Summary:
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier,
eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest
to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the
crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate
confidantes.Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the
king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when
she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care
for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon --
forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force
Celaena to make a choice. Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and
who is she willing to fight for?

Review:
HOLY MOTHER OF ALL SHUCKS. Sarah has done it again. She riped my heart open and did surgery on it without giving me anesthesia, but it was the best pain ever."Perhaps the world would never be perfect, perhaps somethings would never be right, but maybe she stood a chance of finding her own sort of peace and freedom."
This story is one heck of a roller coaster. Seriously, one moment you're having the time of you're life and having a blast and not even ten seconds later Sarah swoops and and kills your joy. But she is the best mood killer in the world."The king sent me to kill you."
The setting is still as riveting as the first book and as the novellas. You are so engrossed in the stroy you have no idea of what going on around you. (Trust me, I walked into a wall because of this beauty. And I'm a pretty decent walker/reader so it's a rarity when this happens.) The character. OH GOSH THE CHARACTERS ARE SO MADDENINGLY, BEAUTIFUL AND CRAZY. You won't ever get enough of them."He'd loved her enough to risk everything - to give up everything."
I don't know what to tell y'all other than to pick up Throne of Glass, if you haven't already, and jump into this series. However, be ready for some serious pain. Be prepared to have some tissues and comfort food on the side. You're gonna need it like no one's business."The best lies were always mixed with truth."
"Done running from fate at last?"

P.S. That ending. FUDGE AND FUDGING NUGGETS that glorious ending! Let's just say that I am astronomically fearful of Heir of Fire. Oh and since I finished this book i have been obsessed with all the fanart. I swear, I can spend hours looking at this series' fanart.
