 Dear authors of the world I think it's time for an intervention. It's just... I really think the love triangles need to stop, and go away, for a long time. Look, I'm not saying that they never work, but it really is just getting to be a bit too much, ok? 
 In all seriousness, this was probably about a 3.5 star read for me, but it could have been a full 4 stars if not for the love triangle nonsense. Admittedly, love triangles are a pet peeve of mine, but I honestly think that it didn't work here. (view spoiler)[Celaena's attraction to/relationship with Dorian seemed forced and sometimes awkward. It just... I didn't care for it. Even if he had been the only potential love interest, I think it might have still been a stretch. As a contrast, I felt like the attraction between her and Chaol came about more naturally. I was/am definitely rooting for him, but she'll probably end up with the prince anyway. (hide spoiler)]
