I will be posting a spoiler free series review once I have finished reading the series :-)
"A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached.
It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend."
From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.
Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.
Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

MY REVIEW
I just could not put this book down. Even though it was the second time I have read this, it has been a while and a lot of the story I had long forgotten. Of course, we are still following Celaena who is now the King's Champion and has been given her first tasks. The King has a list of people he believes are against him. Celaena's job is to hunt them down and kill them. It was very interesting to see Celaena learn of these tasks and the choices she made when seeing them through.
Of course you still have the love aspect of this story, which I was very much looking forward to seeing more of but the most interesting aspect of this story is when Celaena finds out more about the castle and we see a little more about the history of the world and those who have come before. For me, that was the best part of this story. To find out more about that means that I could greater understand what was happening in the present, although I do get the feeling there is so much more to learn... There are definitely a few twists and turns in this story, a lot of them I have to be honest and say that I was not expecting at all!
I just can't wait to move onto the next book, which I have not read at all yet... :-)
