I can't say a lot of negative things about this one:
The chapters were really short and the story felt fast-paced, there wasn't a lot oft unnecessairy situations and we mostly just got right to the action, which was motivating to keep reading. I think SJM's writing gets better and better and is really easy to understand.

Chaols and Celaenas relationship was just so fun and wholesome to watch. The way they kept teasing each other and just were so in love made me smile.
I looooved the plot of Dorian having magic and slowly understanding it better and better, it gave the book even more exciting turns and makes it feel magical.

Celaena is a really good female main character, she's empowering, independent, her reactions feel human and she's not the "small, little, fragile" girl.
I think the way Nehemia's death was placed was really good and fitting and rounded up the story really well, even if it was pretty sad and emotional.
I'm really looking forward to see how the characters and the storyline is going to develope within the next few books.
