I didn't expect to like this as much as I did. Laini Taylor's writing style feels like "calligraphy written in honey". It captured me instantly. The story feels like sitting at a campfire and being told old tales. I was also impressed by the nuance with which Taylor described her characters. At first sight there were heroes and monsters, but after looking closer that distinction wasn't clear anymore. Only thing I didn't like was the cliffhanger at the end,  made the ending feel very sudden. 
I loved this, gonna go buy Muse of Nightmares now.
