Lorcan tells Elide he loves her in a beautiful moment. They're my favourite couple, unlike Dorian and Manon & Rowan and Celaena, it was totally unexpected.

Dorian still has his magic and it is still mighty, but it is also less. While Lorcan took most of the grunt work, along with the occasional help from Rowan and the rest of the Cadre, she was Lady of Perranth, and spent the day in meetings. To face down that place of pain and despair. She was no lamb to slaughter. Aelin waits until she leaves the tent to break down. For my home, new as it is. After another two weeks, the tower she was forced to live in for ten years was destroyed, toppled to the ground by Lorcans magic and his sheer will. She's just so annoyed by that fact that she refuses to acknowledge it directly, and in turn the narration refrains from outright saying it. And shall remain so forever. Darrow shook his head. The erased scars are a physical sign that shows how much physical, mental, and emotional damage has been done by Maeve and Cairn. So Gavin is a huge dick at first. Maybe a bigger crossover one day?

Grumbling, Lorcan lit a candle, only to find his son, doubled over in laughter on the floor. God damn I am a cheesy mess in this. . They were the ship I didn't know I needed. I knew it was Maeve using her mind power to make Aelin believe shed never escaped. There are some many gut-wrenching quotes Im just going to list them. Darrow smiledjust a bit. No longer an assassin. . And hed go down swinging to defend all of it. And then I teared up even more when Aedion tells Lysandra that he loves her!!!
