer Aelin with Rowan, so I just don't know how to feel anymore.

I hated Lysandra in the assassins blade, and you need to read the assassins blade because the main source of my crying in QoS was whenever Sam was mentioned. And I am forever in denial over his death.

those of you who are asking if i've given up on CELORIAN? of course not! as i've said and said again: I WILL GO DOWNN WITH THIS SHIPPPPPP I'LL NEVER LET GO #CELORIAN NEVER LET GO

Did anybody pick up on the famous "healer" chaol has to see? *cough cough * the Assassins blade. I bet anybody 20 bucks that healer will return

"How can one even have a boyfriend when one has a Rowan?" PUT THAT ON A T-SHIRT.

I love how your eye makeup ended up being everywhere else on your body lmao.

My favourite scenes. .. When they brought down they Glass Castle Manon VS. Aelin fight The nightgown scene... The scene when at long last Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home...it made me silver up...

I'm still surprised how you guys are not talking about Sam and how celeana said "you would've been a wonderful king" during that fucking scene SAM WILL FOREVER BE THE ONE OK I'M STILL CRYING BYE

Is it pronounced Aline? I've been pronouncing Aye-Lin!

THIS BOOK IS MY FAVORITE Manon is my queen i love her with all my heart and soul and the aelin/manon fighting scene killed me like i coULD NOT STOP SCREAMING the aedion/lyssandra ship is sailing and i am so on board. I HAD BEEN WAITING FOR THIS BOOKTALK EVER SINCE I FINISHED THE BOOK THANK YOU SO MUCH CHRISTINE I LOVED IT

I just finished this book like 2 hours ago!! IT MADE ME LAUGH. CRY. AND CRY. AND SMILE. MY GOD SOMEBODY TALK TO ME. I AM DEAD.

I'm still team Celorian for life, but if that doesn't happen I am totally on board with Manon/Dorian

Am I the only Team ....Manon and Dorian?....Someone give me the ship name

I saw Aelin/Rowan coming from Heir of Fire. I knew it would happen and I am so #TEAMRowan. I absolutely hate Chaol...like I never liked him...didn't care for his 15mins Aelin either. Of course Dorian had to be saved! I like Manon and I can totally see her and Dorian forging a new Ardalan together.

I was a hardcore Celaena/Chaol shipper for the first two books. But once Rowan started opening up in Heir of Fire, I think I realized Chaol wasn't endgame. And at the end when she took off the ring, I knew she had moved on. And I don't necessarily think it was about not being about to forgive him because of Nehemia. I feel like she could have forgiven him in time. But I think it's because she had allowed herself to be Aelin for the first time since her childhood. Chaol and Celaena were together, but not Chaol and Aelin. I feel happy that they've parted ways and have found love in other people. Especially because HOLY HELL ROWAN. Hot damn, I am waiting for a sex scene between those two because every scene they were teasing each other was hot as hell. I love Rowan and I'm so glad he decided to let himself be with Aelin, even if something were to happen to one of them and it destroys the other. He needed to find love again and Aelin needed someone to ground her. I ship Rowan/Aelin hard.

I was pretty sure i read this the first time but I just looked at it again on page 557, "He could smell her now---the immortal, mighty blood in her veins" (valg dorian talking about aelin) and she's not in her fae form here, so i guess she's immortal

OH MA GAWD. HEALER. SOUTHERN CONTINENT. THE ASSASSIN AND THE HEALER. CHAOL. THE HEALER. OH. MAH. GAWD.

OMG, I LOST IT at the part of the dinner scene where Rowan went up to Arobynn like "thanks for the oil, my skin was a little dry." I was laughing hysterically. And then when his knee jerked up and hit the table as they were mind-talking about 17 year old Celaena... basically all of the Rowaelin banter scenes made me laugh. Also, retweet: "How can one have a boyfriend, when one has a Rowan?" SO TRUE. I loved the part at the end where Aelin made Lysandra a Lady of Terrasen and gave her the land. Kinda hope she names it Lysandraland. :P xD

I ship Chaol and Dorian together tbh

the minute Rowan entered heir of fire I started shipping him with Aelin more than any ship I've ever shipped, I was so confused because no one else seemed to ship them and I was just drying with the ship and all the bffs bullshit AND NOW MY OTP HAS RISEN AND I AM THE HAPPIEST HUMAN BEING ALIVE I'm so blessED. they're perfect together LIKE I ALWAYS KNEW THEY WOULD BE. I seriously screamed when Rowan came in Queen of shadows I was so happy. and tbh I've loved the witches from the very beginning, i loved Manon from the beginning and loved the chapters with her as much as the ones with Aelin just everything I wanted to happen happened in this book

Christine, did you notice this in the book? Lysandra talking about Wes: "She would find that love again--one day. And it would be deep and unrelenting and unexpected, the beginning and the ending and eternity, the kind that could change history, change the world." - QOS pg. 373 And then with Dorian and Aelin: "They joined hands. So the world ended. And the next one began. They were infinite. They were the beginning and the ending; they were eternity." -QOS pg. 575 This can't be a coincidence!!! I'm still 100% holding on to Doraelin/Celorian!!!

