I enjoyed reading this for a second time, as I could really appreciate all of the foreshadowing and seemingly unimportant elements and people that will end up playing a huge role later on.
Also, I know there's a lot of debate about when to read this book. The first time through I was very happy with my choice to read it third after Crown of Midnight, and after my second time, I agree with Maas that third is perfect for Celaena's character development. It fills in some of the mystery about her history, and now we're ready to move forward.
