GUYS THIS BOOK WAS AMAZING! In the first too books I was surprised on how well Maas was building her world, and she made it clear that this would be a six book series. I was a little suspicious on how she would do that after reading the first book. Most authors tend to drag out their books so that the books will fit into a trilogy when they are meant to be a stand alone, or so on and so forth. But, Maas really know how to bring her books to life! She Is a fantastic writer, she definitely knows how to keep a reader entertained and interested, THE WHOLE BOOK!! Now I'm going to talk about the book so if you haven't read it leave now!

SPOILERS AHEAD!!!!

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?

So, in the previous book Crown of Midnight the king of Adarlan sends Celaena off to kill her aunt. But little did the king know,  really Celaena is going to find her true self there.

In this book there is major character growth. We see the transition of Celaena Sardothien the assassin, to Alein Ashryver Galathynius future queen of Terraasen. In this book she wasn't her usual strong and relentless self. She was broken and trying to find her way. This book shows that Celaena isn't unbreakable. She is still the same snarky, and cocky person in this book. But, the difference is, as she soon finds out is that she is not the best.

Rowan. We meet Rowan at the very beginning of the book when he comes to take Celaena to her aunt. I immediately didn't like him off the bat. When the arrive to meet her aunt, Celaena finds out that he is a very distant cousin from her, and that he will help her train. When her aunt said train I was confused, and I immediately thought back to the first book. So, yes train. Rowan has to train Celaena up to par, so she can get the answers she needs.

To be honest Rowan is my second favorite character in this series, beside Celaena. These two fight consistently. He calls her a coward to her face, calls her useless, pitiful, a brat. But, even though these two fight consistently, you can just tell there is a connection there. I really hated his character during the first half of the book, every time he got pissed at Celaena for not doing something right and called her a coward, my heart actually hurt for her. But, during the second part of the book, he was sweet, calm, and patient with her. And you could tell the difference it was making in her training too. She went from being a closed out rock to a woman who could use her flames correctly and efficiently.

I can totally feel a relationship brewing between these too. I like him more than I like Dorian or Chaol. He's strong, and knowledgeable and broken just like Celaena. They help each other, mend each other's inner demons. They don't let each other fall down, and that's just what both of them need. I'm really excited for the next book to see more of Rowan and Celaena.

So this fight Scene at the end. With the dark princes. Holy Crap! It was full out madness. During her fighting the princes she is witnessing memories of her past, things she hasn't really faced till now. And those memories are what is pushing her forward. But, Celaena is about to burn out and when she does she collapses, and she witnesses the worst memory of them all. Her parents death. She can see everything. After that memory she can see hear the ghosts of everyone shes lost, and she get up. During this fight Rowan is trying to help her, but his friends are holding him back because they think she's dead. But shes not. When they see an ark of light they know that shes alive. And Rowan and Celaena make a connection 'a rare connection' and share each others magic to kill the .

This book was seriously intense. Even though it took me a while to get into, I'm glad I finished it! Just read it. I consistently recommend this to my friends, and they all love it. So you should read this book too!
