Never underestimate the power of a woman with a debt to settle...and certainly, never underestimate that woman because of her age or beauty. These are wise concepts that most dystopian novels tend to play with and Sarah J. Maas does not disappoint in Throne of Glass.
World famous (and beautiful) 18-year old assassin, Celaena Sardothien is selected by Prince Dorian and pulled out of the prison salt mines of Endovier (where many criminals are sent to die) and sent to the beautiful Glass Castle and thrust into the world of dresses and court life to act as his selected champion in a competition to find the new royal assassin. If she can somehow win this competition, the Prince promises her freedom after her four years of service to the crown are up. Both Celaena and Prince Dorian have something to prove, but will they be able to overcome all of the obstacles ahead of them? And what of this new interest in gruff Captain Westfall who seems to be the first who both appreciates and seems to understand her. Can Celaena overcome the great challenges before her? Can she figure out who or what is killing off the competition before she, herself falls victim to the murders? Is all that is, as it seems?
