This series is going to give me a heart attack, I swear. Holy heck, SJM, you really know how to build the drama!

This one starts slow and has more world-building right at the beginning. We're on a different continent so it's useful and important information, but between the new info, cast of characters, and Celaena/Aelin's dark emotiotional state, there was some effort required to get going. Manon is interesting and I can't wait to see what happens with the Thirteen and Abraxos. Also I'm curious to see what Chaol gets up to moving forward. He's very.... Chaol-y, but still. What's your next move, bud?

An amazing emotional trip and continuance of the series.  It keeps you literally on the edge of your seat. I could not put the book down and there are not a lot of books out there that does that to me..  I will be thinking about this story for the next several days.  It’s definitely a book and a series that you can dive in and forget the world around you.  ❤️. LOVED IT!

I took a HUGE break from this one after devouring TOG & CoM but when I got the itch to pick it up again, I was hooked. I can't wait to continue this series 👏

per my spreadsheet:
all i put in my spreadsheet was 'damn dude'

so many new and wonderful characters and story lines introduced in this book, so excited to keep reading and see where this story takes me

spice 🌶  - a 2 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 weeks 2 days
did it make me cry? - this is the one that did it.
