"Knowing it is my favorite book, for my 34th birthday, a boyfriend once gave me a signed first edition of Erica Jong’s Fear of Flying. Having always read tattered paperback versions, I had no idea the original was adorned with a spectacularly ornate cover that’s evocative of a Hieronymus Bosch. I’m not a big collector of anything but no matter how often I pare down my belongings, I never get rid of this. (Even though the boyfriend was long-ago lost to history, his accompanying birthday card remains tucked inside the book.)"

I am so happy that I bought this paperback at Penned Con this year as I couldn't be more happier. The story line is beautifully written and the characters are extraordinary. I was swept away by both the young and now grown Baylin and Luana. As soon as I submit this review I will be buying the next book. Though all three books come in one I opted for this one as I love the cover. This was the first book I've read written by this author and I look forward to reading all of her other books.

Oh my god!! If you have not picked this up and you like fantasy novels, do it right now. Stop what you are doing and read this book!!! It is full of badassery, not too much romantic stuff, and magic. In the battle to find out which person will be crowned the King's Champion, lots of mystery and intrigue happens to our main heroine, Celaena Sandorthien. What is even cooler about this, there are pronunciation guides in the back of the book (at least in the paperback edition). I can't wait to start on the next one!!
