This book is about eighteen-year-old, Celaena Sardothien. Celaena was trained from the age of seven as an assassin, the best assassin, but she made a fatal mistake, she got herself caught and sent to the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier for a life sentence. She has been there for a year she is taken to Prince Dorian who offers her a choice. Represent him in a to-the-death tournament, fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the land or go back to Endovier and finish her life sentence. I loved this book because it's full of adventure, friendship, death, and a tiny bit of romance. I love that the assassin is a young woman. My favorite character is Celeana because she is very intelligent, attractive and has fantastic fighting abilities, but also, she is a very determined young woman. I recommend this book to anyone aged 10+ and to anyone who is a Hunger Games fan. I rate it 5/5 stars.
