Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass #4) by Sarah J. Maas-645 pages

I continue to enjoy reading through this series. Aelin Galathynius, the rightful Queen of Terrasen, continues her quest to defeat the King of Adarlan and his forces. She forges alliances with new and familiar alike. I enjoyed the twists and turns and the ending. I look forward to reading the next book in this series, Empire of Storms.

The story of Celaena Sardothien, King's Champion and Adarlan's Assassin, continues in this third volume of the "Throne of Glass" series. In this book, Celaena is off in Wendlyn where she was sent by the King of Adarlan at the end of the last novel. Celaena is taken by Rowan, a Fae warrior and prince, beyond Wendlyn to Fae lands to meet her aunt Maeve. Maeve is Queen of Doranelle. Chaol and Dorian run into some trouble in Adarlan. Celaena unlocks her true magical potential and gains confidence in herself and her abilities. This story is told from many perspectives and new voices are added, including Manon, who is a Blackbeak witch, and Sorscha, who is a healer in the King's glass castle. I enjoyed reading this book and have enjoyed the series so far. I am very interested in seeing where Maas takes this story in the next volume, "Queen of Shadows."

I enjoyed reading Throne of Glass, so I wanted to read the second in the long series by Maas. This one did not disappoint. In fact, I found this second installment even more thrilling and enjoyable. I especially liked the ending. A secret is revealed at the end that will change Adarlan, Terrasen, and all of Erilea forever. Celaena is a character that I am rooting for, along with Chaol and Dorian. This secret revealed will change the nature of their relationship forever, also.

Celaena Sardothien is the best assassin in Adarlan, even though she's only 18. She's been serving the past year in the salt mines of Endovier doing hard labor after her family was betrayed. Now, the Crown Prince Dorian Havilliard, has summoned her to offer a proposition. He offers Celaena her freedom if she'll fight as his champion to become the new Royal assassin. However, fellow assassins and competitors start turning up dead and Celaena is concerned she could be next. Who is killing the other competitors and why? I have read Maas's "A Court of Thorns and Roses" series and have anticipated reading this series for a while. I am finally getting to it and, so far, I have not been disappointed. I eagerly await reading the second book in this series.
