The blurb of this book tells me that it is the 'first in an
epic new fantasy trilogy' and I have to say that I couldn't agree more. This
book introduces us to an unexplainably complex fantasy with description so
intense that I felt like I could have lived there my entire life. Despite how
horrible some of the characters could be and the evil that I knew to be present
there, I couldn't help but fall in love with this world and all it had to
offer. The plot was very cleverly and carefully revealed, leaving me always
wanting more at the end of each chapter. Character development happened
gradually and realistically, assisted greatly by Maas' incredible writing. This
book sets a high standard amongst fantasy novels and I can't wait for the next
instalment in this series, though I will comment that after the ending of this
book, I hope a storyline that is just as good or better than the one in this
book will be found as I do not just want the second and third books to focus on
romance; I would prefer for there to be something for the characters to face
off against.
