“What,” she breathed, “is that?” She pointed at the twenty-foot oak doors, her eyes widening at the dragons that grew out of either side of the stone wall. Four-legged dragons—not vicious, bipedal wyverns like those on the royal seal. “The library.” 
 
If I had known, I should have known, what this story was all about, I would have jumped in long before I had read the ACOTAR series. This was a superb tale of royal family, assassins, a glass castle, and what lengths people will go to all in the name of winning. Celaena Sardothien is a bad-ass young woman fighting for her life, and what she finds during her stay, (imprisonment with benefits?) is nothing short of life altering. Obviously, I’ve jumped into the next book in the series, it’s one that I’m enjoying savoring, and glad I have friends I can discuss and jump to conclusions with.
