this book had so much potential to be amazing but it felt so slow and absolutely bored me so many times. i was expecting a lot of assassinating and interactions with people who were important in Celaena’s past but we didn’t actually get much of that. if someone wants to commit to this series and understand everything i suggest you read this but personally if i’m going to do a reread i’ll probably skip this book.

I really liked this book. It was a great pace that kept me engaged (read in 1 day). I also found the characters cute and interesting. Overall enjoyed the fact that it gave both plot and character development. Excited to get into the next 7 books.
