There is poison! Both a theoretical poisoning (a controlled environment, but still theoretically very dangerous) and a second scene with a purposeful poisoning with an agent that can cause death. There are also hallucinations (which end up to be technically real) caused by the poisoning.smuttymcbookface's review against another edition

This world created by Sarah J. Maas is very interesting, and the storyline is very appealing and makes us want to read more, but I was expecting something more. I don't know how to explain it better. Maybe the hype around this book made me thing that this book was something else. Somehow I feel that this book did not needed to be this big to tell this story. Maybe a shorter book would have been better for me, I found some parts quite boring.
Overall, I enjoyed this book and want to read the second one to discover what kind of adventures are awaiting for Celaena.
