Still the most annoying FMC EVER but I’m going to keep going. The other characters are great and the story is good.

While a love a strong BA female that goes after what she wants, Scarlett is a little too headstong. To the point that she makes extremely rash decisions, then used the excuse that she didn't have time to run her decisions by her mate and closest advisors. I found that very annoying, but so did all of the characters. 

Much of this book is Scarlett facing the concequences for her rash decisions, and trying to figure out what her enemies are after. Then trying to get to those things before her enemy does. 

I am still very much enjoying this series, and will continue on with the next two books. This series is definitely for Throne of Glass and ACOTAR fans!
