16 year old Celaena has quite the reputation but she has an attitude to match.  I'm liking her borderline cockiness and stubbornness.  The former will guarantee character growth in coming works and the latter will guarantee loyalty to herself and those who entrust her.Assassins, Sam and Celaena, have been sent on a task by their master.  They are to meet with a Pirate Lord and conduct their master's interests.  When Celaena learns of those interests she is far from pleased and refuses to do the bidding.  An open tab at a tavern, a hole at the bottom of a mug, and a brawl later Celaena's plan to free two hundred slaves is in full swing.I absolutely love Maas's writing style.  Her characters have a unique flare.  Even the Pirate Lord holds appeal so I'm hopping we'll see him again.  And since I am a romance fiend, there is just enough subtle action to hint that there is love on the horizon or at least affection....whether it'll be revealed and or reciprocal is yet to be known.
