4.5

Look the only reason I’m rating this 4.5 instead of 5 is because it should have been longer.  It felt like so much was happening and it got almost confusing, especially because it had been a while since I read the first one.
MASSIVE SPOILER BELOW

also Nehemia’s death took me hardcore by surprise, I was NOT expecting a George RR Martin main character kill off so early in the series.

4.0

A good sequel that expands upon the characters and situations. It does have the common struggle with direction I feel many second books have where it has to turn an initial closed premise into a big expansive story line but it handles it well. The monsters are effectively creepy and the king successfully and compellingly evil, but the ending twist does feel slightly contradictory.

And this book is exactly why I gave Throne of Glass just 3⭐️! 

This series is just brilliant and it continues to improve with each book. Even though this was my third time reading this book, I just could not put it down! 

Celaena is just absolutely precious and deserves the whole world, and the fact that she can kill someone in more than a thousand different ways honestly just adds to her charm in my opinion. 

This book has made me even more excited to continue rereading the series and I can’t wait to get to Heir of Fire and read about Rowan and Manon once again!
