Not sure why I gave this 3 stars back in 2013? I'm upping it to a good 4 stars. The beginning was slow and it took some time for the plot to really get moving, but the novel did a good job at developing the world-building and touching on points that were left a bit vague in the previous novel. The plot felt more solid this time around, like it had a direction, and worked to set up and establish points that are going to stretch across the other novels.

Brilliant! Loved it.

Plot was great, some things I saw coming but Maas writes in such a way that it was exciting and intriguing anyway. The characters are well written.
