Story 1: 1.5 stars, I was so bored I almost fell asleep reading
Story 2: 4 stars, really liked getting a glimpse of Celaena's other sides
Story 3: 5 stars, highlight of the series, so gay
Story 4: 2 stars, back to boring after a really fun trip in the desert
Story 5: 3 stars, a predictable stab in the back, but engaging

Wow…I sat in my emotions for a good 20 minutes after reading this book. I knew I was stepping into a world fraught with danger, intrigue, and heart-wrenching moments. Having recently concluded a journey through the A Court of Thorns and Roses series, where emotions ran from devastatingly sad to ultimately hopeful, I was prepared for another rollercoaster ride. However, I didn't quite anticipate the emotional weight that this prequel would carry right from the start. This left me feeling less hopeful. lol

First of all the first 50% of the book was so light and happy, I DREADED reading the next 50%. This book is a reread (part of my annual TOG reread to torture myself), so I already know what I'm in for, and it's the saddest shit ever. This book is crucial to the later parts of the story. I love SJM's world building and how she incorporates characters from earlier parts of the story into the climax of the later books. During my first read, I read this book after book 2, pero now na gina reread nako sha, reading this book before book 1 is the best way to go about it. Celaena's naivety and the betrayals she experienced in this book was rlly hard to read, gikapoy nako ma sad! Don't even get me started on Sam Cortland, he deserves the world huhu such a pure soul i luv him so much hahays. Reading this for the nth time around doesnt make the pain any less. They should have fucking left Rifthold ASAP, I wouldn't be mad if the series was cut to 3 books as long as Sam and Celaena were happy 😭 This book was painful in the best way possible 😖
That was rough to read after Heir of Fire, knowing how it would end
