Second time reading and reviewing: I agree with my 2020 self haha. Such a good story, amazing characters and a plot worth diving into!
So so good! A story centered on a notorious assassin. She’s elected by the crowned prince to participate in a competition to be the King’s Champion, aka personal killer.

4 stars, maybe 4,5 stars.
I wanted to start the series for a while, but never had the time to begin. Thanks to a BR, I finally kicked off with the first book!

I love strong female protagonists! Celaena was such a bad ass character, I love how strong she was, along with a couple other strong women, Elena and Nehemia. It was a little slow on the middle, but interesting and the action scenes were page turners. I'm definitely excited to read the next book!
