booksinherhead's review against another edition

Read this for the second time almost ten years after reading it the first time–this time around doing a buddy read so I can finally finish this series. Let me tell you I am IN THIS. Very invested. So far I've definitely been tracking how each book feels individually versus in the larger series arc. Each book ends with the promise of things to come, for sure, but I'm not feeling frustrated by cliffhangers or "filler books." Onward!

A great sequel to the first "Throne of Glass!" I enjoyed this book more than the first one! SJM is great at keeping you hooked with a mystery! Though the ending felt a little obvious, I loved how it came to pass.

The plot was so good but the romance in this book stops me to give it a higher ranking. It was not as bad as I remembered it being but

it still icks me that she changed her love interest out of nothing. I felt no chemistry in any of the first two books.
