This was the best book in the Throne of Glass series so far. I didn’t feel very connected to Celaena as a character until this book. After reading, I feel like I understand her more. I am also looking forward to reading the next book, since it left off with such a cliffhanger! I’m still not sure how Manon fits into the story just yet. I feel like all of the witches and parts with Bryaxis was for nothing??? I know it probably fits in later, I just don’t understand how yet.

Okay this is definitely my favorite throne of glass book so far. Strong character development, the overall series plot is really picking up, and the emotions are running high. I laughed. I gasped. I fucking sobbed. Especially during the second half of the book. I had to take a few breaks to just put it down and do something else for a few minutes.  

I did have some small problems with logic/continuity but that's not to say it won't be explained in the next one?? Most of it was probably just me being nitpicky though bc my husband is like that and I swear he's contagious. 

You can really see SJM coming into her writing style the further you get into the series. I love how she writes people falling in love. I'm doing the romantic reading so I'll be doing the assassin's blade next and I'm really excited to just be emotionally devastated as so many people have claimed. 🥲
