Summary: From Good Reads
Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?


Feelings: 

The third book in the series takes Celaena out of Erilea and takes her to Wendlyn. At first I found the book a little slow. We switched back and forth between Erilea characters perspectives and Wendlyn characters perspectives. I wondered how we would continue the story with the characters in multiple places. I was surprised but I ended up like spending time with Price Dorian the most. He grows a lot during the book and following him as he grows as a person.

Celaena started out a bit whinny at the beginning of the book but as the story progresses she moves on from feeling sorry for herself and begins to grow herself. The story got a lot better as a whole when Celaena stops complaining and starts standing up for herself and stops being scared of what she can do.

I am enjoying this series a lot and am looking forward to the next in the series. I think there are going to be about six books in the series and I hope they can maintain the momentum they set up.
