3.0

Slightly disappointed because I was sure I was going to love it. There’s just something about Maas’s writing I don’t care for. It’s very transparent and predictable. The plot and characters just don’t give me the entertaining feeling I want from a fantasy. I was looking forward to the tests and trails but most weren’t shown on page, more telling than showing- boring. I was hoping for the final 100 to really push it but not quite,

the whole the hero could never win in this scenario… but they do. Is just not my cup of tea. It was so painfully obvious that Cain was behind the attacks and the king was the larger puppet master

. Leaves it all just feeling lack luster. I may try the next book just to see how it improves but I’m not as hopeful
