wowwwwwwwwww. 
 WOWWWWWWW. THAT PART THREE. THE QUEEN'S ARROW. 
 IT MAKES SO MUCH SENSE NOW. I'm at a loss for words. 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 Like most fantasy books that I've stumbled upon and continued, the beginning will always be the slowest ascent for me. Don't get me wrong, slow doesn't necessarily correlate to boring . Usually, it just means that it isn't the "HOLY SHIT, SHIT JUST GOT REAL" kind of thing. I don't mind in the least. 
 Anyways, in the beginning, we see Celaena doing the king's bidding - or so it would seem . However, we quickly learn it's not the case and she's helping these people flee . In my head, I obviously cheered for her because come on, team Celaena > team King all day, any day. 
 So, once we learned about Archer, I knew it would be no different. However, in hindsight, all the things pointed at Archer, I wished he had died in the beginning - so nothing, nothing could've harmed Nehemia. /still sobbing 
 So anyways, this continues and we meet Celaena who wants to hit up the library. However, on her way, she meets this thing in the hallway. It freaks out Celaena and we eventually meet it again. And now, it's more deadly than it seems. What IS the king doing - what kind of twisted experiments is he undergoing? I guess all will be revealed with time. 
 Also, there was this mysterious chapter in which we learned about a slave in Callacula. WHAT IN THE WORLD IS THIS ABOUT ?! I need to know Ms. Maas. May I have an adequate answer soon - in the nearest future possible? 
 I'm sorry not sorry for all this jumbled review. My thoughts just roll and my fingers type =O 
 So anyways, the love interest. I am team Chaol all the way however I'm really mixed. My feelings are mixed as to whether they will end up together. I hope so - and what Chaol had done in order for Celaena to be safe. It is truly heartwrenching. 
 The other heartwrenching thing? NEHEMIA'S DEATH. LIKE WTF GRAVE. YOU SICK BASTARD. YOU DESERVED THAT PAINFUL DEATH - and you deserve it even more for pointing it at the wrong direction for CELAENA THOUGH I GUESS I CANNOT BLAME YOU FOR THAT ONE MUCH. 
 So when Nehemia died, my heart just dropped. I - honestly, I really wanted to see more of Nehemia. Although her character doesn't appear as often as Dorian or Chaol, she left such an imprint in my heart. I've loved her as a character and still wish she would be alive. But my dear, dear Nehemia, may you RIP. 
 The third heartwrenching thing I remembered was how Archer singlehandedly killed the trust between Celaena and Chaol. That really - it really hurt. No matter what anyone else says, Celaena x Chaol. At least so far in the books I've read. MY OTP. I can't. I'm done. 
 So, anyways, part I and part II of the book - I read in my leisurely pace. However once part III started, it was like finishing a marathon. Part III was when shit got real. I couldn't put the book down despite finishing another book earlier in the day. (I usually just finish one book a day - never two - no I do not count manga cause they are usually continuations.) So wow, let's just say, finding out these things, yes, some came as a surprise but thinking back, there had been so many hints. If I had reread this book, I'm sure I would've picked up on those things. It's so amazing how things get interwoven intricately in a series. I'm so excited to read more... 
 Especially to find out where the rest of the Wyrdkeys are. Also, how many keys the king has. Where he has them hidden. What does he and Perrington plan for Roland and Kaltain. When would Chaol go back to Anielle? When would Dorian figure out that Celaena was fae. When things would be less secretive for them all since I believe they were fated to be intertwined with each other.

 Truth be told in one line, 
 I'm super excited to continue this series.
