She is the greatest assassin her world has ever known.
But does she have the heart of a killer?
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king’s contest to become the new royal assassin. But Calaena is far from loyal to the crown. Keeping up the charade – while pretending to do the king’s bidding – will test her skills in an entirely new way.

Summary
In a rare feat of audacity, Crown Of Midnight surpassed its excellent predecessor, Throne Of Glass, to become on of my favorite high fantasy reads of the year. Full of kick-butt fighting, lush descriptions, strong emotion, creative magic, and sexual tension you couldn't cut with a weedwhacker, the only words I can think of to describe this book was \"intense, man.\"*insert deep breath*. It took me longer than I expected to read this book, because I was constantly having to stop and take deep breaths, bury my face in a pillow and squeal, kick something, or weep on Tumblr. The character development is incredible- the protagonist was on a perpetual pendulum of character change- and the dramatic highs and lows of the plot had me uncharacteristically emotional. I guarantee now I'll be pushing Throne Of Glass upon even MORE innocent bystanders, just so they can read this sequel.
Violence-there was some rather disturbing torture and body parts being tossed around, along with lots of fighting.
Language-None
Sexual-There was some moderately described sex sprinkled throughout the book.
Drug & Alcohol-They drank wine at dinner
