2019: Wow, so many people love this book and series - I definitely had high expectations that were so let down. Our main heroine is a strong and skilled fighter and a smart woman who provides for her family, but the main conflict in this story is that she didn’t say “I Love You” by some arbitrary date and therefore the whole world is thrown into chaos? She needs medical help, so she decides to “sell” herself to a man for two weeks every month? So many moments of this book made me roll my eyes. Also, Maas did a terrible job st the exposition of the prophecy/curse, I was confused for so long. Too many characters introduced too late into the plot for me to care about them.

Basically, I had high hopes and lots of problems with this book.
