For those of you that live and Mars and have not heard of the Throne of Glass series, well shame on you, ya freakin alien jerk! Sarah J. Maas kicked some serious ass when she came up with this series. I LOVE action, drama, and women that can seriously whoop some ass. So a woman assassin that can do the impossible and basically kill anyone that she comes up against is a seriously fantastic idea that can do no wrong. Even when my parents asked me as a child "What do you want to be when you grow up?" I answered "An assassin!" Ok, so I was too little to know exactly what that profession entailed, but somewhere inside that child mind of mine, I already knew I wanted be a strong woman that kicked ass. So this series puts my mind in a different world where I can live through the main bitch and do things there that would otherwise be frowned upon in our legal system here today.
So the second book in the series is set to be released on August 27th, 2013. I was lucky enough to get a copy early and it was an amazing read!!!! I will post my review up soon for you guys to check out. For those of you that have not read the first book of the series and the novellas, that August release gives you some time to get your shit together and read all the books for this series already. So here are the books out so far for this series:
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1)
After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
