This book made me feel so many things, especially with Chaol and Celeana. They were adorable, from the first book i could tell something was going to happen between them, but when Chaol got kidnapped and celeana came to get him, and then Nehemia dying! like i was in shock, complete shock, that entire part was very heart wrenching. Then with Archer, that little shit. I had a bad feeling from him the start, i was feeling the anger that Celeana was. I was just like "KILL HIM ALREADY, HE DESERVES TO DIE" and then he did i was like "YES" because that little bin chicken was the worst i hate him so much, i wanted to punch something because he made Chaol and Celeana's relationship never be the same again and i hate him because i love them together their were cute. And at the end when Celeana turned into a fae, i wasn't surprised because i got spoilers from another review on here! and didn't put in the spoiler section! anyways but then Chaol getting Celeana to go to wendlyn, like i know that he was trying to protect her but now she has to kill the royal family there?! like??? and then it ends with Finding out that Celeana is Aelin?! this book was just made so much emotions rise in me and i loved this book, alot.

 

This book was a emotional rollercoaster, it had so many plot twist, heartbreak and shocking moments. I really liked the book, i enjoyed it more than the first one actually. I just couldn't stop reading it, i was glued to it and couldn't stop until i finished it.

I can't say a lot of negative things about this one:
The chapters were really short and the story felt fast-paced, there wasn't a lot oft unnecessairy situations and we mostly just got right to the action, which was motivating to keep reading. I think SJM's writing gets better and better and is really easy to understand.

Chaols and Celaenas relationship was just so fun and wholesome to watch. The way they kept teasing each other and just were so in love made me smile.
I looooved the plot of Dorian having magic and slowly understanding it better and better, it gave the book even more exciting turns and makes it feel magical.

Celaena is a really good female main character, she's empowering, independent, her reactions feel human and she's not the "small, little, fragile" girl.
I think the way Nehemia's death was placed was really good and fitting and rounded up the story really well, even if it was pretty sad and emotional.
I'm really looking forward to see how the characters and the storyline is going to develope within the next few books.

I enjoyed the slow world building of the first half of the book, but I absolutely loved all the twists and turns of the second half. Although I did know the major twist at the end (thanks to this book series so popular for years) it didn’t take away from the details (which I didn’t know about). The last 20% of this book had my heart racing! It’s going to take me a while to recover from this...!
