This is the first book in the series where I found myself caring slightly about Celaena, even though she spends the majority of the book being insufferable. It isn't until about 2/3 of the way through that she has a breakthrough and finds herself making progress in her life.

Having said that, I still found everyone else's stories much more interesting than Celaena's. I'm a fan of Aedion, and the witches were a great side plot to read.

Some of Celaena's flashback scenes were tough/emotional to read, but in the end, she gets where she needs to go. Mostly.

My favourite entry in the series so far. The fantasy and worldbuilding is much more mature than in the first two books. While the pacing sometimes faltered a little bit with the array of characters going back and forward, the widened scope and perspective was welcome.

One thing SJM knows how to do is write an insufferable character with one hell of a redemption. Celaena has been through a lot of pain and strife, but her being mean to Emry’s and Luca was pissing me off. Her getting on her knees and begging forgiveness was the only way for me to not be totally done with her.

Her relationship with Rowan was weird. They’re cousins and she was noticing his “muscled back.” When she was getting overheated at the spring festival and he gave her some air she “moaned with relief” like girl…what in the sweet home Alabama is going on??? I hope that’s where the weirdness stops with them two.

Chaol was trying to play both sides but luckily he chose right in the end.

The king is a bastard and for him to do that to Dorian in the end and how he did Sorcha??? That was crazy. He needs to burn in hell.

Maeve was annoying and she lost Rowan so…yay I guess. And she knew to surround herself in water incase a descendant of Brannon came back but Aelin showed her just how useless that was.

When the Valg princes feasted on Celaena’s fear and then her family surrounded her saying, “Get up” I was literally crying. Such a beautiful moment.

I hope Aedion is ok because THAT last scene was nuts. Arobynn better NOT give Celaena any problems when she ask for her necklace back…but he’s a monster so I know he will.

Now Manon’s storyline…I won’t say which book and author [allegedly] stole directly from this bar for bar…but it was VERY similar to one of my favorite series and that was a little disheartening. This new series damn near went bar for bar down to the war games, wyvern, communicating with your wyvern, Imogen, Manon wanting the strongest one but then getting the weakest one(but not really weak), her motherly figure being a complete asshole…it was a bit much for me. The witches are really cut throat and I personally just wanted to get back to Celaena or Dorians storyline the entire time. It was a lot of POV jumping and that was annoying but…this is a long and well thought out series so I’m sure everything will tie together seamlessly.

But…I will say that the Cochran witch made Manon open her eyes to the person that she was; so it’ll be fun to explore that in the next book.

I’m excited to get through the SJM universe, still.

I really loved Rowan and Aelin’s relationship and felt it was a nice change of pace compared to her past relationships in the books so far.

I’m sooooo irritated that Soracha died, Aedion and Dorian have been captured, and yet Chaol gets to leave to find her???? Chaol sucks, like he is actively the person I care least about and now he’s in charge of saving them????? Can’t wait to see how that goes bc it’s giving redemption arc.
