Description: 


After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.


My Thoughts:
 


After so long I am giving a book 5 star rating. That's how much I liked this book. I loved it and I am going to buy every damn book by Sarah J Mass. She is officially my new favorite author. What was I doing all these years without reading her books???.
The things I loved about book:
1) The plot
2)Main lead (Celaena)
3)lead Boys (Dorian more than Chaol)
4)The writing style of author
I am sure I am forgetting something but thats pretty much it. Basically I loved everything about this book. I liked how she a badass assassin but the same time she is girlish. Most of us are so use to badass girl character to be like male version of Batman or something where they are brooding and no fun. No, That doesnt work for me. One can be badass and girlish at the same time right?. Celaena is like that. Her self-centered, arrogant, sassy and girly behavior make her more original than all those self-righteous main lead heroins of some YA novels. One is not always perfect, some have bad habits and bad nature but the one who overcome those things and do good are more like my idols. If you are into a badass woman assassin with little bit of girl qualities then you should definitely read it.

My rating: 


I give this book 5
stars out of 5.
