I guess I really do have the unpopular opinion because I see a lot of low ratings for this book, but I was so entranced. I guess that comes as no surprise since it's compared to one of my all-time favorites, The Name of the Wind (which I had some qualms with).

Random Update

 
I just realized I haven't posted any pictures of Pepper since I got her 3 months ago, so here you go.
 
 
I've never seen a cat that loves fire, but she does. She also stretches her front paws out when she's super comfy and head-butts me awake every morning which is convenient on most days, but torture on the weekends :)
 
 
 
 
Also, Throne of Glass has pretty much taken over my life & reading list so I've been putting some stuff off to keep going with the series (including A Breath of Snow and Ashes which we all know will probably take me like 2 months to read)
 
Sorry, not sorry.

Yet another case of great world-building with a mediocre plot and one-dimensional characters, le sigh.

I'm so tempted to write something along the lines of 'AHHHHH' and 'IKNEWIT I. KNEW. IT', but I won't....

It might be a bit hard to express how I felt about this one.

*This book was gifted to me by the author. The below review is my honest opinion*

I hate to not like books that authors gift to me, but I fought to finish this one.

This book picks up where the previous book left off, a new princess and her angry subjects.

This is a brand new world in fantasy that was very elaborate and worth reading for the imagery alone.

Before I dive too deep, I want to say that there is a powerful and important message of a woman's strength in this story. This is about the only redeeming quality to me.

I finally understand.

I'm probably going to repeat just about every review there is out there, but oh well.
