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 now get the hype on this one. This book was super fast paced and extremely easy to devour. Celeana is a real warrior. I like her because she's definitely able to kill you but she also has a very soft side that's like any other female. She doesn't have to be this rough and tough character in order to prove her point. I love the friendships formed in this book as well and I didn't mind the romance that of course had to be inserted otherwise this wouldn't be YA Fantasy. My only disappointment was ...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 happen to love the fact she can train as hard if not harder then the men in the champion competition and kick most of their buttons and yet away from training she is this soft 18 year old girl ...more

This book felt more like a 4 for the larger half of it, but I feel like it probably deserves a 3 at best for seriously lacking in plot and storytelling. The appeal of the Battle Royale-like scenario is in tension from being targeted by so many individuals at once and in these individuals being developed characters to know about (or want to know about) and yet be forced to kill them.

I couldn’t tell you a single thing about Celaena’s foes and since she makes her way quite effortlessly through var ...more

More of a 3.5 but I decided to round up. It took me a bit to get into the character of Celaena, but once the story got started I was hooked. I don't think it's the most original story, but it's well written, and the mystery element is well done. The plot moved smoothly, allowing the characters to develop and grow, making me more attached to them.

I am incredibly interested in this world and the politics of it. Maas gives just enough to keep me curious and dying to know more about how the kingdoms ...more
