Really good sequel to ToG. The storyline is starting to pick-up and the new information makes it easier to get into and made me want to read it quicker than ToG did. Not the biggest fan of the romance storyline stuff that happened in this book- well happy for some of it but annoyed at the rest of it though I guess it makes sense as the series progresses and the path Celaena needs to go down.

Sorry I’m a Dorian girl which made this hard to read at times.

regardless, still LOVE reading anything from Sarah. Just a personal preference over the characters she’s made me fall in love with.

I am so intrigued by that ending!!! Honestly, I found most of this book to be pretty slow but the last 20% reaaally picked up the pace
This felt like the end of the first part of this series and I have a feeling we’ll finally start learning more about Celaena and this world in the next book, especially after all those final reveals!!

The plot twist at the end was pretty predicable, but I did

feel horrible about Nehemia's death. I don't really like that the only POC in the book is killed as character development, however. And if Maas had killed off Fleetfoot as well, I WOULD HAVE committed felonies.

However, this still just feels like every basic fantasy series from the time period and I don't super understand why this series is regarded as the best of Maas' work.

This second book is much better, much more interesting and engaging than the first one. I love these characters, I really want them to survive all of this and I want a happy ending for them. I hope I'll get that!

I wanted to give it 5 stars but all this lack of communication was driving me crazy. If the three of them sat down and talked, everything would be easier for everyone.

I'm very excited to keep reading!
