Throne of Glass

So far so good. I enjoy the main character's hard ass attitude, which is spunky but realistic and in keeping with her life experiences. At 100 pages in things are kind of settling into a rhythm that I hope doesn't keep up until the end - sleep/eat/train/compete.

Im intrigued by some of the minor characters that they've introduced. The world building is good, but there isnt enough of it - the authors use of imagery is excellent and I hope we get to see more than just the castle.
The history of the country is mentioned briefly, but never fully explained, Im a little confused about the layout of the country/timeline of events, I wish there was 1) a map, and 2) a preface with details about the current king's invasion. I suppose we'll learn more as we go?

They've glossed over the training crap, and focused more on the mystery aspect. The romance between the main character and the prince is irritating, I like the captain more. Also love the Nahima character, would love to see her fathers kingdom - the desert. Wish there were more small details about what the characters look like, how they act.

Theres some kind of mystery about her parents thats intriguing, and her connection to the fae queen's ghost that Im sure will feature in the next book. The magic system shown is also interesting.

Good climax, and enough of an ending to wrap things up nicely. Looking forward to the next book.
