I enjoyed this book very much.
I did Latin and Greek in highschool, so I know my fair share of Greek mythology, but I still learned quite a lot of new myths or details.
I mostly enjoyed Stephen Fry’s humorous take on these myths. I laughed (or chuckled) a lot!

I liked this book and the story very much.
I’m not sure I liked Celaena though. For an assassin who spent a year as a slave she was kind of a spoilt brat when she arrived in the castle.
I was intrigued by the magic of the world Erilea and I hope it’s gonna get more attention in the following books. I’m curious how the story is going to develop.

I liked the story of this book even better than the first one!
In this story Celaena truly was an assassin and I loved it.
I also liked how the magic played a much bigger part.
The story had a lot of “plottwists”, but I had predicted almost all of them. But that didn’t do anything about the fact that I really liked them.

THAT ENDING. That was wild. I mean, I had my suspicions, but it wasn’t as I thought it would be.
I like it though.

This book was really good. I enjoyed the story very much.
But Ember... I still don’t know what to think of her. I mean, she’s the WORST dragon ever. But maybe I also kinda like her human sides? I don’t know.

I am VERY curious about the following books and how the story is going to develop.

OH MY GOD I LOVED THIS BOOK SO MUCH!
I laughed and I cried and I cheered and I was angry.
I liked how there were POV’s of a lot of characters.
Aside from Celaena, I especially liked Manon.

I am VERY curious about the next books!!

I am loving this series so much!
With the third & fourth book I am really feeling like I’m IN the world SJM has created. I love the characters and I was constantly hoping they wouldn’t die.

I am also still hoping Manon & her Thirteen are going to get together with Aelin’s court. I adore Manon and Asterin.

I really liked the writing style, the poetic sentences and structures and the lyric descriptions. But because it’s almost poetry, it doesn’t read very fluently.

I liked the story, the dystopian world, I liked most of the characters. I still don’t know if I trust Adam though

The Elder Wyrm was even more evil than I already thougt... what she was going to do, that’s like the worst thing you could do to someone.
I liked the story of this book. You can notice it’s all going somewhere, and I’m very curious what it’s going to be.

The only thing that still bums me out, is that stupid love triangle that is STILL going on...

Although it was kinda predictable, I still enjoyed it.

This wasn’t the best series ever, but it read fluently and I enjoyed myself and the story.

Wauw.
Sprakeloos.
Ongelooflijk hoe Ish met amper 108 ieniemienie bladzijden zo’n diepgaand verhaal kan brengen en zo kan ontroeren.
