WHAT IN GODS NAME WAS THAT?!? Emotionally destructive content that's what it was. 
 Sarah J Maas has quickly become an honourable and favourite author of mine. Let's forget about the fact that her characters are always so well developed and frighteningly relatable but look at her style of writing. Seriously, who else can pull off multiple perspectives and still have a highly descriptive, compelling and kick-ass novel THAT FLOWS? The new characters we meet in this book attacked my heart in every possible way. 
 Rowan: The cool, shape shifting eagle fairy, without a doubt is my favourite character (after Chaol of course but still it's a close tie). I'll be the first to admit that yes, he annoyed me and made me want to punch a wall at times but his character development was such a highlight for me in this book. His past conflicts and his endurance in life brought such a bittersweet ambience. Long story short - Rowan deserves endless happiness and a punch in the arm for being such an asshole in the first few chapters and then attacking me with CUTE, CARING MOMENTS BYE ROWAN BYE. 
 Celaena: The assassins of all bad ass female assassins (WHO ALSO HAS ANOTHER ALIAS BUT THATS ANOTHER STORY AND IM STILL TRYING TO RECOVER FROM THE SHOCK LIKE WOW OKAY). Ultimately she surprised me, I went into this book predicting the absolute worst for her character. I expected nothing but complaining and emotional exhaustion (which she did for the first few chapters) BUT as she learnt, and developed skills SHE EVOLVED into her true role and I'm just really proud of her. I feel like a mother, my baby is leaving the nest. (Also, treat Rowan well BECAUSE YOU BOTH CAN SUPPORT EACH OTHER AND FIND PEACE OKAY ILY). 
 Dorian: DEVELOPED SO MUCH I CAN'T. I'm still so flabbergasted at what he said, what he did, HOLY CRAP IS THAT EVEN YOU DORIAN? My heart bloody aches for the predicament he was in and NO he didn't deserve what happened, OKAY HE DIDN'T DESERVE THAT. I just hope he's okay and escapes the darkness HE HAS TO, BLOODY HELL HE. HAS. TO. 
 CHAOL: oh chaol, you beautiful heartbreaker you. His heartbreak destroyed my heart. Whilst he is my ultimate bias in this series, I couldn't help but applaud and commend the reality check he faced with Dorian and Celaena AND IM GLAD HE FINALLY PICKED A SIDE (THE RIGHT SIDE TOO LIKE THANK THE GODS). I just hope that he finds solace and HAPPINESS, and I just really want him to be okay, okay. 
 Other characters like Aedion (who kills me with his sarcasm and good intentions) and Sorscha (who was so damn relatable I CANT) should also be mentioned because YES YES YES. 
 From beginning to end, I WAS HOOKED AND I JUST REALLY ENJOYED IT AND I DIED AND JUST READ IT OKAY.
