This was good. I feel like reading ACOTAR first gave me really high expectations but I am keeping in mind that this is the author’s first book and she began writing it when she was a teenager. I do still plan on reading the rest of the series.

Fun, quick, popcorn-y read. Writing gets better in the second book. Plot is very similar to Megan Whalen Turner’s The Queen’s Thief series

I struggled to start this read, so opted to listen to the audio book instead. The narration was pleasant and immersive and helped me get over my initial aversion to the more novice writing due to it being one of Sara J. Maas’ earlier works. I’m glad I did because I greatly enjoyed the second half of this book and I’m very excited to continue learning more about the fantasy world Maas is so skilled at building! And of course there’s just enough romance to keep me wanting more.

A bit predictable but, nonetheless, enjoyable. Definitely intriguing enough to make me want to continue reading the next book in the series!

Similar to the book Powerless. Powerless was definitely inspired by Sara J Maas. 

I tried to start this series with the assassins blade (bad idea). This book really hooked me the first part. The middle was slow for me. The last quarter of the book went by fast. I like how Maas wrote the different perspectives and switched in the same chapter. I also liked the multiple romantic interests.

 How in the world did I wait so long to read this book?!?!?This was a fantastic read! This was action packed and exciting. I loved Celaena as a lead character. She’s strong, a little prickly,and thinks for herself. I enjoyed the overall mystery of the storyline and the magic. If you didn’t really jive with ACOTAR like me, I would highly encourage you to try ToG. I can’t wait to read the next book in this series!
