Throne of Glass

I expected so much more out of this book. The plot was predictable and the characters were just bad. I have never before met an assassin who has an obsession for....clothes shopping? Seriously? And how does she have an issue with being a murderer when she's an ASSASSIN. Does she not kill people? I'm confused. Maybe I am just too used to assassins who are bad-ass and well...kill people and prefer knives and swords over pretty pink clothes. Magic was trickled into this story with too little back story. We were introduced to the fae, I think, and were told of Calaena having some sort of power, but we never see or hear of it again. I thought this book would predominately focus on her training and tests, but instead these more interesting parts were glossed over for a weak love triangle that made me want to gag, cliche after cliche. Not a series I will continue.
