4. Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass #1) by Sarah J. Maas

  

Goodreads: 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 four years and then be granted her freedom. 

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. 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. 

My thought:
Ok, this book is a MUST READ! I haven't read a book this good in a while. Its got a lot of different things going on it that it will keep your attention. I don't want to say to much cause I don't want to ruin it. But it is an awesome book. 

Ya, this is a RECOMMENDED READ! Then wait for the next book that will blow you away.
