I'm one of the bloggers, I guess, who just doesn't get Celaena. I lost trust in her as a smart character the moment she ate all the candy. Also, if she's such an amazing assassin, how can people keep sneaking up on her as well as putting candy next to her bed? When you have no proof of her assassinness (b/c the "trials" are kind of glossed over) and you hear over and over about the dresses, you start to wonder at the validity of the claim. I digress. Sorry to post so late on this, lol. I'm having issues with it. I hate feeling left out of loving a book.

Like it was annoying, yes, but also realistic for people to have good and bad qualities so that's how I kinda got over it. And I really hope you got Crown of Midnight for Christmas!<br /><br />I'm not sure how many I've collected at this point, but here is a post I did earlier this year that looks at my collection: http://www.soobsessedwith.com/2013/01/i-was-in-middle-before-i-knew-that-i.html.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-15999876145910790252013-12-29T23:18:41.724-05:002013-12-29T23:18:41.724-05:00I am SO GLAD that you kept pushing this series - y...I am SO GLAD that you kept pushing this series - you're definitely one of the reasons I read this series!

I thought the love triangle actually worked in this one and although her vanity might have been a bit annoying at times overall I thought Celaena was one kick ass character! I love Sarah J Maas managed to keep that aspect of her character up right the way through but still show she wasn't all bad! I think my friend has already bought me the sequel for Christmas so I have to wait until then! :-( Oh, and I LOVE Pride and Prejudice!

Glad I'm not the only person guilty of buying book two before I've even started a series!<br /><br />Love triangles are typically a deterrent for me, unless someone points on that it's really poorly handled. And I do understand why not everyone will love Celaena, but I found her really unique and enjoyable.<br /><br />Hope you enjoy it whenever you read it! Look forward to your thoughts on it either way :)Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05058757489545239601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-51241304214395054362013-11-03T10:37:56.330-05:002013-11-03T10:37:56.330-05:00TOTALLY AGREE.

I'm not a fantasy reader either and hadn't thought I would pick up Throne of Glass but since you've loved it, I'm going to give it a go! I have a similar problem with fantasy and worldbuilding. I find it hard to picture the world or imagine it and then I get bored and put it down. I'm happy that's not the case here !!!

Sometimes it's just hard to resist massive amounts of hype lol.<br />I actually haven't read Throne of Glass yet myself. There's that love triangle and potential problems in Celaena's characterization that have been pointed out many times in reviews. But I'm curious! I do love my fantasies and Celaena could very well end up being a hit for me as well, characterization-wise. I guess I'll just have to try it out for myself! Glad you were able to get around to this one and enjoyed it, Hannah. :)Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03052456915027241479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7453643548383938123.post-12616939931711565872013-10-21T19:15:52.343-04:002013-10-21T19:15:52.343-04:00CHAOL FOREVER AND ALWAYS.
