Love it, love it, love it, LOVE IT!
   
Characters discover themselves, overcome hardships, and make new connections. We see more of this world, learn more of the magic, and we get battles and EVEN MORE political intrigue. So, so good. 
   
And WHAT a cliffhanger!!!! I’m reading the prequel next so this is brutal to leave lol

I love how this series just keeps building!! Every detail is important. It’s soooo well written. It always surprises me when someone or something I thought wasn’t important is, or the other way around. I liked how Thai book felt like it was kind of a preparation book for the next book, although to some this may feel like you are just getting through the training part to get to the real battle I really just love seeing how Celaena’s character is changing and growing. I also loved the new relationships in this book!

It took me a while to truly get into this book, but in typical SJM Fashion I was hooked in the second half. The first section was a lot of world building for a new continent and new character introductions. My favorite of the series so far. 

I really hated manors story arc in the beginning. I didn’t like her until she saved Petrah near the end. But every time the thirteen showed up I wanted to stop reading. Love love love Rowan though and this did have a good twist with Sorscha that I didn’t see coming.

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.
