Two Things:
  1. WHATEVER YOU DO: DON'T LOOK UP SPOILERS FOR THIS BOOK. It will make the ending that much more jaw dropping. 
  2. Also, please do not DNF this book. I don't why so many say they have, but please read it to the end.

Review: Oh my word this book was amazing! At first it was slow, but midway when
Nehemiah was murdered
is when the plot/book picks up A LOT. Then it continues with subtle hints of what is to happen, and mentioning a rebellion which is one of the two focuses of the book. Overall this book, after the halfway point was WILD. The ending if you do not have it spoiled will blow your mind!
I also liked how it tied in her grandmother, and Celaena getting the arrow of the goddess who guess what was secretly one of the three origanl fae sisters, and her grandmother. That part makes so much sense now, and her reaction to receiving the gift of that goddess aka her grandmother.
Oh, and then when
she reveals her fae form when stepping into the portal, and revealing her crazy powerful powers is incredible. Also Archer is a horrible back stabbing character in this story.
 

Also, Chaol is the most confused love struck charcter in this book. His moral compassion is evident, but pointing at the wrong person a LOT. His love for Celaena as well is really confusing. He seems to struggle with loyalty and love, and by the end he keeps struggling with that blurred line. (Which makes no sense with his friendship now with Celaena.)

This was a really solid middle book of a series, it progressed the plot in a way that was important to the series overall and had its own contained plot line as well as some interesting plot twists going along. My one complaint is that the romance plot has been getting a bit repetitive as the series goes on but everything else is great. I love the world and the main character.
