This entry was definitely a huge improvement over the first book. We get to see Celaena in action way more and the plot threads and intrigues are much more interesting. Chaol is a bit of a wet blanket and not an engaging romantic lead in my opinion. And, as much as I like Nehemia, she fits the "magical black person" trope a bit too well for my liking—plus, y'know,
she fucking dies
. I am looking forward to the increasing scope of the narrative in the next book!
