Personal opinion on the book:
This book was absolutely amazing! I think that I liked this book WAY better than the second one, and I absolutely adored the second book!
Once again, this book left me mentally and physically hurt! I just couldn't deal with all of the amazing story lines and POV's going on at once.
Above is a video of me when I finished this book...
Let's start at the beginning: At first, I was thinking that this book was going to be based wholly around Celaena feeling bad for herself, but she is one frickin' tough cookie and toughened up and kicked some serious ASS! I LOVED the fact that she learnt how to use her fae powers, and she is just SO powerful! She is going to be the BEST queen, she will be fierce, powerful, kind and fair. When she was larning to use her fae powers with Rowan, I just loved the way that Celaena and him work so well together. And at the end of the book when Celaena proves herself to the fae queen and kicks ass and frees Rowan and Rowan become her blood-oath, I just CAN'T EVEN!
The next character is Celaena's cousin Aedion, he is just the most lovely, amazing and LOYAL person EVER! Enough said, I just LOVE him.
Since I didn't really like these two as much in this book I will put them together, Dorien and Choal, lets just say that I feel bad for Dorien and his sacrifice he made at the end of the book has my heart breaking and makes me want to read more!!! And Choal is just kinda ehhh, he didn't really do that much, all I know is that I DO NOT like him and Celaena together at the moment.... I will probs like him again later, but the the moment, just don't even look at me Choal!
And I just HAD to save the best till last! Manon!!!! She is my FAVOURITE character (alongside Celaena and Rowan!). Manon is the most kick-ass witch and I loved her loyalty to her... dragon? She is amaze-balls and I will leave my fan girling there...
Overall, this book was truly INCREDIBLE and I am so happy with it!

If you like... then try...:
If you enjoyed reading the Throne of Glass series I HIGHLY recommend reading Graceling by Kristin Cashore. I read Graceling right before I started the Throne of Glass series, and lets just say that both of these female assassin's are absolutely kick-ass! In both of these books you really get to witness amazing character development and you are always on the edge of your set! Make sure to check this book out!

I actually DNF'ed Heir of Fire...idk, I didn't enjoy Crown of Midnight either -cries-
ReplyDeleteBut I totally agree about the if you liked Throne of Glass series, read Graceling! I know I LOVED Graceling, and I loved (at least) Throne of Glass! :)
I agree about these books being written at slightly different standards. I found that while I LOVED book 1 & 3, book 2 just wasn't written as well. I have book 4 sitting on top of my TBR list, but I am a little scared to pick it up and read it...
DeleteGraceling was fantastic! Have you read the other books in the series? Because I really want to, but I haven't heard that much about them yet...
