this was one of the most epic, beautiful, heart wrenching, mind blowing, suspenseful and amazing books I have read in a long time. 
 I love the fact that the characters in this series aren't perfect and make mistakes/errors in judgement - I'm tired of reading about unrealistic, perfect characters (especially male characters) who never do anything wrong and only care about the girl they're "chasing". 
 also, I found Dorian a tad dull in the first book, but he really developed so much in this book and has become such a complex and interesting character to read about. 
 celaena is still my favourite though, obvs ;) 
 cannot wait to read the next book! 
 also I still ship chaolena 
 ps: I KNEW IT I KNEW IT I KNEW IT
