Really loving this series, I’m definitely hooked and can’t wait to continue reading. I loved the trials in this even if they were short, shout out to the cup one, and I’m enjoying the love triangle for sure, moving the mystery to the plot excited for what to come and progress

Quick, easy, and very enjoyable read. She hooks you from the start and gets you very invested in the characters very quickly. I very much enjoyed the elusiveness of the magic in the book, I look forward to learning more about it in the series.

The book is entertaining but I wouldn’t say its good or great. I have mixed feelings about the writing and certain plot lines (ex. the repetition about Celeana and Dorian’s beauty). At the same time, I liked some of the world-building and the friendship between Celeana and Nehemia.

okay initial thoughts on the characters
celaena: i generally like her but sometimes she's kind of annoying, at the beginning when she kept saying all the ways she could kill people i was like "is this satire or...." but she grew on me
chaol: my fave character! i liked that he was kind of bitch but u could see his soft spots shining thru, it felt like he was kind of conflicted the whole time which i liked
dorian: lowkey kind of a pussboy but there's nothing really to Hate about him, he's just kinda meh rn

overall this book was pretty good, though it got a bit repetitive like halfway through and i felt like i was just reading the same scenes over and over again. oh and i love nehemia she's kind of slaying the game

Of course it's amazing. Honestly knew it would be, I got into the story immediately. The writing's great, the plots great, the characters are sooo loveable - obviously just a few of them. I'm looking forward to reading the following books. Also I regret not starting the series by reading tog - I read the assassin's blade first - and I think I'm bound to miss out on a lot of suspense having read the prequel as the first book.

I'm however quite sad about how she ends things with Dorian at the end of the book, but on the other hand I'd be thrilled by a chaol - Celeana love story
