I loved Celaena!! Such a strong character, very complex and yet still relateable. It really takes some skill to make an assassin feel like an average person. I also loved the little bits of romance that were in there! Honestly though, the ending fight scene was hard to read.

Especially knowing that she had been drugged it was just tough to read through a whole chapter or a few  of her struggling and hallucinating. I just wish that part had been shortened slightly, that’s all.

Great story, classic Sarah J Maas combination of court intrigue, romance, magic, and combat. Almost gave it 4.5 but then subtracted a quarter star because of all of the anti-corset bits that really rubbed me the wrong way. I listened to a solid 3 hours of the audiobook while wearing a corset, and I can tell you for dang sure my ribs were not being crushed!

There is poison! Both a theoretical poisoning (a controlled environment, but still theoretically very dangerous) and a second scene with a purposeful poisoning with an agent that can cause death. There are also hallucinations (which end up to be technically real) caused by the poisoning.

There was one scene near the end that was good but the rest was pretty mediocre imho.
