Quick, easy, and very enjoyable read. She hooks you from the start and gets you very invested in the characters very quickly. I very much enjoyed the elusiveness of the magic in the book, I look forward to learning more about it in the series.

The book is entertaining but I wouldn’t say its good or great. I have mixed feelings about the writing and certain plot lines (ex. the repetition about Celeana and Dorian’s beauty). At the same time, I liked some of the world-building and the friendship between Celeana and Nehemia.

okay initial thoughts on the characters
celaena: i generally like her but sometimes she's kind of annoying, at the beginning when she kept saying all the ways she could kill people i was like "is this satire or...." but she grew on me
chaol: my fave character! i liked that he was kind of bitch but u could see his soft spots shining thru, it felt like he was kind of conflicted the whole time which i liked
dorian: lowkey kind of a pussboy but there's nothing really to Hate about him, he's just kinda meh rn

overall this book was pretty good, though it got a bit repetitive like halfway through and i felt like i was just reading the same scenes over and over again. oh and i love nehemia she's kind of slaying the game

Honestly, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel rereading this book for the first time in seven years, but it did not disappoint. It's been long enough since my last read that I had forgotten enough to be surprised by a majority of the many twists and turns.

I'm starting this series re-read because the last time I read the Throne of Glass series Tower of Dawn was just about to come out, so the farthest I've ever made it is the end of Empire of Storms. We'll see how well the rest of the series holds up after seven years!
