I know there are a few options of when to read this book in the lineup. I read this after Heir of Fire.
I'm glad I chose to read it now, after seeing some of Celaena's character development. It took a little perseverance to go back to the old Celaena, with the unchecked anger, rash decisions, and naivety. It would have been much harder to get through if I hadn't had a glimpse of who she'd become.
I get that there's some important backstory here, though. I'm guessingthe information about Arobynn's betrayal will be important in Queen of Shadows, and maybe Ansel will even make an appearance?
