 Better than "Throne of Glass" by far. I found the plot to be much more compelling and I felt that Celeana grew in maturity a lot. And a lot of the other characters got so much good character development as well. I fell more in love with Chaol and him and Clean together....just yes. 
 The ending was great with the plot twist, wow! Can't wait to see how the series progressess.
