⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
My heart is pounding with the pace of these books! This is not a drill! I repeat! This is not a drill!
I won't lie, I did think perhaps I wouldn't fall for this series because I had an expectation of them. Usually, when something has been hyped up by others, I feel slightly deflated by the book itself but no. This is not the case...
So much to say and so little space!
1. Celaena is a boss bitch! This girl has more about her than most female characters I've read in a while! I mean, let's be clear, I knew she wasn't simply an assassin, but dropping a bomb like that made me sit up sharp and reread the sentence! The best part is...then I got to do it again! A stellar way to close @therealsjmaas Inspired!
2. I need to take a moment to appreciate the men here. I can't decide who I want to take home at the end of the night...The Crown Prince or the Captain of the Guard 😍. They are such dreams in totally opposite ways! Can I take both or is that greedy?
3. Nehemia. Such a smart woman but so much could have been saved if she just spoke without riddles!
I screamed upon reading the final 2 lines of this book. Like, really screamed! The second has now taken its place on the bedside...but only while I type this 😂. I have a week off work so I will definitely be posting about that one in a few days! Now excuse me...I have a new book to start.
