I liked this book more than the first (Throne of Glass). It had a more in-depth and complicated plot, but it was very confusing to me. Even in the end, when I found out

Celaena was really Aelin

. I feel like I need to re-read this book to fully understand it (I’m not going to). I did like the twist at the end revealing that

Archer was actually behind it all

. I also thought that this book was more interesting because there was more magic. It reminded me more of ACOTAR. Overall, it was good, just confusing and I need a bit more clarification when it comes to heavy plots.

I will forever love the badass female characters that Sarah J Maas creates and expresses in her novels. Celaena is such a honed weapon, and it is so cool to read the way that she works.

I absolutely loved the romance arc with Chaol, and it was my favorite thing out of this entire book. From them both trying and failing to stay on their sides of the ‘line’ Chaol drew for himself, to their cute hangouts & runs, to the birthday scene on the rooftop, I positively ate that shit up. When she turned on him after poor Nehemia’s demise, my heart broke, and it positively shattered at Chaol’s realization that nothing was ever going to be the same. I’m so happy that they’ve reconciled a little, but my heart was so full & happy when Chaol was describing her as his future wife like ughhhhhh why couldn’t we have just kept that going… I have to say I love Fleetfoot, she is so cute! And Mort, lol. How is the king so trusting?! Dummy. I’m interested in seeing how this whole magic thing goes for Dorian, and I’m so happy the three of them have had some good(?) trio scenes again that will hopefully improve and reoccur throughout the series. Anyways, I’m not prepared to watch everything fall to shit & burn, so hopefully all the other books just detail Celaena jumping off that ship, swimming back to Chaol, & them running away together to experience a million cute lovey adventures with no pain, suffering, or heartbreak. Of course, the lands & magic would just *poof* be saved before hand, but then it’ll just be lovey-dovey, right?! I unfortunately was spoiled for the grand reveal at the end, but I am very interested in seeing how this all plays out.

I really enjoyed it!

this book was so much fun, the writing has so clearly improved from the previous book and it was in so much more enjoyable and captivating. i’m glad this book expanded more on the world and gave more depth in the characters, that was done great.

but the absolute best thing about this book were definitely the twists and reveals that left me with so many questions, very exited to read the other books.
