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.

I found this to be way better than expected, since I couldn't stand ACOTAR. I'm going to read it in text form and then formulate additional thoughts, but I really loved Celaena as a protagonist.

Definitely worse than I remember. Hard to get through on the second read. But it was neat to pick up on things I missed the first time around.

Such a great start to a series!!!

Loved, loved, loved this book!!! I now know what everyone has been raving about...Sarah J. Maas is an amazing writer!!!!

There are so many awesome things about this book, the world building, the characters, the intense action and on the edge of your seat excitement, the strong emotions, etc.

Celaena was my favorite character. She is funny, strong, brave, loyal, smart, girly and emotional...which is very unique in a strong female character.

The relationships are so strong between Celaena and Nehemia, Dorian and Chaol. I'm looking forward to seeing how they develop in the series.

About halfway through this book I found out that there are four short story prequels. I know I should read them next, but I'm torn because I really want to read Heir of Fire and find out what happens next. If I only knew, I would have read the prequels first.
So, if you're interested in this series start with the prequels.
