The plot was so good but the romance in this book stops me to give it a higher ranking. It was not as bad as I remembered it being but

it still icks me that she changed her love interest out of nothing. I felt no chemistry in any of the first two books.

This book made me feel so many things, especially with Chaol and Celeana. They were adorable, from the first book i could tell something was going to happen between them, but when Chaol got kidnapped and celeana came to get him, and then Nehemia dying! like i was in shock, complete shock, that entire part was very heart wrenching. Then with Archer, that little shit. I had a bad feeling from him the start, i was feeling the anger that Celeana was. I was just like "KILL HIM ALREADY, HE DESERVES TO DIE" and then he did i was like "YES" because that little bin chicken was the worst i hate him so much, i wanted to punch something because he made Chaol and Celeana's relationship never be the same again and i hate him because i love them together their were cute. And at the end when Celeana turned into a fae, i wasn't surprised because i got spoilers from another review on here! and didn't put in the spoiler section! anyways but then Chaol getting Celeana to go to wendlyn, like i know that he was trying to protect her but now she has to kill the royal family there?! like??? and then it ends with Finding out that Celeana is Aelin?! this book was just made so much emotions rise in me and i loved this book, alot.

 

Overall this book was a emotional rollercoaster, it had so many plot twist, heartbreak and shocking moments. I really liked the book, i enjoyed it more than the first one actually. I just couldn't stop reading it, i was glued to it and couldn't stop until i finished it.

This was a great continuation of the story started in TOG (or TAB if you started with the prequel) that had a lot of action in a short amount of time. That being said, the beginning was extremely slow to me. It was almost like we were relearning everything that already happened and who the characters are for a good portion of this book. 

I feel as though this book and TOG were setting up the series and Celaena now finally knows what she needs to do. Of course there will be more discovery on her end in the other 5 books but now we seem to be starting her adventure rather than going through daily life with her. 

Overall I really enjoyed the book! The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is how slow the beginning was.
