“It is punishable by death to speak of or to encourage magic. It is an affront to the gods, and an affront to me that you sang such a song in my hall.” 
 
Celaena Sardothien is now the Kings Champion, Assassin, and spy. When the King of Rifthold gives her a list of people that he knows is growing a rebellion against him, he wants them dead, and he wants proof. When she sees a name she recognizes from her past, she knows that she will be able to turn the tides of his evil rule, but will she be in time. As she unraveled the mysteries I found myself captivated, my heart was full (the waltz comes to mind) and then it wasn’t, and I was crying. The author has all the right buttons to make a significant impression with her readers, and this book made me immediately pick up the next. I know I will be sad when this series is over, so I am taking my time and savoring the beautiful world of TOG.

Note: I am following the reading guide created by T.L. Branson and reading in the Romantic/Emotional order.
