Convony

Scrawling

Mortified

Reflection, Connection & Personal Response: 

This is a story made of stories, and I feel it is to represent Celaena’s journy being in different segments, ignoring the ambiguous parts of unimportance. I can connect how Celaena felt when Sam died, as the loss of somebody is very hard. I can also connect to how I trusted someone, but in the end they betrayed us, just like how Ansel betrayed Celaena in the end

Reflection, Connection & Personal Response: 

I feel that this story is about a Woman who has been alone for most of her life, but used to be royalty. Though I have not read the books that happen before this entry, it is a book that kept me reading at night. I will definitely read the rest of the series by the end of the year.
