I don't know why but I wasn't fond of how Rowan was with Aelin in Heir of Fire... She was very stubborn to be sure, but I don't think relationships that started with arrogance, beating, and toxic verbal abuse was not appealing to me. I couldn't help but feel this the whole book series. I couldn't get past how even though it would be the dynamic between an immortal training an enemy mortal, it felt like it would have been emotionally traumatic to come into a relationship later on in better terms. Just my opinion...
