...I didn't hate this. There’s a lot of sex jokes on here that I wasn’t expecting. I think the world building and the lore in this world is really interesting and I thought that over-arching plot that we got to see little bits and pieces of thought out the book was interesting and it made me keep going in the book. So I will be going on to the next book. I do think that Celaena is your typical 18 year old who thinks they’re running the place with their big ego, so I just kind of rolled my eyes at her for the majority of the book., but I can see why people like her and I am just more excited to see her grow and mature as the books go on.

And I will say that I liked Chaol from the very beginning and is easily my favorite character from the book, as well as Fleetfoot.

Gripes:
The only thing that I really had an issue with as I listened along with the audiobook was that I wished the switch in perspective had been better? Some times we would switch mid chapter or midpage and if I hadn't been properly paying attention then I would be lost as to whose head we were in all of the sudden.

The romance(s):
I’m just waiting for

Spoiler

Rowan

to come in. I rolled my eyes at anything that “happened” between Calaena & Dorian or Calaena & Chaol. But if I wasn’t aware of a certain someone, I would be team CalaenaxChaol
