I do wish there was a clearer distinction and more organized approach when switching POVs but it’s a fun switch.
I’m excited to see where this series goes. This was a great opener.

I can sense that I am going to be absolutely lost in this series for the unforeseeable future. A perfect introductory book to a series. I already feel so connected with the characters, and this book has only scratched the surface of their identities and background.Â
The slow-burn, banter, emotional development of Celaena, world building, political intrigue, and the variety of characters, are just barely touching the surface of things that I loved about this book. There were times I audibly laughed, gasped, or gaped like a crazy person, as if I truly was there in person.Â
I will be rushing to any store to get book 2 as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning.Â
Moderate: Gore and Suicidal thoughts

All of the content warnings are really for the whole series, as I can’t remember specifics to everything in this book.cabalus's review against another edition
