If you read this book after reading Throne of Glass 1-3 you already know how it’s gonna end. It is so heartbreaking.

I knew exactly Sam was gonna die in the end and i kinda knew how. But reading it actually happening was a whole other level of pain. I cried.

Do not read this if you value your soul!! Jesus Christ, the last of these stories was so, so sad. I do not know how to move on from the pain. It was sadistic to bring that story into the world, but I guess it was helpful in understanding Celaena and her life :/ Some of the earlier stories are a bit boring and slow for a bit, but they were still good. It was nice to see Celeana before Endovier and before so much of the pain in her life. It was, however, difficult to read that pain as it happened!!!
