Chaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the Captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since the glass castle shattered, since his men were slaughtered, since the King of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken.

His only shot at recovery lies with the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme in Antica—the stronghold of the southern continent's mighty empire. And with war looming over Dorian and Aelin back home, their survival might lie with Chaol and Nesryn convincing its rulers to ally with them.

But what they discover in Antica will change them both—and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.

Sinopsis

"A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached.

It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend."

From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.

Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.

Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

Sinopsis

Tras un año de trabajos forzados en las minas de sal, la joven asesina Celaena Sardothien ha sido convocada por el príncipe del Reino de Endovier. Celaena no ha acudido con la intención de acabar con la vida del príncipe, sino con el deseo de conquistar su libertad. Si vence a veintitrés asesinos, ladrones y guerreros en una competición a vida o muerte, será liberada de prisión para ejercer como campeona real.

El príncipe la aconsejará. El capitán de la guardia la protegerá. Pero algo maligno se esconde en el palacio de cristal, y está allí para matar. Mientras sus competidores van muriendo uno a uno, la lucha de Celaena por conquistar su libertad se convierte en una lucha por sobrevivir y en una incesante búsqueda del origen del mal antes de que destruya el mundo.

La verdad es que tengo que decir que hacía mucho tiempo que un libro no me había enganchado tanto como lo ha hecho este. No solo por su trama, que está cargada de magia y misterio, sino que también por sus personajes carismáticos y únicos.

Me ha encantado la cantidad de acción que hay en el libro, y durante la mayor parte del libro he tenido la sensación de que en cualquier momento iba a saltar de la cama. Es increíble lo fácil que ha sido encariñarse con una asesina. Durante todo el libro ves pedacitos de su personalidad y he de decir que sin duda es algo que me ha encantado. Me ha encantado como la autora ha introducido poco a poco y sin que resultase nada forzado grandes dosis de magia.

"Las bibliotecas estaban llenas de ideas, quizá las armas más peligrosas y poderosas de todas"

Pero lo que destaca en esta novela es sin duda sus personajes. Celaena Sardothien es uno de los personajes más interesantes que he leído en mucho tiempo, digamos que a pesar de que me esperaba a una chica fuerte, por ser la mayor asesina de Endovier, no esperaba que fuera tan… divertida y dulce, pero a la vez inteligente, como supongo que era de esperarse.

Otros personajes que caben destacar son el príncipe heredero de Endovier, Dorian, y el capitán de la Guardia Real, Chaol.

Dorian, es el príncipe heredero, pero es un muchacho mujeriego y especialmente encantador, tanto que todas las damas de la corte caen rendidas a sus pies.

Chaol por otra parte es bastante seco y desagradable con Celaena, pero en el fondo tiene un gran corazón y es muy noble. Espero que en la segunda parte este personaje tenga más protagonismo.

El resto de personajes de la novela son muy interesantes, y me ha encantado la personalidad que les ha dado la autora a cada uno, suponemos que cada personaje se comporta de tal manera por un propósito, y eso es algo que me ha encantado.

"–¿Qué sentido tiene tener un cerebro si no lo usas para hacer juicios? –preguntó Celaena.–¿Qué sentido tiene tener un corazón si no lo usas para ahorrarle a los demás los duros juicios de su cerebro? –respondió Dorian." 

He de decir que en esta novela no se encuentra el amor como historia central, sino en cómo va evolucionando Celaena en el castillo, y con el resto de los personajes. Pero me imagino que en la segunda parte irá comenzando a florecer el romance. Aunque sinceramente creo que esta historia puede funcionar sin un romance, pero he de decir que estoy a favor del amor.

Lo único que me ha decepcionado un poco ha sido la falta de descripciones que hay en ciertos momentos, sí que describe bien los sucesos y los lugares, pero me hubiera encantado que hubiera un poco más.

Eso sí, no puedo esperar para leer la segunda parte.

Y vosotros, ¿qué os ha parecido? ¿Os ha gustado? Contadme^^
