I am going to be completely honest when I started Throne of Glass, I was a little bored. The beginning of the book had a slow start and I had trouble getting started with the book. Boy am I glad that I stuck with it!! The story revolves around 3 Main Characters to Start Celaena Sardothien, Prince Dorian Havilliard, and Captain Chaol Westfall.

***** SPOILERS BELOW!! ******


Dorian starts by getting Celaena out of Prison, Where she was placed for being an Assassin by Dorian's father. Dorian enlists Celaena to become his assassin in a competition given by his father. She must beat all other contestants and then serve as the King's Assassin for 5 years to gain her freedom. The book has intrigue, action, little bit of love, and it keeps you hooked to the page.


Once the story gets going you will not be able to put the book down. I'll let you know to buy all of the series at once if you can because You will immediately want to pick up the next book in the series once you are done the first.

Sucker Punch's open-world game, set during the 13th century Mongol invasion of Japan, and in which the player takes on the role of the samurai Jin Sakai, who must go against the way of his ancestors and his training to stop said invasion.

Think Assassin's Creed (though you're not an assassin. Not that the later entries in that series had you as being one anyway ...), but without the whole Animus concept, or the underpinning Assassin/Templar conflict or the modern day elements.

It's also quite immersive with the Guiding Wind concept leading you to whatever location you had set, instead of cluttering up the screen with a HUD, and the story itself is well told.

Now to try out the Iki Island expansion ...

In book 3 of Assassination Classroom, there are multiple attempts to take out the monster teacher. The female assassin is still there, trying to kill and teach. We are introduced to get another character, this time being an A.I. unit that tries its hand at assassination. There is also some time spent on a lesson about getting revenge.

Book Favorite

"Has anyone ever even read it? (Cf. the above!) Savage truths about the human condition are laid out in hyper-realistic, logical prose; after the first page one knows one’s in the methodical hands of a master assassin-surgeon. It comforts, even if at the end, the operation is a success but the patient (it is us) has died."

"I have got to say Man on Fire. Again, it’s another assassin movie, but Denzel…that was one of my favorite performances from him. And I think the film was shot really stylistically; I don’t know what kind of filter they had on the camera, or what they used, but it just had this really cool element to it."
