4.75
The one nit-picky thing was a plot point I personally didn't like, which is why it's 4.75, rather than 5.
I would highly recommend this book for anyone who loves fantasy but is sick of repetitive plots. There's a few common tropes, but they are well done, with unique takes. I'm really looking forward to the next book.

Child death: A characters younger sibling is killed at a young age and the character recounts being there and witnessing it. Torture: A character is punished during later chapters and therefore whipped.nirellis's review against another edition

Maybe not as good as the first time but that's because I knew all the twists this time. However, I loved all the foreshadowing and reading with the knowledge of what will happen. Its a whole different way of reading the story
_____________
THAT ENDING ONGOMGOMGOMG THIS STORY OMGOMGOMGOGM.
If I could erase my memory just so I can re-read this book, I would. And I would do it 100 more times. This story is everything I ever love about reading. It’s dark but has the most amazing characters with the wittiest and dry sense of humour. So many secrets to uncover and so many different storylines- from the trials to finding the cure for the sickness.
And the ENDING. No spoilers don’t worry but THE AUTHOR JUST HITS YOU WITH SO MANY PLOT TWISTS IN THE LAST FEW PAGES. And not even in the last few pages but towards the end too. I literally <i>gasped</i> out loud at one- so loud my parents were like wtf you okay? And NO IM NOT because I read so many books that you kind of start to see where the story goes and predict some twists BUT NOT THESE ONES. Like maybe a few thoughts passed through my mind but I was like naaaaah that doesn’t seem likely but then WHAM it happens and I’m still like :00000
So it seems like this author is besties with Sarah J Maas and SJM is my favourite author so honestly if you love Throne of Glass as much as I do and her other books, give this series a try too. It is so worth it and this book was my most anticipated read for this year, so I’m thrilled I have the Fairyloot edition of it too because it’s so pretty 😍 AND AND AND the sequel is already set to come this year so it’s perfect. SO READ THIS.
