mysterious

3.25

The storyline in this one was more interesting than TOG was, though it still kinda feels like a setup to the main stories we will get with these characters. 
Not a fan of

like 85% of the book being driven by the absolute lack of communication between Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian

Also didn't really like

the whole love triangle thing. Just thruple and be done with it y'all smh. ((Half joking 🤭))

I am very very happy that

Fleetfoot is alive and going to be taken care of by Dorian. SJM if something happens to that doggo I will write a strongly worded, tear-stained letter about it!

Updated Review (June 2024):

Still fantastic. Dorian really grew on me this time around, and all the little hints and bits of foreshadowing are really just so fun to catch on a reread. Thoroughly enjoyed!

Original Review (March 2023):

Rating: 5/5 stars.

Splendid, perfect, marvelous, a bunch more adjectives. I was already enjoying this series but this is definitely the one that truly hooked me after the midway point.
