A good sequel that expands upon the characters and situations. It does have the common struggle with direction I feel many second books have where it has to turn an initial closed premise into a big expansive story line but it handles it well. The monsters are effectively creepy and the king successfully and compellingly evil, but the ending twist does feel slightly contradictory.

While “Throne of Glass” was a bit slow,  this book upped the ante and the action in a satisfying way. I’m definitely curious for how the rest of the series will unfold so I’m committed to continuing the journey of Celeana as she learns about her heritage, and fights for the kingdom and freedom of the people against the tyranny of the king. I enjoyed getting a deeper look at Chaol and Dorian through their POV chapters, which Maas excels at. I generally don’t think the writing is super sophisticated, but the stories pull me in every time.
