This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, peaking with happiness and heartbreak. Celaena is finally in a place where she is happy, she has friends, can help people and her freedom is within her grasp. But there was darkness dwelling within the castle, and this darkness was calling her name, sucking her into its grasps and overturning everything she had worked for.
This book was truly a tale of heartbreak, and it pushed Celaena to her limits, she lost people, was deceived and was exposed to the truths of her past.
I love this book and this is mainly for the last chapter, after Chaol finds out why the date Celaena whispered to him that day on the docks was important. When he finds out who she is, and who she is to become.
Again, there is so much in these books which I missed the first time reading it, I dont know why but I kept thinking the she didn't know about her powers or remembered them...
I know some people struggle getting past these two books, but honestly they are so worth it the second time around and seeing the character development and the little hints to the future books.
