This book had a really good idea for a story line. Ultimately I did enjoy it, however i will not be continuing with the series as i think the writing is aimed at a younger audience.

Not quite as good as the immensely popular Sharpe series, but still an enjoyable enough read. Gets a bit bloodier than usual for his books, but then again: it is about a famous battle, after all!

Good building on a world of magic
A good second book in the series that would become my favorite. Jim is still trying a bit in this to find his voice, and the writing will develop more fully in the next couple of books, but still a solid addition to the series. Dresden is a very human and relatable hero, but with a wonderfully crafty mind and hilarious self-depreciating sense of humor.

Well Written Novel
Strong Female Main Character
Start of an amazing series
This book is a little Beauty and the Beast-esque, which makes me love it all the more.
Especially as Belle is my favourite Disney Princess!

The main character is a strong female who overcomes many challenges, she certainly can't be seen as weak or a damsel in distress.

Highly recommend this YA series to anyone that enjoys fantasy, it is possibly a bit graphic for younger readers though.

I don't like Chaol...whoops? (0 more)
Strong second book to the series
This has to be my least favourite book out of the series. I'm not a big fan of Chaol (#Celorian). I found him to be quite irritating and never really liked the dynamic between him and Celaena since Throne of Glass. However, it was a good book! The plot was hectic (it always is with SJM!) and was so addicting, I couldn't put the book down.
