I personally preferred Assassin's blade but this is still really good. I really wanted Celaena to get with Nehemia though.

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 🙄

I devoured this book. It was easy to follow and even the slower parts were interesting. I was kept engaged and intrigued. I love Dorian and Celaena’s witty banter. The way Chaol cares for Celaena in his own way is amazing.

Celaena and Nehemiah’s friendship is precious and I love how Elena defends Celaena.

I do wish there was a clearer distinction and more organized approach when switching POVs but it’s a fun switch.

I also thought the reveal that Cain was summoning creatures was a little predictable. I was surprised to see that Perrington was controlling him and not just influencing him.

I’m excited to see where this series goes. This was a great opener.
