I enjoyed this book for the most part. The characters were fun, even the side characters. I especially loved Nox and wished he was in more of the book. I liked the little mystery that unraveled as the story progressed. I was left with a couple questions but I feel like those will be answered later in the series. My biggest complaint was the ending, it felt forced and OOC. 

This series has a set of novellas that occur before the start of this book. I recommend reading those first. It gives insight into the MC and its nice to have context on the events she refers to throughout the story. Plus I don't think I would have liked her as much had I not known about her past.

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.

I need Chaol right now. I'm starting to think I have a thing for emotionally distant men.
