4.0

0/5🌶️ (it doesn’t need it tbh)

(competition, trials, magic, politics, assasin, badass FMC, royalty, just so fucking good pls read it)

THIS IS MY FAVORITE SERIE EVER and it has my favorite FMC so im biased but idc

Let me start by saying that this is the weakest book in TOG and there’s nothing wrong with it bc YOU NEED to read it to then go to the next one and it picks up TRUST ME. you will regret it if you don’t get through it

i’m rereading it for the first time and i have to say that compared with the other books i feel like it lacks action sometimes so i did lose a bit of interest in certain parts of the middle but I GET IT. 
For me this book is mainly for you to get to know the characters and Cel and get a bit of a taste of what the plot will look like in the future.
I love it because you get so familiar with her and it makes you root for her every time even when she messes up because you feel like you know her and i found myself defending her even tho her decisions were not always the right ones. she’s my bitch fr.

I love the beginning sooo much 
(i always reread the meeting of Chaol and Dorian with Celaena) from the departure from Endovier to the test of the competition…chefs kiss.
then in the middle i got distracted a little bit at times and lost a bit of motivation bc i don’t really like love triangles (even tho it’s barely there) and i never liked dorian in this book lol, so i got the ick whenever they were together…also i wanted to skip Kaltain’s pov bc i was so invested in Cel pov even tho it is important to read it, so yeah 
BUT THEN you get towards the end and get know FINALLY about the wyrdmarks and then cain and the duel and it’s sooo good 

so to sum it up this is nostalgic to me and i love getting to know Celaena but i just wanted to finish it and get to the next books bc its when everything starts to make real sense and nothing stops from there, it’s literally the calm before the storm

PLS JUST READ UNTIL HEIR OF FIRE IF YOU WANT TO GIVE UP.
I PROMISE YOU CROWN OF MIDNIGHT IS GOOD BUT HEIR OF FIRE IS WHERE ITS AT, THEN YOU CAN DECIDE. Ok BYEEEE

3.5/5🌶️

if you want smut: this book is for u
if you are looking for anything else: goodbye

like i know that no one picks this up to read about the plot or the depth of the characters but fuck…
EVERYTHING IS SMUT. 
only 10% of the book is for the plot and side characters, every other page is just sex. her puss must be on fire bc fuck

its almost too much so i just put it down when i wasn’t in the mood and read other more serious books till i felt like it

also these books always have so many men that its hard to tell each apart and i am one of those people who needs a visual image of each character its impossible to keep up

the good side: im kinda new to omegaverse and i just started understanding everything and this book actually explains it pretty well in the beginning, i would recommend it to someone who wants to get into it

i needed something to read after bride and found this book, i liked bride more but i oike that it was just a light and not complicated plot, honestly there isn’t any its just how the main couple gains trust and end up together and i am a fan of forced proximity/fake dating trope so this was perfect

it’s nothing special and honestly i don’t think i read this again lol but  i did enjoy it and the spice was good

okay LISTEN 
i did try to resist reading it till i couldn’t anymore BUUT just because everyone and their mother was raving about it on tiktok and that just makes me not want to read it because they hype everything so much and i already caved with forthwing and that ended almost in my DNF…..

this being said, im gonna shut up ab it bc..
i ATE this up
it was entertaining and funny and honestly the spice was good it even got me by surprise 

the book is not anything crazy but it gets you wanting to read more and it doesn’t take itself seriously so as you read you keep the same vibes, it gives fanfic and i was there for it

over all its nothing special and the conflict was solved in one chapter but i did really like it bc i wasn’t here for the plot lol

if you get in a reading slump or are in need of a fun-not serious-exciting distraction from other dense books this is exactly what i would recommend
