I loved this book. The story had just enough intrigue, action, and even romance. Celaena the main character is great. She is strong willed, opinionated and cunning. However she is only 17 and she acts just like a 17 year old, which is not a problem except that she is supposed to be the worlds most feared assassin and apart from the fighting, she is a gushing young kid. Putting that aside though, she was a fun character that I enjoyed following.
I have discovered that I definitely have a "type" of book that I love reading. They don't have to be in the same genre but there are similar themes that run through them all. This book seemed to be all of them combined. All the way through the book I had déjà vu moments and memories of previous books flooded back.
Even though reading this book remind me of all the others before it, I still loved every part of it.
Great book. I love that Lauren Kate let you into the Fallen world just that little bit more with an addition to the story. As it is 3.5 in the series, it doesn't continue the main story line but it does give you insight into a few things that you being to wonder about it the main books. I loved learning more about Arriane and Cam, what was behind the choices they made and the explanations of how things came to be in the main series.Mainly this book just whet me appetite for the fourth book in the series, Rapture. Unfortunately I will have to wait an entire 2 more months for it. But at least I had this jaunt back into the Fallen world as a reprieve from the long break between books three and four.
