Chaol's past as the Head Guard to Dorian's father makes Yrene uneager to heal him. This could potentially cause her to refuse his plea, leaving him wheelchair bound. Others may be able to heal him in her stead, but this would also cause a lot of chaos within the tower.

"There will be no justice for him- not if he served the old and new king. Not if he's cunning enough to remain in power. I know how Ardalan works. "

Yrene doesn't want to heal Chaol's legs. He's someone who has worked for a king who has potentially murdered her entire family. I can relate, on a lower note of course. I have a teammate in robotics whom I learned has been talking bad about me and another teammate behind our backs. I don't really want to help her anymore as a result. So I feel as if we are in the same boat because we are supposed to help someone whom we do not wish to help.

I don't know anyone who has lost the use of a limb, nor have I experienced it myself. Chaol allows me to see the experiences of someone with a disability caused by an injury. It allows me to see not only the physical pain, but the mental pain as well.

So far I really like this book. Although I'm only 76 pages in, there have already been a number of scenes that caught my attention. The author has talked about the grief of losing a child, someone who has lost the use of their legs, and someone who's family is now most likely dead. I would recommend this book to someone who can handle heavy topics and death.

Lorcan, Fenrys, and Gavriel are all "servants" of Maeve. She has a mind control like power over them causing them to obey her will. I think this will cause them to begin to attack Aelin's allies, potentially killing an important character.

The conflict in this book particularly is Maeve and Erawan against Aelin and her allies. There are other smaller conflicts throughout the book, but Erawan is the main enemy, and Maeve is the one who captures Aelin at the end. It causes attempted murders and kidnappings from both sides, and a lot of death.

I can relate to Lysandra as we are both proud beings. She refuses to take orders from anyone during the midst of the battle, even from her superiors. I don't lose easily.

I am very grateful that my family is not made up of psychopaths. Because Elide's uncle most definitely is one. He locked up his niece for a breeding experiment, and if that isn't screwed up, then I don't know what is. It lets me see into an experience with sexual abuse from a family member. And I'm glad I haven't experienced it.

# data[].attributes.body
Elide is a princess escapee from a prison. Her uncle, whom had locker her there is looking for her again. He sends ilkens (monsters) after her, time and time again. And where I am at in my book he had just been defeated by Elide while coming for her. Lorcan and Elide still need to find Aelin but I assume that her uncle will continue sending beasts after her until she is where "she belongs". This answers my question because it shows us past signs of her uncles dominance and allows us to predict more aggression from him in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
I can see myself in Elide because we are both incredibly stubborn. Elide refuses to allow Lorcan to come with her as she goes to the market to resupply their ship. And of course that almost gets her put in prison by her uncle. I am also very stubborn. And nine times out of then I end up doing something really dumb, and needing help. We are both prideful beings who refuse to back down in an argument over the smallest things.

Elena stole the lock that her mother had given her life to create. And if that wasn't bad enough, she used it foolishly, allowing Erawan (Perrington) to rise from his slumber. This simple act of thievery has led to the slaughter of many lives, and an all out war. Elena has since been Aelin's protection "spirit" out of sorrow for placing her fate upon her shoulders. She tries to help Aelin live her fullest life  from the shadows. This allows us to predict that Elena will eventually sacrifice her self for Aelin's well being.

I think the Elide and Aelin are going to meet on a battle field. Or at least something somewhat dangerous. Aelin has meet many characters in a very dangerous situation.

My last reason is that there are just a lot of heated arguments and such that often turn violent.

I have never been someone with incredible talent at charming and bargaining. And I wish I was good at it. Aelin seems to be able to strike a deal with just about anyone and everyone. She's firm with what she wants, and usually ends up getting it. I wish I was able to do things like that. For now I'll have to work on it with my brother.

I can see myself in Elide. She sometimes tells lies, but never with malicious intent. She needs to survive and make it to Aelin, whom she can share important information with. I sometimes tell lies.

Marion was a prisoner. A slave kept as a subject to a breeding experiment. Then she escaped. But she's also a princess. And her name isn't Marion, it's Elide. As a princess, Elide has power, and she too, wants to bring down Perrington. Aelin, whom is desperate for more allies, can ally with Elide and maybe then will they have the resources to end his wrathful rule once and for all. The fact that Elide is a princess searching for Aelin allows us to inference that she wants to ally with Aelin to help bring down Perrington.

An interesting topic mentioned in this book is being a slave. Although actual slavery is uncommon, there are other forms. Aelin was first a quite literal slave, and occasionally mentioned the lack of food and the horrible qualities of life. Then she went to the king's court where she pretty much became a slave for the king. An assassin. Slavery has had an impact on her entire life and she could use her experiences in order to defeat Perrington.

# data[].attributes.body
I am not an assassin. Obviously. But Manon is. But she's also so much more. She saved the prince, she fought her malicious grandma in order to save her second, she does what's right even if it could get her killed. And she almost did. I've never done anything on that intensity just to do the right thing. I aspire to be like her.

# data[].attributes.body
I see myself in Aelin because nobody believes in us. Particularly male figures. Nobody trusts Aelin because of her background and past. Nobody trusts me because they think I'm a stereotypical girl. Aelin has a drive. She takes what she needs and doesn't give a damn about it. And neither do I.

# data[].attributes.body
Not only the nobles but other people disrespect Aelin due to her past. They note her wildness, and share their concerns about her knowledge and capabilities and her lack of experience. The captain refuses to work with Aelin and I think it's because he doesn't think she has what it takes to defeat Perrington.

Elide searches for both Caelena and Aelin, not knowing they are the same person. For each she has a specific gift from a fellow inmate from her prison. The journey has nearly costed her life time and time again. But the inmate had stated that she was not to give both of these gifts to a single person, so I wonder what Elide will have to do once she realizes that Caelena and Aelin are indeed one.

Esperanza- She literally called them trash. We've never gotten a negative vibe from Esperanza until this chapter. She's portrayed as a nice person, but then BOOM. They have a huge argument that started with a cloud, and then she's insulting people's toes and a lot of other junk.

We learn Nenny is like a messenger. Instead of directly insulting Rachel and Lucy, Nenny carries "messages". We also see a meaner side from Nenny who was portrayed as sweet and innocent.

As tin is a hard metal, it shows her dislike for the name, and conveys a feeling of distaste to the reader.

I think the author used this to go more indepth into Esperenza’s hatred of her name. Had she used a lighter, softer, object, the reader would have thought she liked her name. Instead they get the feeling of intolerance. Tin is a hard object that would be painful to hold in your mouth, which converys the “pain” the Esperenza gets from her name.

This would cause Mare and Maven to be on the run from the Silvers. I think that the book will end with Mare and Maven out for blood, overthrowing the king and his court.

Mare is affected by the color of her blood because she is forced to hide it from the court, who are all silver blooded. In order to survive she must pretend to be one.

There is a scene in the book in which the main character's mother sends her to a foster family elsewhere in Germany. I was unable to relate to the character because I've never experienced something so traumatic, much less been shipped off the a new family. I learned how much an act of betrayal can hurt, especially abandonment. It was a hard scene to read because nobody I know, let alone I, have experienced anything like that.

Using my reading data, my goal is to read around 100 pages for every 25 minutes to make sure I am able to absorb all the information from my book. Sometimes I read so quickly it turns into skimming so I need to try and read slower to make sure I understand the book.

How I felt reading today:
I enjoyed the reading time today because I didn't become distracted while reading. I was able to maintain total focus the entire time which meant I was able to fully understand the content of my book.
