This is the book you love to hate, that you find predictable and cliche but still keep reading because it's entertaining. That's why I rated it 2 stars, because it's not completely awful since you kind of want to keep reading to know what's going to happen, or if what you imagined will indeed happen. The beginning is the most insufferable part. They present Celaena as an endearing, strong self assured, independent character that doesn't let fear get into her. But they insist so much on this, so much, that she ends up being an obnoxious, sassy, vain a-hole. It's like they don't know how to portray a self assure character without painting them as self absorbed, cocky and big headed. On top of this, there are things that felt out of place, just to force romance to click in some point of the story, although they tried to make romance so off hand that it's kind of a caricature portray of a high school comedy. She's a very dangerous assassin, so much that everyone thinks she's older. In 18 years she accomplished to learn to fight, use weapons, be stealth, endure pain, play the pianoforte, read, scale walls, a second language. Not only that but she's a fashion expert and knows how to wear make up (she's 18 in a land in war, and has been imprisoned for a year). I barely finished high school and my second language by that age, and my tries at piano and ballet were pitiful, I really don't know how she got time to eat and sleep.The other thing is her looks, they constantly remind us that she's beautiful despite starvation and filth in the mines. And she's feminine! It's mentioned as a feminist book because of the "strong" female characters but it get's the opposite effect. They have to repeat over and over that she's beautiful and skilled and she loves clothes and pampering, because you won't assume that a feminine woman can like sword fighting and be a bad-ass. How else would every guy fell for her, if she weren't very attractive with a dangerous side? Oh, and she loves, loooves books. So she appreciates fashion, literature, knowledge, a good warrior... I wonder if she poops rainbows. She's been slaved, whipped, starved, punished. She's seen atrocities and death in the camp. Her enemies came to get her to a place she doesn't know for a shady proposal... but she can appreciate the looks of the guys that came to get her. Because she's not scared, she could take them all if she wanted to. That forced introduction to future romance (because there has to be romance) irked me.Another trope that irked me is the "shading" of things to come in the next books, that were so obvious in this one that you can stop reading the series and know where it's going. Celaena is blocking her past, she thinks her magic is gone but has some perks that tell the reader it's still there and she belongs to some important magic bloodline because... well she learned so much in such a short lifetime, of course she poops rainbows! And the prince has some perks too that make you think he's going to be a magical being with some story behind his birth that makes the king mad (although the king is portrayed as the ultimate villain ever).It tries to be a dark dystopia and falls short, showing as a sketch on many overused tropes like The hunger games, Harry Potter and every teen romantic comedy.Can't wait to keep reading the series, since everyone says that after the second things go downhill... Oh boy, what to expect?!
