Throne of Glass

Celaena is arrogant and a little dumb, but significantly more enjoyable to read about than Feyre. I liked Nehemia a lot (and I thought she had much better chemistry with her than with both Chaol and Dorian combined). In fact, I'm not entirely convinced they weren't developing feelings for each other. Speaking of feelings, I don't really like love triangles, so Chaol and Dorian fluctuated between annoying and tolerable, but they did improve as the book went on.

Nearly everybody else was kinda meh. Nox seems cool. Cain was whatever. Perrington is a creep. Kaltain is a bitch, but she's being taken advantage of in all the worst ways (she didn't deserve her ending imo and I hope that at some point she gets her revenge on Perrington). The Queen is whatever. And so on and so forth.

I do like the King. He's a terrible person but a fascinating character. Definitely want to see what happens with him and why he is the way he is. 

All in all, if you, like me, hated ACOTAR but wanted to see what all the SJM hype is about, give this a shot. It is a little juvenile/YA, but has enough dark adult themes to keep me intrigued.
