--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The book of the week is Throne of Glass by Sarah J.Maas! 

Book 1 of the Throne Of Glass Series

Synopsis: 
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.

This book was released a little while back in August in 2012 and I think it's still one of the best YA books I've ever read! The plot is gripping, thrilling and Sarah's writing is just amazing. I love the main character, Celaena, especially because she is so headstrong, stubborn and determined, not to mention a deadly assassin yet there are some parts in the book where you really feel for her and you can see her softer side - and the romance between Chaol Westfall, a captain and the prince's best friend and Dorian, the prince is so hot! A bit of a love triangle that makes everything altogether much more interesting!
