I read the entire several years ago before it became popular from BookTok. I chose to pick it up again and realized how much I loved this book, and now that I am a more seasoned adult (I read it while in college) I am really enjoying this series again. I honestly think that this series is better than Sarah J. Mass' ACOTAR.

When I first got into Sarah J. Maas, I read the Throne of Glass series first rather than ACOTAR. However, I do think you should read the ACOTAR series first and then the Throne of Glass series because I feel like I didn't appreciate the Throne of Glass series on the first read through as much as I would have if I read that after ACOTAR.

Okay first things first, I’d like to say the writing of this book had some AMAZING strong points. It wasn’t poetic or heart wrenching, but it wasn’t supposed to be. The final battle scene at the end genuinely had my heart racing and my mind in shambles. I liked the pacing and development of the plot as well.

Team Chaol absolutely all the way 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻

Definitely recommend as it hooked me and I will be continuing on with the series :)

This is everything I wanted ACOTR to be. Mystery, magic, fighting, court politics. Romance is there but as a side plot. I read the novellas before this but you don't need it. Excited for the next book!
