"We all bear scars,... Mine just happen to be more visible than most." 
 I know I'm way behind in reading this series. It seems like all my friends have read it and loved it. 
 I have to say I enjoyed it a lot. I found myself torn between Prince Dorian and Chaol Westfall. 
 Celaena Sardothien is a well-known assassin but she was betrayed and captured. She has spent a year in prison when Prince Dorian and the captain of the guard Chaol Westfall make her a proposition she can't turn down. She must win a tournament and become the King's champion. If Celaena fails, she will return to prison and possibly die there. 
 Celaena's future depends on being successful at winning the tournament. She must win at all costs. However, the tournament is not the only thing Celaena must deal with. Something evil surrounds the Glass castle and it seems Celaena is the one to stop it. In a way, it's almost like it's her destiny. 
 There was a lot of action in this book. I like the suspense, intrigue, and the mystery too. I was also happy with the characters for the most part. At times, Celaena's immaturity bothered me but not enough to dislike her. I do hope she grows up as a character as the series progresses. 
 In regards to the love triangle, I was ok with it although there is no one definite yet. Both males have good traits but some of their attitudes I wasn't crazy about. 
 Cliffhanger: No
