Aelin of the Throne of Glass series (Not a review)

So, am like super craaaazzzzyyy about the main character of this book series, Aelin Galathynius aka Celaena Sardothien. I love her like crazy. She is probably the basis for the character of my alter ego. She is strong, smart, beautiful and above all, an assassin (WHAAAAAT!!!). It's just crazy mehn. Can't for the final book though. cos its taking so much time.

Other characters that caught my attention are:

• Dorian Havilliard: The fine prince turned king with crazy magical power.. Former muse of Aelin and future muse of Manon.
• Chaol Westfall: Second love of Aelin presently dating Nesyn Faliq
• Aedion Ashryver: Aelin's cousin who is ready to be whatever she wants him to be but kind of into the shapeshifter Lysandra.
• Rowan Whitethorn: Our super good looking Fae. Aelin' last (i hope) and only "true love".

Come to think of it, Aelin sort of got around alot.... But she's like that kind of ex you can't help but stay friends with. Well guys, that's all i have got to say about these books. for those who have not seen it, you can find it (probably) at 4shared.com. Don't forget to share you ideas on what you think about them... kisses.
