My Review 5 STARS
I the first book of the series we find our FMC in a salt mine where she has been for a year and she is being escorted by guards to see where her fate will take her that day.
We meet both Chaol the Captain of the Kings guards and Crown Prince Dorian who both feature a lot in this book and both develop feeling for Celaena. Celaena is morally grey, an assassin and in pain from betrayal and the death of her friend and slightly more Sam.
Celaena is taken from the Mine's to be the Princes chosen entry to become the Kings Assassin, but it ends up being so much more.
We meet another Princess in Nehemia and we also have a support for Celaena with her servant Philippa.
Again Celaena shows us her strength, not only in body, but of will and of mind and also how clever she is. She is certainly not a character to be messed with, but when she loves. or makes friends she protects them and will do ANYTHING to protect them.
I really enjoyed this book and an really looking forward to the rest of this series.
