Our view
In “Queen of Shadows” Sarah J. Maas sets Aelin Galathynius on the road to her crown, in a volume as dark as it is tense. Assassins, witches, fae and royal intrigue fill close to seven hundred pages, which give every thread room to breathe. As the fourth Throne of Glass book it is no place to begin; it builds on the three before it.
