I really had a difficult time getting into this book. Halfway through the third novella, it finally picked up for me and I was excited to continue reading. But before that I found it very boring and a chore to read through. I hated Celaena at first, but did enjoy her character growth over the course of these novellas. Ultimately I’m excited to continue the Throne of Glass series because I’ve heard such amazing things about it. Just glad I’m done with slugging through this book and hopefully will love the others much more.
