All of the content warnings are really for the whole series, as I can’t remember specifics to everything in this book.cabalus's review against another edition

I like the characters, I like the world, and I love reading stories like this one and ACOTAR, that are led by some very basass women! I can’t wait to dive deeper into it all!

I am reading this as the first book I’m the series, even though a lot of people say you can read it third.
I liked her relationship with Nehemia a lot and love the female friendship angle. I feel that a lot of the relationships between champions could have been built up more, especially hers with Nox.
Chaol and Celaena probably had my favorite dynamic in the book, and I like them together more than her and Dorian even though he’s kind of the main love interest. It’s giving “love triangle” for most of the book so I’m excited to see where it goes.
Great world building so far and I’m interested to see more of it as she fights for her freedom.
