When is the second book ever better than the first one? Here. Wowww. 

(And it even redeemed Dorian)

Only taking a quarter star because I saw the last chapter coming from a mile away.

This one started off slow, maybe because I was hesitant about the series being more YA than ACOTAR. However, I'm now a fan of Calaena Sardothien. The second half picked up momentum and I couldn't put it down. (Though I wonder if that might have been escapism from the debate and the  Court decisions 🤔...) It's lacking spice, which is a big fat boo for my smut era, but I appreciate the flawed characters and am looking forward to the rest of the series.

After 6 years, I am reading this again and I am really enjoying it. Although Celaena's character seems a bit overpowered, I feel that her character (outside of her physical kick*ss abilities) is believable as she's only 18 and still figuring out life so she's going to make mistakes and live as a young and somewhat naive woman would.

I enjoyed the characterization of the other characters and I'm impressed that SJM manages to do a great job with working with 3 POVs. That's no easy feat.
