Seven years ago, I couldn't get past the first few chapters of Throne of Glass. Celaena's arrogance and vanity put me off completely. I couldn't stand her.

But after finishing ACOTAR, I need more Sarah J. Maas so picked up the book again. Celaena still grated on me at first, but she grew on me.

The first quarter of the book felt like a really slow start. I wasn't enjoying the characters or understanding much of the world they were in. By the time Celaena arrive's at the castle, I was starting the enjoy the read.

The part with Celaena going to the Ball gave some strong Cinderella vibes. Her sparkling gown sounded as gorgeous as Feyre's Starfall gown.

For an author's very first published book, I thought it was fantastic. There is no way I could ever write this well. By the end, I really enjoyed being immersed in their world and I'm looking forward to Crown of Midnight.
