Rereading TOG might actually be more enjoyable than the first time through. Knowing the characters better and being able to pick up on the foreshadowing of events to come has been really fun. The second book has such a great ending that really sets the series into motion!

I can’t believe they killed off Nehemia. She was such a strong female character and I loved her and Celaena’s friendship. It was heartbreaking, but I got such ick vibes from Archer I knew he was somehow involved. 

The ending did get me bad because I knew something odd was going on with her background but I had no idea she WAS Aelin. That really threw me but I’m so excited to see what happens next. Chaol keeps giving me bad vibes, and I really hope that Dorian gets more involved later on because he’s really starting to grow on me.

Oh my word! Gah. Those are the two things that keep popping in my head. 

I love this. This was a huge step up for me from AB and TOG and I still enjoyed both of them. I love these characters so much already and I can’t wait to see what happens next!

Honestly such a step up from the first book. SJM still doesn’t have the best grasp on her characters and sometimes makes conflicting statements about them but the plot picked up so much in this book. the ending was so fun to read and Chaol’s realization made me cackle out loud.
