When I heard this book was coming out, you can imagine my joy. If you can't imagine it, try picturing a 7 year old kid waking up to a snow day where you can sled and build forts all day long... Whee!!  But then, I found out the entire plot revolved around Choal.  Hmmm... not my absolute favorite character in the whole Maas world. So, I told myself: Self, give it a try. And believe you me, it was sledding and forts with hot chocolate at the end! New lands, new characters, new creatures, new mystery. It was glorious. Why did I ever doubt?

As always with Maas, there is a whole lot going on in this book. I know there are complaints that characters fall in and out of love in this series a bit too much, but this felt right.  No spoilers, but I am rooting for a whole host of new happily ever afters here. I seriously can't wait for the next installment.  Write faster, pretty please!
