This is my favorite book so far. It’s so emotional and so many things are revealed, and it just breaks your heart. Manan is a favorite of mine and I love Aedion.

The emotional journey Celaena goes through in this book is so good. I feel like I was on a rollercoaster in the best way. The side characters feel like main characters as we dig deeper into their stories. I can’t wait to see where the story goes from here.

Omg! Did this series get REALLY good!!! Sarah J Maas seems to start her series off simple with minimum characters & world building & their good. But once she’s a book or 2 in, she like let’s loose! Quadruples the amount of characters, makes the world so much bigger, and just lets all the drama and problems unfold. & I have to say it is a brilliant strategy. You don’t necessarily get fully hooked to the story in the beginning, but she’s not throwing a lot of stuff at you at once. If I started this book without having already known some of the characters, I don’t know if I would have been able to follow along and remember who all the players are. But having been brought into the story slowly, I followed it so easy, and I am thankful for that!
This book was incredible! I can’t wait for the rest of the series & to hopefully meet even more amazing characters!
