I’m trying to think of how to start this review and all I have is screaming noises. 

I feel like this book is finally stepping into the Throne of Glass that everyone loves so much. I can see the threads being set up even while this book was so satisfying in itself. 

I loved Celaena’s and Manon’s chapters (I’m excited to finally get to meet Manon, and Rowan). The castle boys were a little less fascinating, but I was still invested in everything happening there as well. Oh, Sorscha. 🥲

This took me a long time, but I simply cannot devour these books. They demand to be savored, and I could often only read a chapter or two a night to give it the attention it deserves. I’m so excited for the next one.

Love it, love it, love it, LOVE IT!
   
Characters discover themselves, overcome hardships, and make new connections. We see more of this world, learn more of the magic, and we get battles and EVEN MORE political intrigue. So, so good. 
   
And WHAT a cliffhanger!!!! I’m reading the prequel next so this is brutal to leave lol

I love how this series just keeps building!! Every detail is important. It’s soooo well written. It always surprises me when someone or something I thought wasn’t important is, or the other way around. I liked how Thai book felt like it was kind of a preparation book for the next book, although to some this may feel like you are just getting through the training part to get to the real battle I really just love seeing how Celaena’s character is changing and growing. I also loved the new relationships in this book!

It took me a while to truly get into this book, but in typical SJM Fashion I was hooked in the second half. The first section was a lot of world building for a new continent and new character introductions. My favorite of the series so far. 
I really hated manors story arc in the beginning. I didn’t like her until she saved Petrah near the end. But every time the thirteen showed up I wanted to stop reading. Love love love Rowan though and this did have a good twist with Sorscha that I didn’t see coming.

I cried reading this book. The story is great and i loved the characters. The POVs change but it’s great. Typical for a Sarah J. Maas book: the last 100 pages everything’s on fire.
