I saw her true name coming, there were a lot of hints throughout the book. But the fact that she is fae, was a bit of a surprise, looking back, there were a few hints for that too, but I just missed them cause I was waiting for the name reveal.
But also, Dorian has magic? That was a shocker!!! I can’t wait to see how all the magic plays out!

Ok, this one was definitely better than the first book, well at least the second half. The first half did drag a bit.
I like that Celaena is finally starting to show those assassin traits I was hoping to see in the first book. She has moments when she is absolutely ruthless and badass. But we still had moments of her making these dumb ass choices.
The love triangle is still annoying to me. It's looking like it will tear apart Dorian and Chaol's friendship, especially after Chaol's decisions at the end of the book to
The only part I was truly surprised by was
Finally we are getting a bit more action and magical elements in the story.
Tropes: love triangle, fantasy

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.
