The first book in New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas's sweeping fantasy saga - now available in hardcover with a new look to match the series!
When magic has gone from the world, and a vicious king rules from his throne of glass, an assassin comes to the castle. She does not come to kill, but to win her freedom. If she can defeat twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition to find the greatest assassin in the land, she will become the king’s champion and be released from prison.
Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a foreign land will become the one thing she never thought she’d have again: a friend. But something evil dwells in the castle—and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying, horribly, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival, and a desperate quest to root out the source of the evil before it destroys her world.
Oh wow, apparently I read this novel for the first time precisely 6 years ago ! How cool is that !? But well, I really wanted to reread so I can finally finish this series ! It will most likely take a while before I get to the 7th book, since I do not have as much time to read as I used to... but 2019 I will have finished this series !!
One again really enjoyed the characters, how young and innocent they still are now in this first book.. I feel so sorry for them knowing already what will become of some of them :(
