So much fun! Such an adventurous series and I'm so excited to see how the story unfolds. The plot and world is getting much bigger and the state  are getting higher, can't wait to read more. This one was a little slower then the first but when the plot unfolded, it happened fast and explosively.

This was a great continuation of the story started in TOG (or TAB if you started with the prequel) that had a lot of action in a short amount of time. That being said, the beginning was extremely slow to me. It was almost like we were relearning everything that already happened and who the characters are for a good portion of this book. 

I feel as though this book and TOG were setting up the series and Celaena now finally knows what she needs to do. Of course there will be more discovery on her end in the other 5 books but now we seem to be starting her adventure rather than going through daily life with her. 

Overall I really enjoyed the book! The only thing keeping it from 5 stars is how slow the beginning was.
