why is it when i finally get a chaol and dorian pov, it’s about how much they love celaena? not once do i read about them in their political roles, and understand who they are outside of her. i don’t understand why we need povs of “oh i want to kiss her” “oh why won’t she look at me.” your subtext should speak for itself.

and stop saying she’s an assassin! she ISN’T.

the assassin smiled. the assassin wondered why dorian blushed. the assassin thought chaol didn’t think her pretty.

it’s getting rather tiresome to not only have celaena referred to as “the assassin” when her name or a pronoun would be fine, it’s the fact that maas focuses on little bits of detail that don’t seem important. spending a page on describing the candy the assassin got? are you serious?

nehemia would plot against you, celaena, bc you’re an idiot.

ugh. why does everyone bu celaena have to be likeable!? why can’t i quit!

the assassin
the captain of the guard
the champion
ardalan’s assassin
the crown prince

you can use their names you know — especially given celaena isn’t much of an assassin

anyway mystery is getting interesting

6 pages managed to infuriate me. they played pool, dorian pulled the old “i’ll show you how to get it in the hole” trick, she was referred to as “the assassin” at least three times, and the pov had to swap to dorian to call her “intelligent”.

my reasons to stick around: i’m halfway through, and i’m curious about the murders. i also like chaol and dorian when they’re not with celaena, and nehemia.

so dorian is jealous of any man who talks to celaena. joke’s on him, he should be jealous of nehemia bc celaena is clearly going to end up with her.

i’m already tired of chaol and dorian always talking about celaena whenever they have a scene.

so a dead queen cake to celeana in a dream to tell her she’s meant to be here and to kill the evil in the castle. let me guess, it’s cain.

i hope dorian/celaena/chaol won’t be a love triangle. if so, chaol and dorian need to pick one another. i’d prefer this to be dorian/nehemia/chaol tbh.

i’m so over being told how lethal and powerful celaena is when all she can care about is her pretty dresses and attending feasts.

“how has she gone from the most feared prisoner in endovier to this sappy mess?”

easy, she was always this sappy mess.

i wish celeana was more believable as one of the country’s most deadliest and feared assassins. i don’t see it.

i still don’t understand how she’s an assassin. but chaol is cool and princess nehemiah is badass af.

“I’m so pretty! I’m so pretty! I’m not pretty in dirt!” Every. chapter. 🙄

Boring. Nothing has happened.

WHAT IS HAPPENING WHY ARE WOLFE AND SANTI THE MOST COMPELLING CHARACTERS WHY DO I LOVE FREDERICK

getting interesting ... Wolfe is impressed by Jess. wtf is gonna happen???

Wolfe is a dick and Khalila reminds me of Hermione, but Jess and Daario and Thomas are great. hard to put down.

loving it! Katsa is hilarious and Po is a great contrast to her.

why is everyone in this book such a shithead?
