At seventeen, Celaena Sardothien was the world’s most feared assassin. At eighteen, she is broken after a year spent slaving in the salt mines. But now she has the chance to fight for her freedom and become the King’s Champion — assuming whoever (or whatever) is murdering the competition doesn’t kill her first.
I never thought I would so love a protagonist with so few qualms about killing, but Celaena’s hard, tough sass is matched by her innocent appreciation for beauty and youthful femininity. She’s one of the most fun leading ladies I’ve encountered lately, and one of the most human.
Also, the world this is set in is so cool! Magic has fled the kingdom… but maybe not as much as the magic-fearing King would hope. I can’t wait for the next book (releasing this August) to find out more about the history of this world!
Fans of high fantasy and/or sass, mystery, determination, and a little romance should definitely check this one out.
