Favorite series of all time. Starts off slow, main character a bit of a whiny brat but that's how a lot of teens are at that age. Then she matures and the series picks up more and more. Epic storytelling, characters, monsters, female point of views. Must read but don't think about quitting until you are a few books in. If I could only go back in time and reread it for the first time.
I discovered this series during my endless wandering within my school library. At first it was only a glimpse at the older covers, I saw a firce young girl and thought, meh looks interesting.
BOY was I unprepared!
I fell in love with all the characters, relating myself to their actions and choices more times than I could count. What I thought would be such a simple plot, opened like a sinkhole throughout the books.
Celaena Sardothian (AKA, Lillian Gordaina, AKA Dianna Brackyn AKA THE Aelin Ashryver Whitethorn Galathynius) was an exceptionally brave, fierce and powerful character with so much backstory I felt akin to her. This series had me falling in love with Maas and hooked me to her future works. I grew up a Maas fan and despite all the controversy she may face, I will not deny her ability to write beautifully troubled characters is phenomenal. Nehemia, girl, you will always have a place in my little gay heart!
Her world-building in this series was exceptional. If I was stranded with only one series to read, I pray it be this one.
