**AUDIOBOOK** 
 SO MUCH HAPPENED. 
 Celaena has taken over as role in Kings champion. He's ordering her left and right to assassinate those that get in the way of his plan. Celaena has plans of her own though that would cause a lot of trouble if the king were to ever find out what she's doing behind his back. Once someone she loves and cares about it is taken from her brutally does she create a plan of attack of her own. Who and what will Celaena really fight for?? 
 While listening to the audiobook I found myself very often day dreaming instead of listening to the story. There were certain points when I'd get super interested and then fall off a little bit, etc. Celaena though is a GREAT main character with strength, power, and mystery of her own. Once the pace got rolling really in Part Two of the book I was fully captivated into the murder mystery of the plot and the other world devices and beings being discovered. 
 The love "triangle" wasn't how they're typically done and I appreciate it so much. One guy knows he won't be the one to win over her heart in the end and accepts it. He knows which team is really meant to be together (view spoiler)[#teamchaol (hide spoiler)] and respects them as a couple though he cares for her deeply also. I can't wait for the true winning team to get over what happened in this book and become an epic team together. 
 (view spoiler)[Nehemiah dying *cries* for so long I was in denial that this happened. I thought it was just a staged death and refused to believe that she was really gone from us. She was such an important and pivotal character to Celaena's life inside the castle. Then we learn how Archer (didn't see that coming!) was the one who planned the entire thing by using a past wannabe champion as his assassin. INTENSE! Did NOT see that death coming. 
 Then we also find out the true nature of Celaena!!! Fae queen! WHAT?! & Chaol KNOWS! & Dorian has MAGIC! 
 Just. So juicy. SO GOOD. (hide spoiler)]
