Again, I find myself at loss for words. This book is epic, made me lose track of time and everything. It's fantastic. There are no words.

Okay, I’m doing a 180 from my first review on Throne of Glass! I found this sequel to be much more captivating, with a believable and very sweet romance, lots of action, more world-building and background-learning, and much more depth to the characters. I’m excited to go back and read Assassin’s Blade next.

Similar to the first book in the Throne of Glass series, I was really intrigued in the beginning then the end kind of lost me. I don’t know if I’m still learning the universe and it’s making it harder to get into the harder concepts or what. 

Good book loved the twist

Chaol learning about Celeana’s heritage

. I found Chaol to be the most interesting character in this book because of his

struggle to choose sides between his loyalty to the kingdom and Celeana

.

This book brought some long-lost inspiration & magic inside of me back to life. Such great imagery of a female assassin!! She really captured my imagination with the descriptions in this book, one of the only books I’ve read that I felt I could truly visualize. The plot was always moving & interesting. Honestly the only things keeping it from 5 stars are

the whole talking doorknob thing

and the

sort of weird twist with Archer that felt a bit manufactured

. Cannot wait to read the next one. I appreciate ACOTAR but damn this series has sooooo much more plot!

I'm still enjoying following Celaena's story, she's a fun character. She does make some choices in this book that I thought seemed about OOC from what I know about her, but maybe I just have the wrong idea of her? 

I really liked this installment of the story because there was a little mystery the readers could try to solve. It was fun gathering all the little hints to see if I could discover what was going on. I got somethings right but was caught off guard with other things so it was a lot of fun!

I'm looking forward to the next read!
