¡Me encantó este libro! Hace tiempo que buscaba una saga que me atrapara y ¡boom! La encontré <3
Me encantó el mundo creado por Maas y los personajes (cosa que uno no siempre puede decir)
No puedo esperar por saber cómo continúa la historia. Se merece realmente las cinco estrellitas

*Edito* recién me di cuenta de que es una saga y no una trilogía

4/5 stars.
I really like this book. It was fast-paced, exciting, and the storyline never bored me.

One of my two problems with this book:

Celaena Sardothien.

This so-called assassin wasn't as kick-ass as I expected her to be. In fact, she was very un-kickass.

She was less of this:

and more of this:

My god Celaena was so girly, so prissy, and so whiny the only thing that made me believe she was an assassin was because everyone in the book constantly reminded each other that she was an assassin. This ...more

Well, I am hooked. The storyline is captivating like a television show where you don’t really like the characters but want to know what happens to them. It’s an interesting storyworld, and I want to know where Maas goes with it. Also, I want to know who this chick ends up with...
So, overall, a 3.5 I had to round to 4.

Team Dorian.

I love him.

I adore him.

I want to marry him.

How is the insufferable Chaol even an option? Ew.

LOVE this book. I love the setting, the action, the mystery, the characters....I could go on.

Celeanna is absolutely amazing. She's so awesome! When you read this, you just want to be her. You imagine yourself living her story. Awesome
Dorean....sorry to those who love him, but I just can't seem to like him. I think he definitely loves her, but I know she doesn't feel the same way.
Chaol, on the other hand, I love. ^-^ And neither of them realize it yet, but that's love. <3
Nehemia is like a myst ...more

I've been in a reading slump which is why it's taken so long for me to finish this, but I really did enjoy this book. Something very different :) ...more
