Celaena Sardothien is a notorious
assassin, a job which landed her in the salt mines as a slave. She is taken from the mines by the Captain of
the Guard, Chaol, to the Crown Prince, Dorian.
Dorian wants to enter Celaena as his champion into a contest to earn the title of King’s
Champion. Celaena has assassin skills
and a sharp tongue, and with training from the Captain of the Guard, Dorian hopes
that she will win the champion contest.
What Celaena finds in the glass castle of the king is dark magic that is
opening a portal for evil to come into her land. Between fighting in challenges put on by the
king, uncovering who is brutally murdering the champions, and figuring out the magic working in the castle, Celaena also
finds herself caring deeply for both Chaol and Dorian.
This is a great read, with exciting actions
scenes and a strong main character. The
broken world that these characters live in creates a great setting for Celanea’s
story. I cannot wait to read more in
this series. It’s well written and fast
paced. Great read!
