Didn’t really feel the stakes ante up until mid way. I went into expecting an adult romantasy and got more fantasy than romance. Though slow on plot it was fun and entertaining read. Selene was giving “I’m not like other girls “ which made her extremely annoying through the first half of the book but luckily it improves. Unfortunately no one bones in this book 🙄

First Read: 
Meh. Plot could have been interesting but I didn't buy the characters so it was hard to stay attached to. Pretty cringe at times, especially in the attempt at feminism... the main character was supposed to be this badass warrior but she was primarily concerned with her looks and if men were attracted to her- ick. Almost DNF, Not planning on continuing this series. 2/5

Second Read:
Last time I read this was in quarantine when I was looking for books to say something meaningful and help me understand and appreciate the world so of course it fell flat. This time, I was not only more prepared for Maas' writing style because I read her last series, but I was also just looking for something I could listen to in the background as I do school work. In this context, it was a great pick. Still a bit cringe-y, but that's just Maas' style and I was able to laugh it off more this time. In fact, I kind of liked seeing a portrayal of a woman being vain and powerful at the same time... made me question if my reluctance to embrace Celaena is internalized misogyny because I expect strong people to act less girly. That said, I can't give it too much credit for depth overall. It's a nice lighthearted action-mystery story with a touch romantic tension. I plan to keep reading this series.
