Reviews with content warning for Violence - The Assassin's Blade

Look, I appreciate getting to know more about Celaena's past and what led to her downfall. I understand she was only a teenager, and in love, and it made her stupid and acted rashly. But like...come on! You could tell it was

a trap from miles away!

She's supposed to be the *best*. I struggled with this one.

This book is just, insanely good. I can't even describe it. It has left me speechless.

The action in this is very exciting and I can tell you that there is quite a lot of it. It's incredibly enjoyable to read and I'm always anticipating for the next action packed scene.

The characters individual personalities are something I find very intriguing in this, too. Everyone is different. Of course they are, but you get a very clear idea of who they're like as a person. It's something I personally haven't read much of, so it's interesting to say the least.

Not to mention that Sams death literally chattered my heart into a thousand pieces. I don't understand how SJM can simply get rid of a character in a blink of an eye. :(

Anyway, it was really entertaining to read and a great adventure I wish I could experience again!

This book is very good though it took me a while to really get into it. It's not as good as the ACOTAR series so far, but the last 150p were very intense and thrilling. I cannot wait to start reading the next one.

if you're sensitive you'll be crying by the end of the book
