Synopsis

Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the King's contest and became his champion, Celaena has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart. The slavery of the suffocating salt mines of Endovier that scarred her past is nothing compared to a life bound to her darkest enemy, a king whose rule is so dark and evil it is near impossible to defy. Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her heart to pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates, or risk sentencing those she loves to death. Celaena must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all ...And trying to may just destroy her. Love or loathe Celaena, she will slice open your heart with her dagger and leave you bleeding long after the last page of this New York Times bestselling sequel, in what is undeniably THE hottest new fantasy series.

Review

I believe the word "unputdownable" was created for this very book * Praise for 'Throne of Glass', Once Upon a Time * Without a doubt the best fantasy book I have ever read in my life * Praise for 'Throne of Glass', K-Books * Packed with brilliant, intelligent and witty characters, corrupted rulers, dark and good magic alike. The world-building is incredible, and the plot promises something even greater from the sequel . . . This is not one to be missed * Praise for 'Throne of Glass', Pen to Paper * Like Cinderella's love story and the action and competition of The Hunger Games, handsome princes, ball gowns and deathly masquerade balls? Then this is the book for you! This book is going to be HUGE! * Praise for 'Throne of Glass', Dark Readers * A rich and powerful sequel that will be loved by Throne of Glass fans everywhere! * Praise for 'Crown of Midnight', Bookworm Blogger * Enthralling and well-paced, exhilarating and wonderfully-written * Praise for 'Crown of Midnight', Realm of Fiction * With an ending that left me gaping in shock, my heart battered and my knuckles white, Crown of Midnight was a brilliant sequel and I can't wait to be back in Celaena's world again * Praise for 'Crown of Midnight', So Many Books, So Little Time * There are seriously no words to explain how epic this book was. I am still sat here completely reeling from the ending and my head is just spinning from all the epic awesomeness that happened * Praise for 'Crown of Midnight', K-Books * The plot is riddled with intrigue, and the fighting comes thick and fast. Crown of Midnight does not disappoint! * Praise for 'Crown of Midnight', Dark Readers *
