Young Adult - Fiction - Sarah J. Maas - Bloombury - Throne of Glass Series 1 -
In
the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is
serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her
kind, but she made a fatal mistake: she got caught.
Young
Captain Westfall offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one
huge sacrifice. Celaena must represent the prince in a to-the-death
tournament—fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the
land. Live or die, Celaena will be free. Win or lose, she is about to
discover her true destiny. But will her assassin’s heart be melted?
Pese a que la historia es súper interesante, es un libro que me ha costado meterme en el universo, especialmente, al principio cuando la historia es algo lenta y puede que gran culpa de ello haya sido que estos días el trabajo ha sido agotador. Como ya he comentado antes, lo primero que me llamó la atención de este libro fue la portada, me parece preciosa. Lo siguiente que me llamo la atención es nuestra protagonista, Celaena. Es misteriosa, fuerte, valiente, decidida, atractiva, sarcástica y orgullosa. Su vida no ha sido un camino de rosas y eso se refleja en su carácter. La historia en sí es genial pero sería mejor si fuera un poco más rápida. Tiene un giro cuando llevas un tercio del libro que no me esperaba para nada y hace que la lectura sea más amena y el misterio de los asesinatos te mantiene enganchada hasta el final.
Los chicos en este libro también son muy interesantes...tanto Dorian como Chaol y el conjunto de los tres hace que ésta sea una gran lectura si te gusta las historias de aventuras, acción, misterio, magia y algo de amor, este es un libro que deberías leer.
El final es de infarto, no puedes parar de leer y hace que quieras saber mucho más de este universo. Por suerte hay varios libros de la saga publicados y no hay que esperar mil para leer el segundo.
I have to confess this: when I started this book I was a bit disappointed, the book was slow and I didn't manage to get into it easily but I think my job hasnt helped as has been mad recently.
As I have said before, the first thing I liked about this book was the cover page, the second thing was Celeana, she is a badass. She is beautiful, intelligent, sarcastic, funny, brave and a bit arrogant. Her life hasn't been easy and you can see it in her actitude.
The story is great but I would like it to be a bit faster. When you have read about 1/3 of the book something happens that make all more interesting and easy to read and then there is a sadic and misterious murderer around that makes you keep reading.
The male characters in this book are also great, Dorian and Chaol are best friends and different in more than one way but also impossible to decide who you like most...and when you put both of them and Celaene together is brilliant.
I recommend this book if you like a story that has action, adventure, magic, mystery and romance.
When you're close to the end, all moves faster, you can't stop reading and let you wanting more and more of this universe, luckily we have a few more books in the saga.
"In the garden, the Captain of the Guard stared up at the young woman's balcony, watching as she waltzed alone, lost in her dreams. But he knew her thoughts weren't of him.She stopped and stared upward. Even from a distance, he could see the blush upon her cheeks. She seemed young—no, new. It made his chest ache. Still, he watched, watched until she sighed and went inside. She never bothered to look below."
Next month I won't buy any skincare product, will stay far away from SpaceNK, CultBeauty, Boots or any other shop with this kind of products.
