this book was so much fun, the writing has so clearly improved from the previous book and it was in so much more enjoyable and captivating. i’m glad this book expanded more on the world and gave more depth in the characters, that was done great.

but the absolute best thing about this book were definitely the twists and reveals that left me with so many questions, very exited to read the other books.

3.0

Did I understand a single thing that happened in this book? No. Did I enjoy every second of it? Yes.

Spoiler

That ending was so predictable. If 1+1=2, then of course Celaena is Aelin… Idk why Chaol reacted like that at the end tbh.

Also, speaking of Chaol, his and Celaena’s romance felt so forced. I much preferred her with Dorian (please give him another chance 😪). Their relationship just felt like another plot device that was created to keep the story ‘interesting.’ Did I still eat up their scenes together? Of course I bloody did. 

All those things about the Wyrdkeys went straight over my fat head. I have no clue what’s going on but I loved it. I rated it lower than TOG because I didn’t enjoy it as much.

Re-read. This is the series that got me back into reading for fun after college...little did I know what an avalanche it would become.

I devoured these first time I read them and I still enjoyed the strong female protagonist this time around and the continuous eruption of plot twists. I can't wait to continue.
