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.

I really enjoyed this one it was a little slow toward the beginning but overall a good read. That last page was such a jaw drop!

Nehemia’s death was so heartbreaking and even sadder that it was necessary for Celaena’s development.

Dorian is a favorite of mine and I want to know more about him. I look forward to seeing where the story goes
