*deep exhale and drop head back* 
 Why....Why...Why did I start another Sarah J. Maas series that isn't done being published?! I do this to myself! I just know I'm gonna be hungover after marathoning the books that are out and then be left empty until like 2019. 
 I love LOVE LOVEEEEE how sassy Celaena is! Her dialogue with everyone is amazing but especially with Chaol and Dorian. I adored her friendship with Nehemiah and their bond. The magic element was quite subtle and more paranormal than what I was expecting after reading ACOTAR but I enjoyed it none the less. The betrayal at the end surprised me even though I kinda hated the girl but felt bad for her too. 
 Reading the Assassin's Blade really helped me digest the whole book since I already knew Celaena and how she got to who and where she was. That allowed me to focus more on the creation and development of this new part of the world and the new characters. I kind of wanted there to be more information or something about the warriors as they or right before they were being killed. Their murders are just kind of talked over and used to move the plot along. 
 Really excited to read the next book! (and finally meet Rowan. Everyone talks about the dude and I kept waiting for him to show up but I got to the end and he still wasn't there! lol)
