Okay, I’m sold. The first two books were a bit of a commitment but I’m all in. Extremely fully imagined world, complex characters with intense relationships (my weakness), really interesting magical system, very compelling plot - will be reading the whole series

I enjoyed this book, though Maas’ writing style is full of sentence fragments and unnecessary em dashes.

Amazing! Second favorite in the series now, mist and fury being first. It is more plot and war based than character based which I didn’t think I would love as much as I did. I’m not one for battle scenes, reading them can be tough to get through, but I loved these. They were so descriptive and made me feel like I was watching it through a screen. Didn’t think war would be one of my favorite things about the book but the writing was just perfect. And the character building; even with less character building focus, it was amazing. It was found family mixed with actual blood family and it was beautiful. Amazing
