Ok so i didn’t love it like i was expecting to, HOWEVER i think there’s a strong possibility I’ll grow into this series as i keep reading. I liked it enough and want to understand the hype. There were plenty of moments of both suspense and fantasy themes but not in as much depth as i would have liked. Very PG which i was sad about after ACOTAR hahahahaha

So much to unpack… should i just not work this afternoon so i can start the next book in the series? Probably

So much character growth

Honestly probs like 3.5. Didn’t capture my attention like neon gods did (@madison you were so right book 1 is the best) but still a fun audiobook with a cool Greek mythology spin. Airplane emoji wicked beauty

Saw this on the shelf at b&n and had a visceral memory of LOVING this book as a kid. Young AR reader me would be so happy I’m getting back into reading

“To being the most fearsome and imposing girls the world has ever seen.”

Read post heir of fire and pre queen of shadows. I loved each separate novella of five in this prequel and loved how it answered questions hinted at in the first three books. The red desert setting was probs my fav of the novellas. I adored her relationship with Sam, though I wish there was more of a deep dive there. So excited to get back to book four and see what’s next for miss Celaena <3

Rating: 3.5/5
Spice: 100/5

Loved the competition plot but i wish there were more rounds of it lol

"Let's go rattle the stars."

Gives me ACOMAF vibes leading into whatever comes next… I really fell in love with some characters that previously felt unattached to. Incredible final 100 pages, no notes.

Tandem read with tower of dawn!

Okay THISSSS is ACOWAR vibes - such amazing buildup to the final chapters. Characters continue to grow on me