I was very proud of Chaol when he said that Aelin's Magic was beautiful :')

HER NAME IS AY-LIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

My eyes were overflowing with silver because of Celorian.

CHOALEANA, I cried for literally forever when Sarah shattered my shipping dreams. Why would she do this??? It was all perfect. Rowan should have just stayed like a brother and I cannot stop this torrent of rant because I've been bottling this in since I read the book and AAGHHGHBHHBGHG!!!

The Aelin/Dorian best-friendship is SO GOOD THO it's perfect

As someone who shipped Rowan and Aelin but was like, "Nah, there is some hinting, but they're probably just going to remain friends though," I am so happy this book has been such a gift. But literally everything was so perfect I can't even.

The best part is at 7:23 when Christine is talking about Rowan and Aelin’s relationship and how it’s platonic and then crazy Christine cuts for a second only to say “L I E S” and then cuts back to calm Christine expanding on their relationship

I think Arobynn just gives a pirate vibe because I imagined him as Hook from OUAT! Also omg I totally missed that thing about Arobynn and being a ghost and if he's alive I'm going to scream I THOUGHT WE WERE DONE HERE and I was really confused about the witches, too, like they were using the term witch and witchling interchangeably and I was so confused as to how they reproduced without diluting their bloodlines??

Can’t believe no one is talking about when Kaltain PULLED THE SECOND WYRDKEY FROM HER ARM LIKE THAT WAS CRAZY!!!

Asterin's story had me in hysterics. I was on the floor at 3 am, sobbing.

I loved the witches so much in this! I think they were my favourite chapters to read, also I am really loving the idea of Dorian and Manon!

Is it weird that I picture you as Aelin?

I ship chaol and celaena not chaol and aelin. you get this?

i was so happy when the chaolena ship ended

Chaol: How dare you have been in Wendlyn training and meeting Fae princes while things have sucked here in Rifthold Me: Chaol you LITERALLY SENT HER THERE IT WAS NOT HER CHOICE Take at least a little responsibility for your actions!!

'Stop and stare you used to ship us but we're going nowhere' hahahahahhaha ~ Nice one ;)

This video literally made my day!!! I can't believe I have to wait another year for the next book😭

I have been waiting for this since the day it came out. Finale!!!! I'm so happy and excited

Wait a minute, how were you reading in the shower?!

"We meet this new character Lysandra" 😂 OHMYGOD! You must read the Assassin's Blade! You don't know how much you're missing! Also anytime I finish a book and am completely freaking out I go straight to your booktalks because they are freaking amazing. The contrast between the first talk and the refilmed one give me life.😂😁👍

I literally love how passionate you are! It's like these are all my emotions while reading all in 21 minutes.

I was so excited to finish this book so I could listen to your book talk! Like always you said exactly what I was feeling!

TBH the only think that annoys me in this series is that the author it not capable of writing a male character that doesn't want to kill or fuck the main character, oh and the cycle of making ONE guy seems awesome in each book and make all the other male character appear emo/idiots/jealous in comparison book, Dorian> Chaol > Rowan/Aedion. Yeah that's really annoying. I'm just waiting the next book for something go wrong with Rowan and someone more "awesome" appear and fall in love for Aelin.

You're so mean to Chaol, it makes my heart hurt. You don't give him enough credit! And while I agree that Chaolaena is not likely to happen (which I'll be okay with as long as they stay close friends) I think that Celorian has a slim chance also. Like he was pretty set on Sorscha, who I absolutely hated, and OMG remember when Dorian said he couldn't remember a lot of things from when the demon prince was inside of him? Well guess what he did remember? MANON'S NAME!!!!!!!!!!!

CHRISTINE. this is THE BEST book talk you've ever done. this whole video is a gem. I will watch this over and over to when I start getting anxious for book 5.

Christine, I absolutely love love love watching your booktalks because they resonate so much with me!!! You express the same feelings that I have while reading these books and I find it so entertaining and amazing to watch!!! :D

Christine, you should really read The Assassin's Blade! I'd love to hear your thoughts on it :)

No, Christine, Rowan cannot die. I cannot handle that.

THIS VIDEO IS EVERYTHING ILY CHRISTINE !!

YAY QUEEN OF SHADOWS BOOK TALK IVE BEEN WAITING FOR THIS MOMENT

This was so great and well edited Christine =D CELORIAN 5 EVER!

manon and Dorian chaol and nesryn rowan and alein aedion and laysandra

LOVED THIS BOOKTALK (and all your others for that matter)! I think that this is the best book in the series so far, I absolutely LOVED it! I loved all the battle scenes as per usual, especially the Manon vs. Aelin showdown!

This is probably the best book talk from you I've ever watched! Raw emotions are the best, and it's amazing how coherent and organized with your thoughts you still are despite being obviously consumed with feels haha!

Is it bothering anyone else that she's pronouncing Aelyn and Elide the same way?

I love the respect Manon and Aelin have for eachother

Your makeup in this is so pretty!!! I love it!!

