The fact that I rated this 3/5 stars the first time I read it is absolutely criminal! My apologies to Sarah J. Maas because this book is actually incredibly well written. The story telling is so much more developed and the balance between the action needed to move an epic fantasy forward and the emotional exploration that adds depth to each character is spot on. I still maintain that the witches’s storyline is a bit boring and seemingly out of place. However, knowing that their role becomes crucial in later books helped me be more invested in their part this time around.
