This was a really solid middle book of a series, it progressed the plot in a way that was important to the series overall and had its own contained plot line as well as some interesting plot twists going along. My one complaint is that the romance plot has been getting a bit repetitive as the series goes on but everything else is great. I love the world and the main character.

I liked this one more than the first. Very engaging, tho I didn't quite buy the sudden romance w *you know who* but had fun with it anyway. Maas somehow makes very predictable twists still fun to uncover. The characters were also well developed in this one.
