I’m about to DNF this book. Idk what happened here bc the previous books were enjoyable but not only is Bruce unlikable and her motivations coming off as immature, the summarizing of the lore is becoming a real pet-peeve. I’m only here for any context I may or may not need for ACOSH, though this book is also on thin ice. The SJM fatigue is getting real 😒

Idk if I’m having SJM fatigue or if this is just a really bad book 😂

I knew it was going to be lore heavy which I was looking forward to, but the way in which we’re presented with said lore is just… really bad 💀

This is painful to read…

There’s a very strong chance I’ll DNF this book. I can’t say I’m excited to read about a husband who can’t tell the difference between his wife and a stranger. I’m not entirely sure that’s the twist though, and I enjoy being proven right.

Apparently I’m supposed to read this at the same time as Empire of Storms. Whoops

Lol is this YA?

It’s fine but if there’s no romance I might drop it. I’m not *that* invested in this girl.

Still in reading limbo but I’m invested in learning Sam and Celaena’s story.

Imagine this new guy is the actual love interest and not the two guys I’m somewhat invested in. People kept saying SJM takes three books to get to the love interest, so my trust issues are high.

What a terrible assassin honestly

Starting over 🫣

lol I know I have a problem when I am rereading/replaying so many passages and yet still speeding through this book. It’s been too long since I’ve been this addicted to the story.

The middle doesn’t have me as hooked as the beginning but I’m still loving every page. Just need the ending to take me home!

Apparently I’m in my romantasy audiobook era

It’s getting better. I’m slowly getting used to the villains being campy. Could just be her style or given how gory and violent the book is, perhaps it was advised not to make the characters too disturbingly vicious.

I thought Jack was a cartoonish villain but I was clearly proven wrong. This next character is bordering on the unrealistic with the all interference that is so blatantly focused on one person vs the entire campus.

The possessiveness is so perfect!

lol why do these dragons keep getting bigger and bigger? She’s messing up my dragon scale!
