y/a fantasy is my ultimate comfort. there's no better feeling than tearing through the pages because i need to know what's happened, forgetting the entirety of my surroundings (took me an hour to eat the dinner sat in front of me), lip torn to pieces because I couldn't read fast enough.

the way everything unravels in this book is wonderful. it's paced just right, and is much easier to slip into than the first as the world is already established. It toes the line between devastating and thrilling in the best way. i can't wait to read the rest of the series, and the rest of Maas' work.

recommended by a friend, i really wanted to love this but it just fell short. i don't know if it was because it was the first time i've read a graphic novel digitally, but it just wasn't everything I wanted it to be.

The pacing of the story was odd - it felt like nothing was happening for 75% of the story and then everything kind of happened. It also felt like you were supposed to have more of an emotional connection with the characters than you actually could, and so the 'emotional' moments just fell a bit flat. and then just in time for the end, everything wrapped in a silver bow in an awkward and clunky way.
