I don't really get how this was much better. Like, I just don't? Is it just me? I felt like this was a much slower read than all the Maas books I've read. I think that's really her style of writing-slow but with a collective progress. But with Crown of Midnight I was almost bored at some parts. Which is really an alarming thing to feel because I haven't had these problems with her other books. 
 But despite this, I was impressed with the character development. Oh boy, the character development! I think I am growing to love Celaena already, even Dorian! But of course my baby Chaol is still my favorite. Even for what he did. 
 I'M GOING IN WITH SPOILERS! 
 (view spoiler)[ 
 *NEHEMIA DYING. Why. Sarah, why? I mean, I wasn't really that invested in her character and I was actually thinking that her character is easily negligible since half the time she's not really there and shit. BUT WHY DID YOU KILL HER OFF. It was nice to think that Celaena had someone. A girlfriend. You really had to take that away from her, huh? My heart grieved, I must tell you. 
 *CELAENA AND CHAOL HAPPENING. Because owyezzz. I am sooo happy about this. I was half drunk on their love but of course, bane of my existence, it has to end so soon. Because Chaol, oh my Chaol, I love you but really?! As if you don't know Celeana...she can take care of herself!! She can even take care for both of your assess. Ugh. I was so disappointed with him. I get his super over-the-moon code of honor for the king. BUT DAMN IT CHAOL. Now you got your ass in a downright heap. And just ugh. Face the wall, I'm so disappointed with you. 
 *DORIAN'S POWER. Oh. My. Gahd. Say what?! Can you even think of a more rebellious notion? His father the king banned magic and here is Dorian prancing about with raw magic. HAHAHAHA. I still don't like him for Celaena though. Begone Dorian.

 I was kind of surprised that I finished this book in less than five days. What stopped me from giving this a 3 of 5 rating was the fact that I was kind of excited with all those little twists in the book and I certainly enjoyed that. I am so excited for Heir of Fire! Shit is about to go down!!!! And oh god, now I'm kind of iffy with this Chaol and Celaena thing going on. :/ I mean, I love Chaol but-just-gahd. Okay, okay. I'm gonna stop talking about Chaol. Haha. 
 I want to inquire to you guys, should I actually read The Assassin's Blade now, or should I put it off until I finish Empire of Storms and I'm all caught up with the series? PLEASE HELPPPPP!
