this book just made everything so deep. the book shows us more of celaena before the salt mines and it just make us want to pity her even more. i love how we meet Arobynn and see him instead of hearing about him. by the end of the book celaena has already changed into someone with more depth and someone who understands everything. in the end we really do hate Arobynn so much. the plot in the book was really good, spread throughout the 5 stories and the character building was fabulous and added so much to celaena's character.
