I cried reading this book. The story is great and i loved the characters. The POVs change but it’s great. Typical for a Sarah J. Maas book: the last 100 pages everything’s on fire.

Why did Sorscha have to die. What happened to Petrahs Wyvern is so sad. So many bad things happened but it was also funny omg. The end was so so hurtful to read. Ngl, Chaols POVs are kinda boring. I pray that Aedion meets Aelin. The moment between Maeve and Aelin was soo savage (with the citizens not being out of stone). And what happened to Dorian… it broke my heart so much…

Amazing!! I devoured this book and I can’t wait for the next one. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time. I thoroughly enjoyed following every perspective and am so excited to see where these characters go from here.

I always like the point where a YA series turns from adventures to a desperate fight for freedom, and this book is no exception.

Quite the tragic turn of events at the end, but they set up for some potentially good ways out.

The first half is a bit frustrating as the focus is placed on rebuilding and crumbling over and over again for the main character, but it finds its direction very well for the second half.

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.
