4.0

Extremely addicting book, though the writing at first feels very "I'm not like other girls" vibes. It got better, however, and honestly was quite a good listen. It felt cheesy and kind of kitchy, but honestly loveable in that kind of silly way.

Unique in some ways, but felt very much like the Tamora Pierce Tortall universe, both in writing and character development (and even plot, now thinking about it more). Fun in a way that isn't complicated.

I'd recommend this book for YA audiences, or adults who don't mind the mushy feelings of youth.

I love that the book has an overly talented female main character *and* that she is extremely unique in her talents and backstory.

I devoured this book. It was easy to follow and even the slower parts were interesting. I was kept engaged and intrigued. I love Dorian and Celaena’s witty banter. The way Chaol cares for Celaena in his own way is amazing.
Celaena and Nehemiah’s friendship is precious and I love how Elena defends Celaena.


I do wish there was a clearer distinction and more organized approach when switching POVs but it’s a fun switch.
I also thought the reveal that Cain was summoning creatures was a little predictable. I was surprised to see that Perrington was controlling him and not just influencing him.


I’m excited to see where this series goes. This was a great opener.

I can’t believe I waited so long to start this series. It will put me in a book coma for sure
