A satisfying follow-up to the first Throne of Glass book — this sets the rest of the series up well and excites me to see how the Maasiverse connects in.

It’s not my favorite, but this book has officially gotten me invested in the series!

<spoilers>
 I saw her true name coming, there were a lot of hints throughout the book. But the fact that she is fae, was a bit of a surprise, looking back, there were a few hints for that too, but I just missed them cause I was waiting for the name reveal. 

But also, Dorian has magic? That was a shocker!!! I can’t wait to see how all the magic plays out!

I had a harder time getting through this book than any other SJM book. That being said, it was still a good book, and vital to the storyline for the rest of the series. This book is definitely the turning point of the storyline.

slavery in the sense that people are sent to the mines to basically die or suffer the entire time they’re there
