It’s been a while since I’ve read a piece of fantasy like this, so maybe this factors in, but I found it hard to suspend my disbelief throughout this book. Hopeful for more world-building in the next book of the series, excited to learn more of the background information. Some of the tropes were boring and much of the book was predictable. Depends on what you’re looking for in a read, definitely a fun mindless escape with an interesting premise.

Honestly, I wasn't sure how I was going to feel rereading this book for the first time in seven years, but it did not disappoint. It's been long enough since my last read that I had forgotten enough to be surprised by a majority of the many twists and turns. 

I'm starting this series re-read because the last time I read the Throne of Glass series Tower of Dawn was just about to come out, so the farthest I've ever made it is the end of Empire of Storms. We'll see how well the rest of the series holds up after seven years!
