A good book. I’ll read the next to learn more about this world and the characters, but I preferred the first two books to this one.

A great sequel to the first "Throne of Glass!" I enjoyed this book more than the first one! SJM is great at keeping you hooked with a mystery! Though the ending felt a little obvious, I loved how it came to pass.

The beginning of this book was really slow, I’m surprised I finished it but glad I did and I’m excited to read the next one. I enjoyed the plot line and loved reading some of the hints we got in book one!! The characters were great and I know it’s probably not going to happen but I love Chaol and Celaena together right now. I also love Dorian. These are great characters!

Ok I had more fun with this one than the first one. 

The truth bomb explosion at the end I had my suspicions about for the last 200 or so pages, but it was a great KABLAMO moment to end off the book with! I’m excited to go sailing across the sea for a family reunion!!! 

One thing that bugs me in this series though is that no one trusts each other at all?! They’re all damned secret keepers! Like the three main characters never got told that team work makes the dream work??!! I feel like if they just talked it out or explained their plans before setting them in motion, then they could’ve solved their problems a lot faster!?!! I totally get why they don’t fully trust each other, but at the same time - as George Michael says “you gotta have faith” 

Watch me say that and one of them brutally betrays the others in the future books lol - if it does, please just call me Baba Yellowlegs, clairvoyant evil witch beeyotch extraordinaire 💁‍♀️ 

Also, side note, I really thought this story was about to be a doggie snuff book and I was THIS CLOSE to throwing it across the room. 

Anywho, time for the highly controversial reading timeline placement of ASSASSINS BLADE for a fun lil blast from the past of short stories and then I shall be back to find out what we’re doing with all of this crazy ass stuff going on!
