I enjoyed this book, despite what others said about it being slow or boring compared to the rest of the series. It was a fun beginning to what has become one of my favorite series ever.

Starting this series after finishing ACOTAR, I was expecting a very similiar world. And though I can see the similarities, it is very different. Best way to describe it is that TOG is a dystopian version of the world in ACOTAR. & so far, I am here for it. 
I like the characters, I like the world, and I love reading stories like this one and ACOTAR, that are led by some very basass women! I can’t wait to dive deeper into it all!

Strong start to the series, several unexpected twists that kept me wanting to read more. Looking forward to reading the rest of the series.

Would round up to 4⭐

This book was good. The world building in this book is fantastic, and I really loved some of the characters. The book started off very slow and I had a hard time getting interested at the beginning, but after about 70 pages I couldn't put it down.

I quite liked this! There’s an awful lot of loose ends here which is a bit frustrating, but seeing as there’s so many more books in the series it makes sense. I like the protagonist a lot and the supporting characters are equally lovable, but they really got me with the puppy. I do wish there was either more backstory or more something to give us a real look at “the assassin” - we are told over and over again that she’s the best in the world but, like, SHOW me. Hopefully we get more of that in the coming books

There was one scene near the end that was good but the rest was pretty mediocre imho.
