πŸ—‘ I just finished my first SJM book and now I can fairly well understand the hype!

πŸ—‘ Review:
I really enjoyed the book but it had some predictable parts to it. However, they felt unique because of the setting, mood, and character interactions. The pacing was a little slow for my liking, but I didn’t mind it, because there was so much of vivid descriptive writing throughout. I could actually see every immaculate detail in the scenes before my eyes which was lovely.

As for Celaena, she is one of the most badass, strong-willed, and powerful female heroines that I’ve ever come across and I loved her character. The love triangle between Celaena, the Crown Prince, Dorian, and the Captain of the Guard, Chaol, didn’t seem forced in any way, which is very rare. I personally liked Chaol more (but *SPOILER* that doesn’t matter because Celaena isn’t gonna end up with either of them, which I already know thanks to all the booksta hype 😬).

One thing’s for sure, this was a pretty decent romantasy read. Classic old-school YA Fantasy about an assassins competition. I love SJM’s writing and can’t wait to read more books from her.
