Episch und atmosphärisch

Celaena Sardothien ist jung, schön und zum Tode verurteilt. Doch dann taucht Chaol Westfall, Captain der Leibgarde, auf und bietet ihr eine einzige Chance zum Überleben. Kronprinz Dorian hat sie dazu ausersehen, einen tödlichen Wettkampf zu bestreiten: Wenn es ihr gelingt, für ihn 23 kampferprobte Männer zu besiegen, wird sie ihre Freiheit wiedererlangen. Beim gemeinsamen Training mit Captain Westfall findet sie immer mehr Gefallen an dem jungen, geheimnisvollen Mann. Und auch der Kronprinz lässt sie nicht kalt. Zeit, über ihre Gefühle nachzudenken, bleibt ihr allerdings nicht. Denn etwas abgrundtief Böses lauert im Dunkeln des Schlosses – und es ist da, um zu töten.

But someone, or something, is picking off candidates even outside of the competitions designed to winnow out the unworthy. Celaena's heart is also pulled into two directions, between the overtly romantic Dorian and the steadfast Chaol.

The major drawback to the book is that it's so clearly written to be part of a series. For instance, from very early on, I started to suspect that Maas …
