per my spreadsheet:
all i put in my spreadsheet was 'damn dude'

so many new and wonderful characters and story lines introduced in this book, so excited to keep reading and see where this story takes me

spice 🌶  - a 2 🌶  spicy (romance.io scale)
length - just right
reading speed - read in 2 weeks 2 days
did it make me cry? - this is the one that did it.

4.0

I think this book lost some steam in comparison to the first 2 books. I think it's mostly because there is so much world building and necessary character introductions. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was Manon's POV. It just felt like I had to push through her chapters to get to the good stuff.

I think this book loses a little steam compared to the first 2 books simply because there's a lot more world building going on. I think SJM does an excellent job writing in multiple perspectives. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was Manon's POV. It just felt like I was pushing myself to finish her chapters any time they showed up.

3.5

She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and she would not be afraid.

3.5☆ but I still enjoyed it pretty much a lot. I couldn't put it down.
The writing is really good, addictive. The world, the magic, Celaena's adventures - all were very interesting to see. Not gonna lie, I was here mainly for Celaena kicking the King's ass and Chaol and Dorian helping her in that. I mostly enjoyed the book, however! There were triggering upsetting moments present (

descriptions of Celaena's past in Endovier, Manon's cruelty and her grandmother's, Maeve's cruelty, cruelty towards wyverns

). Those moments quite ruined the enjoyment of the book, that's why 3.5 stars and not 4 or more, alas. Other than that I really loved this book, as much as I did with previous two in the series.
P.S. it's really cute that Sarah Maas included her dog in acknowledgements!

Ooohh this book was good! 
Every storyline was interesting and served to move the plot forward in a way that made sense. 
Celaena's character growth in this was great. This book really feels like a turning point in the series, and I love it! 

As usual, SJM puts the last 20% of the book in chaos mode and I have never been more grateful to not have to wait for the next book in a series to come out.
