I read this before reading the throne of glass series and really enjoyed it. Such a heart breaking ending!
My main grievance is that it kept repeating key plot points every time someone was mentioned. It just felt repetitive.

I love how the character’s age and corresponding naivety/poor thinking was a weakness - though it doesn’t quite fit with her being the world’s deadliest assassin! But I guess they just do and don’t have to question what they’re sent for!

I also felt the main love interest was a bit flat - his whole personality was that and it came out of nowhere after all the jealousy. It also seemed like every male she interacted with was a potential love interest. It felt a bit much.


I’m looking forward to seeing how the rest of the series holds up.
