Insignificant Artist

I personally didn't care for Sybella and Beast together, not sure why but it just didn't grab me. I hate that "pretty boy" as I called him had to die, I feel he (de Lornay){if that's how you spell it} and Sybella could've had a great conflicting relationship. de Lornay being the charm boy he is, hates that Sybella is annoyed by his existence. For he reminds her too much of all the other Breton nobles and their stuck-up concede egos. Their entire dynamic could've been de Lornay trying so desperately to win over her heart, her trying to dissuade him with her lineage and dark secerts, then him coming to truly love her rather than win conquer her, and her seeing that she's grown a soft spot for him and maybe even feelings deeper than that. Everything else was great in the book though, really liked it.

3.5 This was a great series, don't get me wrong! It got me through some tough times in my freshman year. It was a bit hard to pick up at first, but once I discovered the amazing character that Celaena was, and from an assassin's point of view, the first book was fantastic! But then things started changing, the characters and plots alike. Then there was too much going on at once. The main character was starting to feel like a video game protagonist being chosen to fulfill every prophecy... First, she's an assassin cool, then she's the lost princess what(?) and now she has magic powers on top of it? These books were really good, I do think that, but it just would have been better if these books were fashioned into multiple series rather than one. The first book was (again) great, but by the time the last book rolled around, it didn't even feel like the same story or characters. And whatever happened to the talking door ringer thing? Mort? Who else remembers him? I strangely loved him and his snotty remark, he was a small character in the story and only featured in what(?) one book(?) but he was lovable and will forever be missed...
