Andrew Garfield gives a great performance as Desmond, and his story is truly an intriguing one. The second half of the film during the actual war was very well done, it seemed very realistic and graphic without being too ott gory. And the documentary footage at the end of the real Desmond Does nearly had me in tears.
The main problem is this film has been Hollywood-ised, with over the top and out of place acting from some actors (my other half pointed this out early on and it was something I couldn't then unsee!) to irritating slow motion and patchy CGI. If they could just tell the real story without embellishing, it'd be so much better.

The pacing is fantastic!! I had a hard time stepping away from the book to do real life things. The prose is also amazing!
I loved Celaena's sarcasm the most. I found myself laughing out loud at some of her remarks. I found her to be a very good character =) She was definitely a well-formed character and wasn't some meek little girl.
I also loved Dorian and Choal. I won't say too much because of spoilers, but they were fantastic!!
All of the characters were well-rounded and felt real.
Do NOT give this book a miss. It is definitely a book you will want to read =)
