Throne of Glass by Sarah Maas by 406 pages

This book was reviewed on the Friday book page for Unshelved and it looked intriguing. Starting it, I was reminded a lot of the Starcrossed series by Elizabeth Bunce. Celaena was the top assassin before she was betrayed and sent to a prison camp to die. She's been given a chance to gain her freedom, a competition to become the King's Champion, if she survives and wins. But Celaena doesn't know who she can trust, not only with her friendship and life, but also her heart.

This book had a lot of fantasy, adventure, intrigue, and magic. I found it very hard to believe that it was the author's first book. I will be anxiously awaiting the next one. Well worth picking up.
