SJM really did a number on me with this one! Every time I had to put the book down to do stupid things like eat, sleep, and school I couldn’t help but long for Celaena’s world. The characters are so lovable and the world is so intricate. Endovier, Eyllwe, Adarlan, and a literal castle made of glass!! Not to mention this deep love I have for Nehemia; she’s beautiful, strong, intelligent. Princess Nehemia is the type of princess that I would want to be. Elena; yeah, she’s the type of queen I’d want to be. And since we’re still on the topic of badass women...CELAENA FREAKING SARDOTHIEN!! The very fact that men (and when I say men I mean a Captain of the Guard, Crown Prince, and King!!) fear her makes me want to BE her. That’s a high that I wanna get off on. And how many times can my heart take this “falling in love with two gorgeous and lovable men” thing??!! I feel like I’m watching TVD all over again. Is it Damon or Stefan? Is it Chaol or Dorian? Although I could easily choose Stefan over Damon (sorry Damon girls haha 😅), I find it so difficult to choose between the charming prince and kind Captain of the Guard. 

I’m so excited to learn more about this world, and I’m hoping soon because I endanger myself with spoilers every time I go on Pinterest and Instagram. I guess my phone knows how in love I am with the worlds that Sarah has created!
