Queen of Shadows

Each book in this series gets better and better. Although the series began mired in some tired tropes with Celaena/Aelin as the only major female character, it has progressed far beyond that. Aelin has evolved into a much more likeable character. Best of all her story is now woven in with several other strong females with fascinating storylines and character developments. There are so many wonderful threads crossing between their paths. I loved it and could not put this entry down.
