"In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is released from prison to serve as the king's champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien.

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass- and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world."

My Rating: 4/5

I didn't know what to expect when going into this loved series but it wasn't this. I purposefully left myself in the dark throughout the books coming out and now I'm hoping (as long as I keep enjoying the series) I plan to binge through this series. I loved the characters in this first book, the plot was interesting and I'm curious to learn more about the world. I do wonder where the series will take us considering it is 7 (I think) books long. I look forward to watching the relationships between our characters grow. Overall this book was great, just not all I had heard it was hyped up about.

Thanks for reading,

Sidny
