Holy crap. 
Somehow the worldbuilding wasn’t as in-your-face as I was told to expect. In fact, I think it was beautiful and well done, even if there was minor infodumping. But the characters and the world they inhabit is so damn vivid. The relationships are believable and real, the subplots prove to be just as vital in future books as the main plot was in this one, and I am aching for more of all of it. To be fair, I saw the revelation about Bruce coming early on in the book, so I wasn’t surprised in the least, but the payoff was still incredibly satisfying. 
I truly love the main characters, and am so invested in this world. I love it, I love it, I love it. Maas’ best, in my opinion.
