I think this might be my 4th time reading this book. Not the whole series but definitely this book. I really like it. If I didn't love it I guess I wouldn't pick it up every time I feel a reading slump coming on.
I love this book more the second time around and I really REALLY loved it the first time. The characters were what I looked forward to the most. I didn't remember a lot about this book because the first time I read it I think I read it to fast. This time I took my time and really got to ...more

I am reading this book for the 3rd time and I'm more excited to be reading this round then the first 2 times I read it. So many start becoming upset with Celaena because she is more focused on gowns, shoes, sweets and being a true girly girl and not the badass assassin the description says.

I really enjoyed this first book. Its a page turner for me, it was something i kept wanting to read and read. But life sometimes gets in the way. So That's why it took me so long to read this amazing page turner. Can't wait to read more of this series its amazing. Kicking it amazingly awsome!

I don't get it. Why is everyone obsessed with this? It's not good. The writing is mediocre, the plot is....questionable (at best), the characters...What characters? Our main character, Celaena is supposed to be this feared, skilled assassin, and yet she spends almost the entire book sleeping, sometimes she falls asleep in the middle of a conversation. What? If it wasn't for the author to remind me on EVERY SINGLE PAGE that she is an assassin, I wouldn't even known it. None of the skills she is f

I liked listening to this while drawing and walking, even though it was predictable at times and I argued with the book when the main character was guessing the bad guy obviously wrong. Plan to continue the series but there are many many library holds so hopefully I don't lose interest by the time it comes up.

Still intensely entertaining! Even laughed at a few moments. Grossed out even as well! It has the adventure, plot driven and so much more.
