This book shocked me. It was a little overwhelming at first but I was really invested in the world and some of these characters. Then all of the sudden, bam! Dead. My heart was broken and then I became even more invested. I felt like I was going through the stages of grief with the main character. Bryce is a badass and a love her smartassness. The murder mystery really held my interest and it was like my first fantasy who done it. It was so good. I will say I was sobbing by the end of this book. There is a line in there that is also in Throne of Glass (I won't include it for dramatic effect) but let me tell you I was a puddle of tears. I don't know how she keeps doing it but Sarah J Maas just keeps releasing absolute bangers when it comes to story telling. I will probably be emotionally destroying by the end of this series but hey! I am okay with that. Definitely recommending this to everyone I know.
