The action-packed, heart-wrenching and fantastically addictive sequel to Sarah J. Maas's epic YA fantasy debut THRONE OF GLASS.
Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the King's contest and became his champion, Celaena has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart. Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her to pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates, or risk sentencing those she loves to death. Celaena must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all ... And trying to may just destroy her.
Again, I berate myself for waiting so long to read this series. We catch back up with Celaena as she assumes her role as the King's Champion. We get action, adventure, mystery, romance, and pain, so much pain. We learn so much more about Celaena. We learn more about her past, what governs her heart, and her fears. Chaol also gets a bigger part, and YES! But then, NO! It's a roller coaster. I also must admit, I shed some tears. Maas does such an amazing job of pulling you into the story, into the world, into the minds of the characters. I had a lot of questions and emotions to deal with out the end. Stupendous!