Yes! Been waiting for this booktalk to come out :D

This book talk was everything I wanted and more! The reanactment of Chaol's nonsense was my favourite part! 😅 My favourite part was when Rowan put on the almond oil.

I am so annoyed by the fact you havent read assasin's blade, its a prequel to Throne of Glass. you wouldve understand Aelin and Lysandra so much better and the fact about the southern continent and the Torra Cesme thing. you would probably explode because of all the things you can connect to each other and all the theory you would understand more now.

Sooo much passion and opinions in this video, I love it!! I laughed so much and agreed with you on so many levels.

Just finished this book and, of course, had to watch your book talk. Loved the video, and the book! Love these videos.😍

I'M NOT EVEN KIDDING, I FINISHED THIS BOOK LIKE... 50 MINUTES AGO HOW WELL DID WE TIME THIS LIKE WHAAAAT?

One of my favourite bits of the book was when chaol woke up after the glass castle was destroyed and it was like 'The Afterworld looked an awful lot like a bedroom in the stone castle.' I literally read that over and over and laughed my head off every time 😂

I LIVE FOR YOUR BOOKTALKS!!

Loving it Christine!!!! So glad you finished it!!! Will read it soon.

This book made me SO FREAKING CONFUSED on who to ship. Right now, I only seriously ship Celaena/Aelin with Dorian, but I don't MIND Aelin and Rowan or Dorian and Manon. I like Nesryn and Chaol together, and I like Lysandra and Aedion, but I don't really ship them, yet. But I feel like Celaena/Dorian should be endgame if she's still mortal, but I don't think it's gonna happen 😭😭 But how freaking cool was the ending though?? When Aelin and Dorian joined together and fought the darkness from the king, and I felt so bad when the king returned to the person he had used to be, I mean I just felt bad for everyone possessed by the Valg in this book because most of them were once nice, kind people and now they were just forced to do terrible things. Also, Dorian coming back to himself YESS. I like Manon, I really enjoyed seeing her develop feelings, and start to feel sympathy and care for other people. I can't wait to see her give her Grandmother what she deserves. That witch needs to die, ASAP. Also that scene when magic returned?? OMG and Lysandra shifting into that ghost leopard?? It was so frickin amazing I can't even. And Kaltain sacrificing herself to kill everyone in that dungeon, and to bring down Morath....YESSS I've loved reading these books, binging them over the past few days. Sarah J. Maas is an amazing author. She's definitely made my favourites list along with Cassandra Clare and JK Rowling. I don't know how, but I'm enjoying every single book in this series even more than the last and I can't freaking WAIT till Empire of Storms, it's gonna be amazing.

I love all that moment when Aelin and Lysandra were napping and Aedion came in to wake them up and Lysandra chased him out in her ghost leopard form then he came back thirty minutes later to splash water on them😂😂😂

My favorite scene is when Aelin when to visit Sam's grave, that scene brought me to tears. Great book talk Christine! I can't wait for the other books!! xoxo

EVERYTIME I FINISH THE SARAH J MASS BOOK I COME BACK HERE AND FANGIRL Thanks for the recommendation, you're a big part of what got me in this series and I love it

The famous healer Chaol is going to find is definitely the healer that Aelin/Celaena helped in the past and alludes to when talking about the pull of threads of fate when fighting and saving Manon!

I think Chaol and Nesryn will run into the healer and Ansel from The Assassins Blade in the 5th book

Ok but I LOVED Aedion he’s just a big mood and I loveee it

i've just recently started the tog series and every time i finish a book i'm so excited to watch your videos on them!!! I'm so excited to finish eos so i can watch

My current ships are ROWAELIN ♥, Manorian (but quite possibly Manon and Elide instead), Chaol and Nesryn, and slightly on the Lysandra and Aedion ship. Perhaps Dorian will find someone new (though I was SUPER glad when Sorscha died, I didn't like her), or will turn out to not need a partner and rule Adarlan himself. I also am so confused on how people ship Lysandra and Lorcan. Like ??? they barely had ANY interaction tf? And even though I'm kinda on the Lysandra and Aedion ship, I wouldn't mind Aedion turning out to be gay, and be the major gay couple Sarah said will be in EoS! ALSO at 8:07 TRUTH!

Am I the only one who ships Manon and Elide...?

Yes! I have been waiting to c ur booktalk omg!

I WAS SOBBING SO HARD IN THE SCENE WHERE AEDION AND AELIN WERE SITTING ON THE BED TALKING AND CATCHING UP. BUT NO CHRISTINE YOU BARELY MENTIONED AEDION AT ALL ;-;

DORIAN + CELENA = PERFECTION

I have a feeling that something bad will happen to Rowan. There's no way that this series will end without at least one of our beloved main characters dying. Another reason I don't think that Aelin/Rowan will be a thing is because Rowan told her that she will grow old and wrinkly while he stays young and hot by her side. I don't see how Rowan would let himself go through the pain of having to watch another loved one die.

Best review ever! you are so awesome! I love that you don't hold back.

I love the switch from celaena to Aelin, this book showed how much a shell she was living in when she was Celaena, the persona she grew up in and Aelin really symbolizes her development and letting go of all the sorrow and pain and anger in her life.
