Plot/ Storyline- this is the second book in the throne of glass series and it continues right where the first one left off, we see Celaena as her badass assassin self- as she's the king's champion and is doing his dirty work, this book is darker and more mysterious than the first one, however, we find that where Celaena was supposed to be assassinating the king's enemies she's helping them escape. character development- Celaena- her development during this book was so amazing, she's finally happy for a brief moment with chaol and then he's taken and you see the true wrath of Celaena and you get a glimpse of her Assassin side, the killer that's hiding in the shadows, but when Nehemia dies, and Celaena is running back to the castle finding her friend dead, she snaps and seeing her truly fall over the edge and watch the darkness consume her she becomes the vicious monster everyone's so afraid of and it's so devastatingly pleasing to see that side of her. Chaol- seeing his development from that closed up Captain of the guard to this loving warm person and his closeness with Celaena was great even though I don't really ship them two. Dorian- had a lot going on in this book, realizing he has magic and trying to keep that under control because he's afraid of what his father might do it was hard to see him going through so many changes emotionally. Writing- the writing was brilliant, the way Celaena was portrayed even though she's a hero it shows that she has a dark lethal side and she's tainted, she's not a pure soldier with a heart of gold and its always so nice to see a change from the typical hero's also this book showed a lot about Celaena's past, that she is part Fae and that she is the lost Princess of Terrasan and the Hier to the throne, though this wasn't as big of a shock to me as I figured it out early on, there were so many clues throughout but the thing that did surprise me was Nehemia's death which still makes me sad. |
