I’m in love with these characters and this series. This book took me far too long to read because I wasn’t in the mood for fantasy for a hot minute…. But it did not disappoint. These books get better and better
A twisty, turny, suspenseful ride that will leave readers on the edge of their seats. Maas elevates her storytelling to new heights, blending fantasy, adventure, and emotional depth in a narrative that is both expansive and intensely personal.
Celaena's journey in this novel is a remarkable evolution from a mere assassin to a complex character grappling with her destiny. Her character development is profound as she faces internal and external battles, making her more relatable and compelling. The introduction of new characters, adds layers to the story, enriching the world Maas has created.
The narrative is masterfully woven with multiple storylines, each adding to the overarching plot while maintaining its unique allure. Maas's world-building is exceptional, with each location vividly described and contributing to the overall atmosphere of the story.
The suspense is skillfully crafted, with twists and turns that are both surprising and satisfying. Maas keeps readers guessing, expertly building tension and intrigue throughout the novel. The action sequences are exhilarating, written with a clarity and intensity that make them leap off the page.
One of the most impressive aspects of this book is its emotional depth. Maas delves into themes of loss, identity, and resilience, giving the story a richness that goes beyond typical fantasy fare.

Still really enjoyable, just slow in the first half. It takes a while to care about the new POVs
4.5 stars I think. just a phenomenal book. I wasn't a fan of all the POVs at first, but I actually really enjoyed the story and how the plot was written. excited for the next!!
