Okayyyyy this is giving the Hunger Games meets Knives Out but set in a gothic castle and I’m eating this uppppp. Imagine Katniss but dropped in fantasy world of court politics and magic simmering beneath it all. Welcome to Throne of Glass.

I’m struggling to reconcile the way Celaena is described vs how she acts. We’re constantly told she’s this legendary assassin, but her personality, inner thoughts, and behavior don’t always match that image. She often feels more like a fashionable, sarcastic teenager than someone with a dark, deadly past. It’s not that she can’t be multi-faced, but the pieces aren’t clicking.
