I think this might be my 4th time reading this book. Not the whole series but definitely this book. I really like it. If I didn't love it I guess I wouldn't pick it up every time I feel a reading slump coming on.

I had heard so much about this series that I decided I wanted to try it. I've had such good luck with YA fantasy lately. Off to the library!
The book starts out with Celaena braving unspeakable cruelty and is given a chance to serve as the king's champion in exchange for freedom after 4 years.

I'm fairly certain I loved this book even more the second time around! Not to mention, my heart is rebreaking thinking about what the next books hold for these characters.

Good read
Characters were good and I enjoyed reading the book. Enjoyable and entertaining. Looking forward to reading book two as I hope it's as good as the first one ...more
