I actually read the prequel novellas first which was a smart move because it helped me understand Celaena much better. This one did start a bit slow for me at first but it picked up when the champions slowly disappeared. I plan to catch up with this series this summer.

It wasn't until I read the prequel books that I started to understand her a bit more, and by the 5th novella I was madly in love. I think this series gets better as it goes, so I hope that ends up being the case for you too!Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14199685365145765394noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3174565204146611498.post-55735979870168213152016-04-18T22:47:44.888-06:002016-04-18T22:47:44.888-06:00I confess that I have this book for a long time bu...I confess that I have this book for a long time but I still need to read it as book 2! soon!
