Okay, so my main dislike of the book is... Celaena Sardothien...i.e. our main character.
Celaena is one of the most self-contradicting, boastful, strangely stupid heroines I've ever had the pleasure? of reading.
The plot with the Wyrdmarks and competition was fun to try and figure out, though some of the characters roles were pretty easy to see through, and made Celaena's slow deductions almost painful.
I dislike the romance in this book as well, the trio of weird vibes and awkward flirtations was cringe to read, you can definitely tell the romance was written by a fifteen year old in my opinion, but take away that and I enjoyed both male leads, Dorian and Chaol. Sure both have their faults, but I think I appreciated their views and convictions more than our female lead.
The best character by far was the dog, Fleetfoot. Will continue reading the series for the doggo.
