This one is hard. I really liked parts of this book and really disliked other parts. 
 The problem stems from the fact that Celaena is separated from Dorian and Chaol for the entire book, which means that their story lines are now going in completely different directions. And I just couldn't stand the POV change anymore. Honestly, I just don't care about Chaol or Dorian and his new love interest Sorcha. I just wanted to read about Celaena and her new instructor/friend/ally Rowan. 
 So you know what I did? I skimmed a lot of this book. I skimmed through Chaol's internal conflict and Dorian's puppy love and the book was so much more enjoyable for it. 
 Also don't get me started on the POV of the witch Manon. I REALLY don't care about her. So boring. Skip skip skip. 
 But Celaena's parts? Wow were they awesome. Here's hoping that the next book focuses more on her and less on the rest of them. But I have to admit, I am so hoping that Celaena and Chaol will never be together again, but I'm sure its probably endgame. Too bad.
