Celaena is still arrogant and somehow even dumber, but still entertaining. Nehemia is unfortunately dead but I'm not giving up hope to see her again and I still love her (she's maybe my favorite non-evil character). Chaol is doing the godawful “now I have to protect you” thing when the only thing Celaena needs protection from is her own stupid ideas. And Dorian has magic when he shouldn't and develops a lot.

I like all the world building with the wyrdmarks and what they're capable of. Definitely want to see that fleshed out. And I really, really can't wait to learn more about the King.

I liked Yellowlegs a lot and that whole sequence was a lot of fun. Can we please flesh out the Witch lore?

Now I really, really hope Kaltain gets a chance to kill Perrington. 

The scene where Celaena rescues Chaol from the rebel idiots then pummeling him to within a literal inch of his life was cool because you could see where she gets her arrogance from. You finally get a small taste of pre-imprisonment Celaena. 

There was a lot of backstory and character development in this one. Definitely looking forward to seeing where it leads.
