Publisher's Summary
A New York Times and Indie Best Seller!
Perfect for fans of Sarah J. Maas and Red Queen, this is the first novel in a sweeping YA fantasy-romance duet about a deadly assassin, his mysterious apprentice, and the country they are sworn to protect from number one NYT best-selling author Melissa de la Cruz.
Caledon Holt is the kingdom's deadliest weapon. No one alive can best him in speed, strength, or brains, which is why he's the Hearthstone Guild's most dangerous member. Cal is also the Queen's Assassin, bound to her by magic and unable to leave her service until the task she's set for him is fulfilled.
Shadow of the Honey Glade has been training all her life to join the Guild, hoping that one day she'll become an assassin as feared and revered as Cal. But Shadow's mother and aunts expect her to serve the crown as a lady of the Renovian Court.
When a surprise attack brings Shadow and Cal together, they're forced to team up as assassin and apprentice. Even though Shadow's life belongs to the court and Cal's belongs to the queen, they cannot deny their attraction to each other. But now, with war on the horizon and true love at risk, Shadow and Cal will uncover a shocking web of lies that will change their paths forever.
What the critics say
“de la Cruz’s trademark tight construction, detailed world building, and action-packed romance are all at work in this sure-to-be-popular new series.” (Booklist)
"A classic plucky heroine fantasy in the vein of Tamora Pierce and Kristin Cashore." (Kirkus Reviews)
“The action-packed narrative captures readers’ attention from the start, expertly weaving plot twists, betrayal, magical elements, and traces of humor throughout.” (School Library Journal)

good story
The love story part was predictable and really angsty (teenage woe is me, my life is over angst), the story was good though.
The accents were odd, they only had them when they were speaking aloud and not at other times. It didn't take away from the story, just odd.

Could not finish
Accents were a bit weird and i dont think necessary.
The idea was good. But the story and the characters made no sense. You can tell what kind of interactions the author wants to portrait but it just makes not sense the way its done.
