I am giving this book 4.5/5 stars!
In this book, we meet multiple new people, more answers are given, and more questions are left unanswered. I think this is the book where things really start to go down and get interesting. It's a turning point, not just for the characters, but for the story as a whole. Even the feel of the book is different. As I was reading, I felt like Chaol and Dorian's point of view was providing a slice of the past books, Manon's point of view was providing a slice of the future and where the series is heading, and Celaena's point of view was providing the transition from past to future.
I really like Manon, more than I had anticipated. She brings something good to the table and the story and I can't wait to see how she continues to develop as a character. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that she plays a bigger role in Celaena's story later on!
I teared up a few times because OOOHHH MYYYY GOODNESS I am speechless with how the story ended for each point of view. I love the last chapters in Celaena's pov, I love the last chapters in Chaol and Dorian's pov, and I love the last chapters in Manon's pov. Continuing the series is a must for me. LET'S SEE CELAENA BECOME MORE BADA** AND GROW AS A CHARACTER!
Cause let me tell you, the character development with her was fantastic. I am here for it. \

Synopsis:
Celaena Sardothien, heroine of the New York Times bestselling series, rises from the ashes to burn even brighter than before.

Now, she must travel to a new land to confront her darkest truth…a truth about her heritage that could change her life-and her future-forever. Meanwhile, brutal and monstrous forces are gathering on the horizon, intent on enslaving her world. Will Celaena find the strength to not only fight her inner demons, but to take on the evil that is about to be unleashed?
In this USA Today bestselling third book in the New York Times bestselling series, Sarah J.
