Throne of Glass

1: Throne of Glass ★★★★
#2: Crown of Midnight ★★★.5
#3: Heir of Fire ???

This is certainly not SJM's best writing, but since I read the entirety of acotar this year I needed something else to pick up. I went into this expecting something fun and that's what I got! I actually really liked Celaena and loved watching her develop over the course of the book. I also loved her relationships with Chaol and Dorian (all I want is a triad here), and with Nehemia. While I found this incredibly readable, sometimes we would see other character POVs that completely pulled me out of the story. These felt a little lazy to me and were clearly just a way to quickly show something that Celaena couldn't have known. It was like SJM was tipping her hand to show us everything rather than leaving us with some mystery. Regardless, I'm excited to continue the series!
