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 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.

The character development is getting better, and world building is enjoyable. There is more information on the lore of the realm too, which I was hoping for more of in the previous book.
There were multiple occasions i had to set the book down to process what just happened due to a couple of twists I didnt expect, however, there were a couple of revelations that seemed glaringly obvious to anyone but the characters involved.
