spellbinding

a sweeping epic, addictive storytelling and endless twists and turns. LOVING this series.
Only negative is i wish they had used a different narrator, she alternates randomly between whispering and then shouting...it can be physical painfull to listen too with earbuds. ouch. constantly turning volume up and down.

Great book

The book is great, I really enjoyed it. The narrator is difficult to listen to... She sounds very immature and is either yelling at you or whispering so you can't hear her, very disconcerting. I don't think I heard one word Nehemia said, such a shame.

Great for Sarah J Maas

I’ve read all her ACOTAR series, and whilst I enjoyed them, I wouldn’t say they were good. This book is actually almost pretty good. I was very impressed.

Kings Champion

After winning the contest and becoming the Kings Champion Celaena Sardothien is doing everything that is being demanded of her, meaning she's killing people that are not following on the King's ways. Now home after her latest mission with head in tow, she is already given a new target: Archer Finn, former crush and friend from the time when she was part of the Assassin’s Guild. But it turns out, she's not killing her targets as she’s told to, but faking their deaths. If someone discovers this secret she won’t be the only one in danger Chaol and Nehemia will be killed. But Celaena may be the Kings Champion but she won’t be his Assassin. But this target the stakes are higher, Archer is a well-known figure in Rifthold and faking his death may not be an option.

More secrets are revealed, new bonds and friends are made. Things between Chaol and Celaena heat up and become more then friends as a relationship is started. But when lies and secrets and revealed things are going to destroy what normalcy of a life that Celaena has created and may just break her.

Dorian and Celaena continue to stay friends but as Chaol and and Celaena grow closer the bond between Dorian and Chaol start to thin and split. I wasn’t a fan of of this connection to start if between Chaol and Celaena as I felt bad for Dorian but I understand that Dorian was young and not what Chaol needed to help her grow. But I still feel that Chaol is just a fill in that her true lobe is to still come and can’t wait to see who that is when he comes. Celaena is a sting and independent woman and she needs someone she can trust 100% and that won’t take her crap or bow to her.

When things go horribly wrong and the lives of her friends are in trouble Celaena must let her biggest secret out to help save them, even if it is the one thing that may ruin what is left of the friendship they have left. After Celaena shows her true self to Chaol to save him he is willing to sacrifice himself to save her by giving himself to his father to get her away from the king. But is it the right thing to do, once he finds out the whole truth?

My heart breaks for Dorian, so much happens for him in this book and he doesn’t know what to do or who to turn to. But when he finally finds that he can trust his friends, they still keeps secrets from him and he doesn’t know why to understands why.

Thank you for all that you have done for me, Dorian. Thank you for being my friend. For not being like the others.”

“I’ll come back,” she said quietly. “I’ll come back for you.”

Celaena Sardothien is Aelin Galathynius

Great book

I absolutely love anything by Sarah J Maas and this book did not disappoint. I also loved the voice acting in this.

Great story, narrator a little annoying

Love this series, though unfortunately I found kept finding myself quite irritated by the narrator. She does a good job, but I just can't seem to put my finger on what it is that I didn't like. There were many times when I had to stop listening.

Binge listening

Once again, I lost myself in the magic. Sarah J. Maas is an incredible writer.

fantastic book and perfect narrator

this is the third time though this book but first time audio. I really enjoyed it. I've just had it playing while I paint which I think is the best time. narrated more or less perfectly. now I want the next one.
