Really good start to the series! I’m enjoying these characters more than ACOTAR so far, as well as the slow burn into all of the new lore.

Although a slow start, the story definitely ramped up toward the end. I cannot wait to dive deeper into the craziness of the colliding worlds and to see how to love triangle unfolds. So far I am team Chaol.

decent!! the only complaint i have with trials in a series is that obviously the main character wins or it wouldn’t be a series | assassin | magic | love triangle

eh. the love interests fall in love for no reason. there are a lot of problems that are easily solved by telling any one of the other characters… which the narrator often acknowledges by saying “MC didn’t tell X character about Y thing they should definitely know.”
also don’t like how the MC thinks about other women, even though the example i have in mind turns out to be a villain later—really put me off lol

I’m not her target audience but the politics of the story kept me engaged and I will read the next.

Really enjoyed reading ToG. The book was a very relaxing read for me, even if the story itself wasn't. The characters were very well written, even though we don't know everything about them yet, and the story moved at a perfect pace which made every part of the story enjoyable to read and made sure there weren't any boring moments.
Very excited to read the rest of the series!

Overall, great! Really enjoyed the plot! You can definitely tell SJM was quite a bit younger when she wrote this (having already read ACOTAR), and sometimes the writing reeeaaallyyy reflects that. But like with all of her works that I have read, the characters are fantastic and she really excels with the female protagonists. Can’t wait to read the rest of the series!

First of all, I was expecting more badassery like Nevernight, but all that was given was romance and “OMG PRETTY GOWNS!!!!!”. I did not like the main character but it became more bearable towards the end of the book when the action happened. The romance was sub par; most of the time it was just due to the main love interest being handsome and nothing else. And the man thinks that he is suddenly in love with her and knows nothing about her. Anyway, the ending was ok. Maybe I will read the next book in the series to see if it gets better.

3.75 stars rounded up!!! What a journey this book was, all I can say is that I’m excited to learn more about Celaena’s story! Super excited to continue the rest of this series!!

This book was good, but I really liked the assassins blade more. I know this was just the introduction book to introduce key characters and set up the plot so it wasn’t that bad.
btw I’m obsessed with Chaol..

IN LOVE WITH CELAENA, ADORE Chaol and SO EXCITED for Dorian's story. I truly didn't think I would love the first book of the series this much although I knew I'd be obsessed with the series as I dive deeper into it. It was not the most original way to start a series, yes. It had many cliches, surprising elements were not THAT surprising and all. But somehow both the world and the characters captured me in a way that I couldn't help but starting the second book immediately. I can't wait to eat all the books up and see how more obsessed I'll get with each new character and book.

“You could rattle the stars," she whispered. "You could do anything, if you only dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That's what scares you most."

He was just a man--a man with too much power. And in that one heartbeat, she didn’t fear him.

"Celaena," Chaol said gently. And then she heard the scraping noise as his hand came into view, sliding across the flagstones. His fingertips stopped just at the edge of the white line. "Celaena, he breathed, his voice laced with pain and hope. This was all she had left - his outstretched hand, and the promise of hope, of something better waiting on the other side of that line. Moving her arm made sparks dance before her eyes, but she extended it until her fingertips reached the line of chalk, and stayed there, not a quarter of an inch from Chaol, the thick white mark separating them. She lifted her eyes to his face, and found his gaze lined with silver. "Get up,” was all he said. And in that moment, somehow his face was the only thing that mattered. She stirred, and couldn’t stop her sob as her body erupted with pain that made her lie still again. But she kept her focus on his brown eyes, on his tightly pressed lips as they parted and whispered, "Get up.”

"Mt name is Celaena Sardothien," she whispered. "But it makes no difference if my name's Celaena or Lillian or Bitch, because I'd still beat you, no matter what you call me."

"You bear many names, and so I shall name you as well. I name you Elentiya." She kissed the assassin's brow. "I give you this name to use with honor, to use when other names grow too heavy. I name you Elentiya, 'Spirit That Could Not Be Broken.'"

[...] what terrified him even more was that he trusted her. And he didn't know what that meant about himself.
here we see chaol discovering that the world is not as black & white as he's been led to believe

"Idiot," she said, grinning now.
"Crazed criminal," he returned, grinning too.

Through a clearing in the swirling mass, a cluster of stars could be seen. He couldn't help thinking that they gazed down at her.

Pure, fresh, warm sunlight. Sunlight that she could bask in day after day if she got her freedom, sunlight to drown out the endless dark of the mines.

She' d felt everything- the reverberations of tne key turnıng in the lock of her irons, then again as they loosened and fell to the floor. She could still feel the ghost chains hovering just above her skin.

She tried to think of music, tried to think of a celebratory tune, but Could only recall a solitary line from the mournful bellowing of the Eyllwe work songs, deep and slow like honey poured from a jar: And go home at last..

"My freedom?" At the sound of the word, she saw a land of pine and snow, of sun-bleached cliffs and white-capped seas, a land where light was swallowed in the velvety green of bumps and hollows- a land that she had forgotten.

I'm not an idiot, though I was foolish enough to be captured, and I can see that this is some sort of secret business. Why else would you leave the capital and venture this far? You've been testing me all this time to see if I am physically and mentally sound. Well, I know that I'm still sane, and that m notbIO- ken, despite what the incident at the wall might suggest. So I demand to be told why you're here, and what services you wish of me, if l'm not destined for the gallows.
