This is my second time reading it, I want to continue on with this series, I have only read the first 3 books, rereading this made me realize how much I have loved and miss it, I also noticed some similarities between this and ACOTAR.
The premise is what intrigued me to pick this up the first time, and it was executed perfectly, I loved rereading so much and it reminded me of how much I adored it.

Celaena is a fascinating character, and she had been through so much, which is what made her seem insensitive and savage, despite that she still shows her joyful and caring side which is wonderful to see. I personally think this book is a great first book and it set the rest of the series quite beautifully, it gave an excellent impact.

During my first time reading this I overlooked what a man-whore Dorian is, I like him with Celaena so maybe that is part of the reason, uhh I usually dislike any character that is written like that so I don't know why I didn't notice it much, all though he is a decent guy despite looking at every woman that came close to him. And he does have the potentials to be a much better king than his father, I can not fathom how different Dorian is from his horrible father, his father literally is the worst, and there is Dorian and he is so sweet. I noticed Celaena sharing personal stuff about her past to Dorian and she doesn't seem to realize till the words are already out of her mouth which leads me to believe she trust him, and when Chaol asks her about anything she tries to dodge his questions.
Chaol he was mean and tough on Celaena till the end of this book, I enjoyed them teasing each other a lot, I understand how low he thinks of her, and that she kills anyone without remorse, by the end he starts to understand a bit the cause of her actions, I have LOVED when he subconsciously took the sword and killed Cain with it, that scene made me like him more.

There weren't much world-building in this one based on the fact that magic vanished like 10 years ago, but I did like the things that we got, it fits with the story, I enjoyed seeing Celaena figuring out what the symbols mean and how she fought Cain while she had Poison in her system, he almost killed her and she would have died if she didn't had help, but that doesn't make her less of a strong warrior.

There is a big amount of cheating in this book It's problematic, most the book is about St. Clair cheating on his girlfriend . I did enjoy it , I thought that it was entertaining but I had a big problem it.
love is simply if you love someone just tell that person about your feelings and if you're with someone that you don't love that much anymore just tell that person about your feelings then break up cause it isn't fair for either of you.
Anna is a character that I didn't like much but she is okay , St. Clair in the other hand is a character that I loved with his many flaws.

Milk and honey was better.
A majority of the poems I either didn't like that much or wanted to skip. A few that I liked it and stood out to me.

Maybe reading Milk and honey made my expectations high, I kinda felt I was reading the same poems from her previous book, so that why it bores me and took me a long time to finish.
