I have not stopped thinking about this book since I finished it. Wow! It is such a great setup to this story and I can’t wait to get more of these characters and their journeys. It is a really awesome world with some of my favorite characters I have ever read. I understand why people say the writing feels juvenile and I agree, but I think I like the writing in these books better than ACOTAR and Crescent City so far. I can’t wait to read more!

A strong start to the series! (But I’m glad I read The Assassin’s Blade first) it felt a little slow at times, but I enjoyed it overall. It

If you want this book to be about a badass assassin who actually assassinates people and isn't all talk and no action, then you're in the wrong place.
That's what I wanted, but what I got was not even close to that.

I tried to read this book back when it first came out, I got about 4% in and decided I'd rather stab myself in the stomach than continue. After all the hype about it came around and I started seeing more and more of it, and how amazing the rest of the series was, I decided to give it another go.
And I don't know whether I liked it or not. Now I had this love/hate relationship with it, when I was reading it, I felt like I didn't want to and wanted to read something else - but when I put it down.. I kept thinking about it.
