Love it when a series get better in the second book, I absolutely love the story that is developing and cannot wait to read the next one. The characters are great and the relationships dynamic.

I love love love the new magical aspect, it is very good and interesting!

Such a good reveal, although the person realising the reveal takes faaaaaar too long!! I was so excited to read the last few pages.

I cannot wait to read the next book and I'm so glad I don't have to wait for releases.

My only negative comment would be around Celeana's fighting technique which is one minute flawless and the next minute pretty all over the place.

I love this series, I think the world that has been created is brilliant. I thoroughly enjoy the every growing stories and magical elements. I really feel immersed with this story.

The reason for the low rating is I think the could have been 200 odd pages shorter, I found the first 300 pages quite dull. I really dislike the language used as the voice of Rowan - so cliche, get me a bucket! When there were large sections of this story I did struggle to go, very glad that Manon was introduced. I'm also perhaps a little harsh as I was a Celaena an Chaol fan.

I will definitely be reading the next book after that ending and all the possibilities.

"I think I can live without you, but it won't be any kind of life"

I am not a patient kinda person. As much as I really loved the whole back and forwardness,and as much as I know it was very much needed as it was a giant part of the story, I found myself wanting to know what would happen noooow! I hated Neal at the beginning of this book I thought he was a giant self centered you know what. By the end of this book I love him, and I now how reading their story made me come to that conclusion.I disliked Georgie too more often than not,but at the end I loved her. Thought provoking and just wonderful, yet another magical book from Rainbow Rowell.

Beautifully Twisted Plot

Magic on Another Level

This is an off shoot of The Sorcer to the Crown and although I was worried I was surprised by how well the tale was woven. This novel stands on it's own as a magical work and I was unable to put it down for even a moment. I finished the book within two days and was eager to find other writings by this author. They have a way with their words elegantly weaving their complex story in a way that made everything easy to understand. I adored everything about this story and every time I thought I had figured out the plot another twist would be thrown into the mix that kept the mystery alive.
