I did not find this book as captivating as the first. It was still enjoyable.

I loved this book. It kept me captivated from start to finish. I loved the characters and the slow-burn. The ending was unexpected. I understand where the author was going with it and I’m excited to see what happens next.
The only reason I gave it 4 stars is because I felt like we never really got any answers to anything. There was a lot of “I will tell you” but then something prevents it from happening.

This was a fun but average read. I didn’t particularly like the Insta-love, but it was kind of cute at the same time.

I found this book to be very dull. I can see why it’s well-loved, but I just did not love it. That “twist” was so obvious that when it got revealed, I was just like “yeah…omg. Like I didn’t know that already.” I don’t know if it’s worth it to keep going with the series. I just have not been captivated by the two I’ve read so far.

This book blew my mind. There were so many moments where I was in shock from what I had just read. I had to close the book and stare at it for a few minutes to calm myself down. The character development was amazing, especially Tinnstra. I just loved almost every second of it.
The only criticism I have is that everything seemed to come too easy for Zorique. She always seemed to have new powers that could easily defeat the enemy, and she always did the same thing to them. It made her battle scenes kind of boring to read. Way too repetitive for my liking.

I found this book a struggle to get through until about halfway. It’s very much a tell but not show kind of story. I would have liked to have seen the trials instead of just hearing about them in passing.
Celaena is still kind of insufferable, but I liked her a little better by the end.

This book just throws you right into the action, but doesn’t explain anything that is going on, or why. And even then, the writing felt dry as if I was reading a textbook.
I also didn’t like the characters we met.
