Hello? Sarah? quick question.... 
 why! 
 This book has kind of completely ruined me. 
 After reading all of the Throne of Glass books, there was no way I couldn't continue on Celaena's journey to freedom, I pre-ordered my 700 page book, avoided tumblr and sat next to my mail box in anticipation. 
 The book was intriguing from the get go, and the reader knew as much about what was going on as the characters. Maas has risen to a new level of amazing, crafting the characters feelings, reactions and emotions in an exquisite and truthful way. 
 Relationships were a huge part of the book, and it was good to see all my favourites grow and change together. The emotions and feelings felt real and pure, which allowed the relationships to feel authentic to the reader. Not only did we experience new romantic relationships but friendships were strengthened and family relations were solidified. It was refreshing that it wasn't entirely focused on romantics, but growing and developing as individuals to become better as a united team. 
 The magic was an even bigger part of the book, with our characters (view spoiler)[*cough* Dorian (hide spoiler)] exploring and learning the limits of their magic. The new characters that were introduced as leads gave us a new perspective on the types of magic and the way it can be used(view spoiler)[I'm looking at you Lorcan (hide spoiler)]. 
 There was also a lot more movement around the continent in the book, which allowed us to fully explore the world and understand country relations. 
 BEWARE. THIS BOOK WILL CHANGE YOUR OPINIONS OF NEARLY EVERYONE. 
 just to let you know. The re-introduced characters have grown and changed as much as Celaena and her cohort, which presents us with a strong united front of young adults. Characters that are much loved also reveal their true intentions which creates turmoil for the group - so prepare yourself. 
 All together, this is an amazing continuation of the series, full of beautiful quotes, charming characters and newly discovered trouble. It was an extremely enjoyable read that may or may not leave you completely broken and angry at Sarah J Maas.
