The Assassin's Curse by Cassandra Rose Clarke

4.0

First I would like to say if you are into high fantasy books set in a world full of magic, wizards, curses, runaway brides, independent women, pirates and assassins then look no further.
I dove into this book without any knowledge of what I was getting into. You ought to know I love the unknown feeling I get when diving into a book that I haven't read the synopsis of. I picked this book because 1) It is a library book 2) It is due very soon 3) I exceeded the amount of time I am able to renew the book. I am glad I did read it because I put it off for so long. It was such a fantastic read. It was unique heart-wrenching (Talking about the ending/last chapter) and full of mysteries. A page turner, I could not put it down but when I had to I could not stop thinking about the story.
What I liked about The Assassin's Curse.
I like how she dragged the story which made my anticipation grow stronger every second. I like the main characters. Ananna is so strong headed, independent, witty and so full of hopes. Naji is so full of mysteries and so brooding. I also like how the author found a way to make him insecure. Naji is so dark and nothing seems to faze him but when it comes to the scar that run across his cheek; this little abnormality makes him more real to me.
I was really impressed by the Assassin's curse even though it took me long while to get used to Ananna's way of speaking. Asides from that I highly recommend if you are in need of new setting or interest or if you are seeking a great story that will live with you long after you finished it.
