by the last 150ish pages its safe to say I was a little obsessed. Not kidding the climax of the book had me so mad and celebratory at the same time I was screaming about it lmao
Also the CHARACTERS how am I supposed to choose between dorian and chaol when their both such amazing characters?
Just wasn't enough to be a 5 star BUT it was close.

Spoiler
I can’t believe they killed off Nehemia. She was such a strong female character and I loved her and Celaena’s friendship. It was heartbreaking, but I got such ick vibes from Archer I knew he was somehow involved.The ending did get me bad because I knew something odd was going on with her background but I had no idea she WAS Aelin. That really threw me but I’m so excited to see what happens next. Chaol keeps giving me bad vibes, and I really hope that Dorian gets more involved later on because he’s really starting to grow on me.

I love this. This was a huge step up for me from AB and TOG and I still enjoyed both of them. I love these characters so much already and I can’t wait to see what happens next!
