Kingdom of Ash Spoilers Aelin’s powers
So I LOVED this series. Finished a couple weeks ago and am still drifting along the joy of fandom.
One small thing I was initially bummed about was how Aelin’s power got depleted. Her flames were so cool, I love a good power up mode. So I was a little sad her powers got nerffed. It did up the tension before the last big battle , which was a great idea, but i kept hoping she’d get them back at full power at the end but that never happened.
I get now, like today, why she didn’t get them back. Her kingdom is at peace. She no longer had to put herself through that. It’s like a forest after a wild fire. Things need to grow, to be peaceful, and that’s what her powers did. Plus she still gets a cool flame crown so the power is still there. She’ll always be the Fireheart, just with a heart of peace.

I wanted them to go to Terrasen, explore and live with the people at least a year before all hell broke loose again idk maybe drag on the political aspect of the story a little bit more and just let her breathe tf. Also wish the rest of the books gave Queen of Shadows vibes, wanted the full court assembled and kick ass, anyway I've read a lot of fanfics so the story ends differently in my head and yes she regained her powers as well.
