She is the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But where will her conscience, and her heart, lead her?

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.Keeping up the deadly charade-while pretending to do the king's bidding-will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice. Where do the assassin's loyalties lie, and who is she willing to fight for?

I wasn't really invested in this YA fantasy series because the first book managed to irritate me quite a bit. The protagonist Celaena was just too perfect for an 18 year old girl. I suppose that's the price I pay for reading YA fiction.

I gave the series another shot and overall enjoyed it quite a bit more than the first book in the series. The first half managed to irritate me once again because it read like a boring romance novel. But exactly at the halfway point the plot thickens and there's suddenly epic fantasy underneath it all. It certainly elevated the whole story for me.

I'll be curious to see how the series fares with Celaena out of the castle. I would like to see some world-building.
