二十四名來自各地的盜賊、刺客和戰士,十三週嚴峻殘酷、暴虐無道的訓練和試驗。一場以鋼鐵意志相爭的生死決鬥,將鍛造出一個無所畏懼的強大靈魂。

在瑟蕾娜‧薩達錫恩被同伴背叛之前,天地之大足以讓她四海為家。如今為了掙脫鹽礦裡的囚徒生活,她不得不參加皇室舉辦的生死決鬥,以性命作代價爭取擔任國王御前鬥士的名譽,也許之後能重獲自由。她曾是亞達蘭王國最強的刺客,但經歷過受人奴役、虐待的一年後,她儘管聰敏機智如昔,體力卻不比常人。她原以為恢復體力與磨練刺殺技巧是當前最緊要的任務,沒想到宮廷裡權謀暗鬥之狠毒竟遠遠超出她的預期。邪惡將玻璃城堡過往的驕傲歷史蒙上一層陰霾,太多陰謀在暗處蠢蠢欲動,在死亡的四面包圍下,誰能全身而退?

A poor mystery, but still a fun experience

3 stars

There are a lot of problems with the books. The characters are paper thin, the "mystery" is as easy to solve as a mystery in a child's book. Celaena frankly, isn't that good of an assassin if people can keep sneaking into her room at night, etc. Those are just the more egregious problems that kept nagging at me. But, despite the problems, I enjoyed this book. It's nothing great, in fact, I would say at best, it's mediocre. It's enjoyable, though. I had fun reading it, and at the end of the day, that's good enough.

3/5 = Mediocre
