[ Contains NO spoilers for this book or the rest of the series ] This book started out SO. SLOW. It took me eight days to read it, because half the time I couldn't be bothered to pick it up. That is, until page 200 or so, when things suddenly started picking up pace very, very quickly. I read the last 220 pages within two days. Although others have said that this book was better than the first book, I have to disagree because of those first 200 pages. The last half was definitely amazing and thrilling and everything I could possibly wish for in a book. Sarah J. Maas does not shy away from killing characters and that is brilliant, but also scary because it keeps the reader on their toes. I LOVE the characters in this series. It is sometimes hard to write characters you love having fights, because it's hard to imagine them disagreeing as you love them both and want them to have good opinions. Sarah J. Maas manages to have her characters fight and disagree and make mistakes, but still have me feeling torn between what is the right thing and whom I should be siding with. There is no doubt in my mind that she is an amazing author and I admire her greatly. The ending of this book slammed me in the face and I can't wait to read the next book! So many things were suddenly revealed and at the same time only created more mysteries. I'm so excited to see how everything is resolved, but seeing as there are four more books, I have a feeling I'll have to carry my curiosity around for quite some time... This book is thrilling, exciting, fresh, and action-packed! I would recommend this series to anyone who does not shy away from gore and violence and loves a good fantasy book!
