Compared to Throne of Glass and Crown of Midnight, this book was more enjoyable. There's not quite as much focus on the weird love triangle between Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian. And we learn a lot more about the witches and the fae, so obviously there is a lot more magic in this book.  There are some parts of the story that felt a little like the author was pulling at strings to get the plot to go where she needed it to go. A lot happens in this book and the POV switches between several characters. Usually this bothers me, but perhaps because I listened to the audiobook version, it didn't seem so jarring to switch POV because I was able to move through the story a lot faster than when I read text. The ending leaves you on a cliffhanger wondering what happens next.

4.0

I think so far in the series this is my least favourite of the books. I loved all the other ones but I felt like there was a hundred page lag in the middle where it could have been sped up. I also felt like the flashes to Manon and sometimes Choal were unnecessary with very little new information being added to the story or character development. I definitely do not think this was a bad book but I do think it was a weaker one in the series. I also would like to note that I think this was an important book for the character development of celena and will serve as a foundation for her future personality moving forwards.
