Cool cool cool so what the fuck IS this love triangle. I don't feel like I will survive it.
Celaena is a pain in my ass to be fair but I do love her. She do be traumatized though.
It's funny how every man she gets in contact with falls in love with her.

This was a good first book in the series. It definitely reads YA, and it didn't blow me away, but I'm excited to see where the characters and world-building go, especially since Maas did a good job setting up the story. I wasn't a huge fan of the love triangle, but mostly because I didn't buy the chemistry between the characters, although I could see that changing as the characters are more fully developed.
