Pros: Addictive writing style, great world building, and spicy romance.
Cons: Stilted dialogue, underdeveloped characters, unearned emotional punches, and the occasional cringeworthy word choice.
If you are a fan of Maas, this is basically the same story line as all her books. Except dragons.
I will probably not read the rest of this series, but I will gladly put on the inevitable prestige television adaptation in the background while I fold laundry and cook dinner.
