I think I fall more in love with this series and it’s characters with every book I read, which is what make s a great series!

I struggled a bit with the beginning of the book because I just wanted everyone to get over themselves and to get on with the story (standard series issues). But wow! Absolutely worth it.

Maas introduces a few new characters in this book:

Manon a Blackbeak Ironteeth witch and heir to her coven. Manon is exactly what she should be, heartless but somehow you still want to love her and have her be one of the badass heroines that Maas writes so well, I hope we get to continue with her story in the next book.

Sorsha, a healer in the castle. She has been the healer looking after Celaena and her friends in the first two books without asking and questions or reporting them to anyone.

Aedion, Celaena’s cousin and a general in the King of Adarlan’s army. He likes to party and fight and he is damn good at both!

And finally Rowan, a fae warrior Celaena meets when she is sent to Wendlyn. Rowan belongs to Queen Maeve and has been entrusted with Celaena’s training, which does not go down well with Celaena or Rowan.

This is a great third book in the series, revealing a few secrets and answering a few questions. I cannot wait to continue this series and see where Celaena ends up.

Consumed by guilt and rage, Celaena can’t bring herself to spill blood for the King of Adarlan. She must fight back…

The Immortal Queen will help her destroy the king – for a price. But as Celaena battles with her darkest memories and her heart breaks for a love that could never last, can she fulfil the bargain and head the almighty court of Terrasen? And who will stand with her?
