i absolutely LOVED like chap 40ish to the end! the rest was very boring for me.

i really tried to care about Manon, and i had moments where i would get into the whole wyvern story. i know in the next books i’ll find out why her story is so important, but the fact that we’re just now following some rando witch is hard to grasp. i also thought the story line with dorian and sorscha was very forced. did i cry still? yes. it felt like she was just added to create character development for dorian. maybe if we were introduced to her way earlier in the story, like when they were getting healed in the past. or maybe even waited until next book to kill her, cause her development felt very rushed in the last few chapters she was in.

i did laugh and cry, and do my “i’m enjoying this” move where i set down the book and kinda have to talk to myself about whatever is emotionally hitting me.

the killing of all the slaves really got me. usually in books i don’t cry unless it’s about deaths of specific characters, but this was horrific. it’s also maybe me reading it with the timing of Palestine being in the news constantly that really got me emotional. thinking about something that horrific and realizing it’s literally happening to mostly children in real life. oof.

Almost perfect. I just felt like some of the POV’s just made it drag horribly. But overall my favorite book in the series by far

This is my favorite book so far. It’s so emotional and so many things are revealed, and it just breaks your heart. Manan is a favorite of mine and I love Aedion.

The emotional journey Celaena goes through in this book is so good. I feel like I was on a rollercoaster in the best way. The side characters feel like main characters as we dig deeper into their stories. I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.

Omg! Did this series get REALLY good!!! Sarah J Maas seems to start her series off simple with minimum characters & world building & their good. But once she’s a book or 2 in, she like let’s loose! Quadruples the amount of characters, makes the world so much bigger, and just lets all the drama and problems unfold. & I have to say it is a brilliant strategy. You don’t necessarily get fully hooked to the story in the beginning, but she’s not throwing a lot of stuff at you at once. If I started this book without having already known some of the characters, I don’t know if I would have been able to follow along and remember who all the players are. But having been brought into the story slowly, I followed it so easy, and I am thankful for that!
This book was incredible! I can’t wait for the rest of the series & to hopefully meet even more amazing characters!

The fact that I rated this 3/5 stars the first time I read it is absolutely criminal! My apologies to Sarah J. Maas because this book is actually incredibly well written. The story telling is so much more developed and the balance between the action needed to move an epic fantasy forward and the emotional exploration that adds depth to each character is spot on. I still maintain that the witches’s storyline is a bit boring and seemingly out of place. However, knowing that their role becomes crucial in later books helped me be more invested in their part this time around.
