"She had often wished for adventure, for old spells and wicked kings. But she hadn’t realized it would be like this—a fight for her freedom. And she’d always imagined that there’d be someone to help her—a loyal friend or a one-armed soldier or something. She hadn’t imagined she would be so . . . alone." Since book ONE of the series, Aelin has wished for a partner.. We thought, maybe Dorian, but soon realized he could be nothing more than a friend, then Chaol or Nehemiah, but no. Even with different peoples friendship, she was still alone. Alone in her struggles, her secrets, her battles, her past. No one has ever seen Aelin, for all she is, and not wanted to change something. Until Rowan Whitethorn. All these people that have issues with him, claim he's abusive(which he's not, and I can prove in another rant), look over the part time and time again where Aelin even says, multiple times, that Rowan is like her other half. He has seen all the ugly parts of her and still loves her, still will stand by her side and not judge her. After so long of her feeling alone, she finally has that partner she's always wanted.
Celeana Sardothien, Throne of Glass, Sarah J. Maas
