Trust me.. I BARELY give five stars to books. They have to really be something special in order for me to even consider giving them four stars, let alone five. However!! This book, no.. This series is ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!! 
 OMG Celeana! 
 OMG Chaol! 
 OMG Dorian! 
 OMG Nehemia! 
 This book has EVERYTHING you want in a fantastic fantasy story: 
 - the fierce and fabulous assassin 
 - the beautiful and regal princess 
 - the handsome and strong commander *omg I am in love with himmmmmmmm* 
 - the courageous and kind-hearted prince 
 - the puppyyyyyyyyyyy!!! 
 I swear I was eating this book just in order to finish it. The story is absolutely amazing, even better than book 1! Celeana!! I adore her! I love her! I want to BE her! Trust me I NEVER say this about a character, but Celeana is now my all-time favorite female fantasy character. I love how fierce she is! I love her strength and her personality and OH MY GOD when I discovered her secret at the end of the book I JUST CAN'T EVEN. 
 I did not .. I never guessed it!!! I truly truly never guessed that secret about her! What a wonderful twist of events!!!! 
 Chaol. Can I marry him? Can I shove him in my pocket and keep him there forever? I lovvvvved him in this story and I absolutely LOVED his relationship with Celeana! Aaaaaaah my broken-heart *TEARS* 
 While we come to find out critical information about Dorian, I still felt like he didn't play a big role in this book. I am sure we will be reading more about him in the third book. 
 NEHEMIA!!! Oh my poooor poor Nehemia!! 
 The way the author phrased this book had me gasping at the end of some chapters! She worded everything perfectly and her use of suspense is AMAZING!! There were also some chapters that were so scary I got shivers and had to look behind my shoulder to see if I was still okay hahahahaa. 
 I LOVE THIS BOOK OMGOMGOMG. 
 Book threeeeeeeeeeeeee ~
