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.

The book is entertaining but I wouldn’t say its good or great. I have mixed feelings about the writing and certain plot lines (ex. the repetition about Celeana and Dorian’s beauty). At the same time, I liked some of the world-building and the friendship between Celeana and Nehemia.

okay initial thoughts on the characters
celaena: i generally like her but sometimes she's kind of annoying, at the beginning when she kept saying all the ways she could kill people i was like "is this satire or...." but she grew on me
chaol: my fave character! i liked that he was kind of bitch but u could see his soft spots shining thru, it felt like he was kind of conflicted the whole time which i liked
dorian: lowkey kind of a pussboy but there's nothing really to Hate about him, he's just kinda meh rn

overall this book was pretty good, though it got a bit repetitive like halfway through and i felt like i was just reading the same scenes over and over again. oh and i love nehemia she's kind of slaying the game

Enjoyed Celaena's story. Lots of references from AB. I wish there was more from the tests and I hope some things get explained more later.
