I could see my rating go up to a 5 or anywhere in between. I really enjoyed this book, I just didn’t want to pick it up until 1am. A slow read but I still enjoyed the whole ride. Maybe I wish it was a little tighter, but I cannot get past the fact that she was a TEENAGER when she wrote this. Like what?! Im so excited for the rest of the series. I love Celaena. I love Chaol. I dig Dorian. I love that Phillipa has Alis vibes, and if you know me, you know I love Alis.

I am very glad strangers on the internet bullied me into reading Assassin’s Blade first.

Celaena is like a lovable Villanelle and I can’t wait to learn more about her past and destiny.
