The first book is so painfully and pervasively feminine that I couldn't continue reading after about 70 pages.
Minor early spoilers:
Main character has no family, was found unconscious on the banks of a frozen river, and has been training as an assassin since she was 8. She's the best assassin in the entire region. She was captured and worked in a brutal salt mine for a year where most people die within weeks or months. She tried to escape once fully believing that she would die in the attempt.
She gets out of the salt mines for two weeks and she acts like a spoiled, flirty schoolgirl at every opportunity.
Continual excessive detail about clothing on multiple occasions. Continual lustfully looking at people while they're lustfully looking back. The straw that broke the camel's back for me was her whining about uncomfortable shoes.
I had to put it down.
uodate: finished the entire series in a month and let me tell ya, folks. this is a series you can read over and over again. I disagree with reviews saying it is inappropriate for tor teenagers, it isn't. Yes, there are a few sex scenes, but who cares? Sex education exists for a reason.
The setting is a corrupt, decadent imperial court. The preceding decade has been one of successful and brutal conquest. The ultimate goal of the conquering king is unclear and definitely unknown to the protagonists. It could be A] the establishment of a gulag state, B] the establishment of largescale slavery or even C} genocide and recolonization (with the protagonists in the role of native Americans).
The first book is primarily concerned with a contest to become King's Champion (the royal assassin). The main female lead is forced into this and is the eventual winner (so to speak). There are two male leads, who are/were friends and become romantic rivals for the female lead. An important plot point is that the social world of their childhoods has been replaced with one whose #1 survival imperative is Trust No One. This undermines their friendship beyond that of their romantic rivalry. Be prepared for lots of angst. It's a decent story, but read The Hunger Games, instead.
The second story is better. There is a nice "Who's the traitor?" plotline, along with the assassin's faking the deaths of her assigned victims and the associated coverups. Good fun. There is more of the expected emotional tribulations you would expect. The characters show an understanding of their social situation. They know what will be allowed them and what will never be allowed them, but the reader is inflicted with far to much whining about it.
I have read the first thirteen chapters of the third book, with no story to report. The main character has moved to another continent on a assignment. There's way too much emotional drama and her two male compatriots have been left behind. It has been revealed to the reader that the protagonist is 1/8 Fae, though raised among humans. A Fae aristocrat has been introduced (apparently as a mentor character). The main protagonist already had a mentor, frequently referred to but not seen. I noticed that the protagonist made no attempt to contact the previous mentor.
Had I been editor, I would have recommended that the entire first thirteen chapters go into the "Deleted Scenes" folder and that the main protagonist never be sent away from the primary setting. Just tell your story. The ultralong prelude caused me to lose all interest in the characters and events.
It's a rare event that I don't read a book to the end. i really would have liked a "Story begins at Chapter #" label. I doubt I will read any more of this, or the other five books of this package. Harsh recommendation against!

The 1 star is for the condition of the box. I've only finished the first book so I cannot review the series yet.
