I loved Sam Courtland so much, that is all I have to say.

Gahhh!!! Sooo good!!! 
Now I’m glad I waited to read this one after reading books 1 & 2, so I know who Celaena is now, & then reading this book gave me more of an insight into why she is the way she is. And I just love it! I love her!  Amazing!!! 
But also, a part of me wishes I started with this book, because falling in love with Sam & his character, knowing that by the end he is going to die, is pure torture! It just made finishing the book so much harder! & yes I cried when he died even knowing ahead of time it was going to happen!
And Arobynn, I never liked him, and always had an inkling he was the one that betrayed Celaena, but to actually meet him, & get to know him, gah! He’s despicable! He might actually be worse then the King of Adarlan! Keyword, might. We’ll have to see what happens as the rest of the books play out.

I throughly enjoyed this book and I am eager to start the throne of glass series. I was hooked and invested in many of the chatacters, some of which i hope will return. Celaenas fate had me almost in tears and
  oh Sam . I wonder what sort of life they could have lived together.


3.5 stars as of just finishing it but that is subject to change in the next coming days whilst i think about the book.

what the fuck. i dont trust anyone who says this book is bad. 
i cannot stop crying. i hated Arobynn from the moment we meet him, but now i hope he gets brutally crucified. 
i can’t stop thinking about how she lost her virginity to FUCKING Chaol. immediately mad. Chaol is just so bland.
Sam was her world, their time got cut way short. i’m sad, mad, my heart is in pieces. the amount of times she was betrayed on this book is heartbreaking.
