The time it was a Throne of Glass giveaway

Here we are for another post as a Throne of Glass Ambassador. [I love that title.] Today's post is a giveaway!

Up for grabs?

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another.

Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

That's right.  Bloomsbury is graciously providing five [that's right, FIVE!] paperback copies of Throne of Glass.

 

The winners will give me their mailing info and I will give it to Bloomsbury, the books will come from them.  It is US only.  Additional rules are on the Rafflecopter widget.

**Good Luck!!**

    Congratulations! Awesome title and holyballs a giveaway! Celaena is so strong but she's realistic and filled with flaws. I love her journey. She's such a great heroine.

    Weeeee, two more days!

    YAY for you! I'm completely jealous that you got chosen to be an Ambassador - especially since I've already read Crown of Midnight!

    I love the Celaena is completely badass! But she's still human and imperfect. I did NOT like her in the second of Crown of Midnight though. She needs to lighten up on Chaol.

    Thank you for the giveaway! I totally want a paperback to match my CoM hardcover ;)

    Love the giveaway! I love that Celeana is an assassin. I feel like that's really original, when YA is littered with vampires, witches, zombies, etc

      Celaena being an assassin is probably one of my favorite part of her as a character. Like you said, much different than what's out there now!

    I love everything about her, but probably my favorite quality is after everything she has gone through she still hasn't given up. She has so much determination and I love that about her. I also love that she can kick anyone butt if she wants to :)!!!

    Congrats on being chosen an ambassador. I'm super jealous. I love so much about Celeana. Her name, her fiercenss, the fact that she can kick everyone's butt and that she still looks amazing doing it. And that she also embraces her girl side.

    THAT SHE'S A TOTAL FUCKING BADASS, OF COURSE!

    But seriously, I like that despite the fact that she's small, she gives just as good as she gets. Gives us shorties (as in small in stature, not like "hey, shawtie") a good name, yo!

    I'm so proud you're an ambassador because you rock all the socks!

    *prancy dances besides the cyber man*

    Heart you big time, KP!

    Loved Celaena in Throne of Glass - she is so badass and fights through everything - never gives up. Cannot wait to read Crown of Midnight!

    The first thing that popped into my mind was her strength, she's such a strong character yet realistic and humane. And her name is pretty dang awesome too!
