I really enjoyed reading this, more than I thought I would. It read very YA, but it was also well written and engaging. I was excited to dive into the world every time I could listen to this audiobook for a good chunk of time. There wasn’t as much world building as I would have liked, or depth of character, but the way this book was written makes it seem like both of those are coming throughout the series. I am so excited to continue reading!

I loved Celaena!! Such a strong character, very complex and yet still relateable. It really takes some skill to make an assassin feel like an average person. I also loved the little bits of romance that were in there! Honestly though, the ending fight scene was hard to read.

Especially knowing that she had been drugged it was just tough to read through a whole chapter or a few  of her struggling and hallucinating. I just wish that part had been shortened slightly, that’s all.
