3.0

if the book had 200-300 more pages to actually flesh out the characters, world, and plot more, it would've easily been a 5/5. Or even better, 2 different books that then converge/combine to make the rest of the series. 

someone described it as 2 aelin's (from tog), so yay. but it's more like 1 aelin and 1 celaena (if celaena was unable to make up her mind and was a hypocrite.) 

the big "plot twist" doesn't happen until 70%? so i get why people are voting medium pace. But with that being said, i have never wanted a book to slow down more. as i said, would have been so much better as 2 books or even just if it was a bit longer. the constant switching between characters and timelines is a lot. on top of that, chapters are short, so as soon as i was invested in one timeline, we're back to the other one. 

also the plot twist is obvious if you think about it, but
the only thing stopping it from being obvious is the 1,000 year jump.
