Celaena Sardothien only eighteen years old, but she’s a deadly assassin. She was captured and placed in Endovier, it is a place where prisoners are sent to work in the salt mine but it’s also known as a death camp. No one who is sent there manages to get out. It’s not until the Crown Prince of Adarlan, Dorian Havilliard chooses her to compete as his champion in a competition that the King is hosting. If she wins the competition, she has to sure as his assassin for 4 years but then she gains her freedom.

Chaol Westfall, the Captain of the Royal Guard, is responsible for training Celaena and making sure she is under control. The other champions are murders, thieves, and other assassins but none are as good as she is. Chaol doesn’t want her show off, he wants her to fly under the radar so that she isn’t a target of the other champions. Also to make her more conspicuous, she is given an alias Lillian Gordiana, jewelry thief. The competition is a series of tests that the champions must pass, and the final test will be a duel between the last 4 champions. As the competition progresses, there are a series of murders that take place. The champions are being killed off one by one and no one knows who is doing it.

This book was a really slow start for me. It took me a while to get into it, so this book took me much longer to finish then the ACOTAR books did. This book was a lot of character building. Personally, I love Chaol. I think he is such a great person with a really good heart. Celaena and Chaol have a good friendship going that I hope develops into more. I can’t wait to see how the story of the magic develops. I think that there is a lot more to that story than there was in this first book. I’m jumping into Crown of Midnight next!
