Fun, quick, popcorn-y read. Writing gets better in the second book. Plot is very similar to Megan Whalen Turner’s The Queen’s Thief series

I struggled to start this read, so opted to listen to the audio book instead. The narration was pleasant and immersive and helped me get over my initial aversion to the more novice writing due to it being one of Sara J. Maas’ earlier works. I’m glad I did because I greatly enjoyed the second half of this book and I’m very excited to continue learning more about the fantasy world Maas is so skilled at building! And of course there’s just enough romance to keep me wanting more.

Similar to the book Powerless. Powerless was definitely inspired by Sara J Maas. 

I tried to start this series with the assassins blade (bad idea). This book really hooked me the first part. The middle was slow for me. The last quarter of the book went by fast. I like how Maas wrote the different perspectives and switched in the same chapter. I also liked the multiple romantic interests.

A great story. It didn't get 5 stars because I don't think I'd re-read it, and the pacing is a little slow at times. I also never found myself really excited to pick the book up strangely although I did like it when. I was reading it. 
Interested in seeing what the rest of the series is like though!
