      Throne of Glass is the story of a female assassin named Celaena Sardothien, the most notorious assassin in Erilea.   She is taken from her place in prison by the Crown Prince of Adarlan, the main conquering force of Erilea.  Dorian Haviallard, the prince, offers her a deal.  If she competes in a competition as his champion, she will be freed from the terrible prison after four years in the king's service.  Celaena agrees.        From there, the story follows Celaena as she re-trains her body and becomes a great assassin once again.  She competes in the contest to be the King's Champion along with twenty-three other people of various criminal professions, all while hiding her own identity. Celaena trains with Chaol, the captain of the guard, in the mornings, and rarely sees the prince except for during the trials.  Her bond with Chaol is predictable, as well as with the attractive prince.  This is where my issue with the story comes in.        For starters, while I do

One of my history assignments a while ago was to read The Scarlett Letter.  This story is definitely a highly referenced story, and I think everyone's heard at least a little about it, but I didn't read it until it came up for history.  The story was good, although some of the older books are hard to read because of the complete difference in vocabulary and writing style.  Overall, I liked this book and would recommend it for a read if you haven't already, but it probably won't be one that I'll be re-reading anytime soon.
