LOVED this book. I like that it could stand alone or can really hook you into the series. The main character is a bada$$ and I even like how the sideline characters support her arch. Big fan and would highly recommend to most people, though it does get pretty dark at times.

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.
