YES YES YES THIS BOOK. YES. 
 I've been on a YA binge lately and this has exceeded my expectations. Absolutely phenomenal. Maas stepped up the pace in this book - Throne of Glass was already amazing, but CoM was absolutely impeccable. Her writing is creative, enthralling and mesmerizing. It's complex, emotional, an absolutely phenomenal ride. I'd recommend this book a thousand times over. 
 I will admit, I started to feel a little uneasy because it seemed like it was going to be heading down the typical YA fic route, but WHOA was I wrong. My main concern was that Celaena wasn't going to live up to what had been implied on the dust jackets. She is everything and more - Celaena is a badass, and her rage and passion is something that I deeply admire in her character. The ending left me screaming internally. This book was a roller coaster of emotions: I felt anger, anguish, heartbreak, fear, and fury. Simply put - this was a fantastic book.
