It took a while for the plot of the book to develop, as it only got really interesting towards the last 100 pages, but I loved the writing style of the author. That itself has piqued my interest in her highly successful series, Throne of Glass. Not being the biggest lover of fantasy this book was a good introduction to the genre. The love story was a little predictable at times and slightly reminiscent of Twilight in certain instances. That said, I am looking forward to tackling the next book in the series so the shortfalls weren't enough to put me off entirely. Excited to see what happens next!
