Description

Lethal. Loyal. Legendary.

Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in the #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.

Her name is Celaena Sardothien.

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. But something rotten dwells in the castle, and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena's fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival-and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 bestselling series that has captivated readers worldwide.

    It was such a good book and I highly recommend reading Assassins Blade first so you understand what’s going on and why it’s so important.

  • Got me hooked

    Clever twists. The main character was explained well, but not exhaustively. I liked that writer gave her not only good love interests, but developed friendships with men and women, so it didn’t seem that every man she met was blown away/in love with her. I do think her character could have been a bit more aggressive/intimidating, given her occupation. Excited to read more of the series!

  • Brushes the surface of fantasy

    Poorly written, obvious plot, a bit too corny for what it is. Didn’t live up to the hype.

    This is the third series I have read of Sarah J Maas. While you can tell she wrote most of these prior to ACOTAR. The books are still amazing but she sometimes adds these ‘!’ That dilutes the seriousness needed for an “older” audience (late 20s & up). As you read further into the series you can see her writing evolve it just keeps getting better! READ THESE

    Could not put it down! I can’t wait to read the second one. This book has taken several hours of sleep from me just so I could continue the story. Mystery and intriguing plot with a dash of romance this book has it all even horror. A very enchanting start to the series.

  • okay

    I thought the writing seemed to reveal exactly what was going to happen. Nothing seems new to me or exciting. It’s an okay read, the characters weren’t the worst, they just felt rushed.

  • My favorite series now!

    This was the best, thrilling, and enticing first book in a series! I couldn’t put it down! This got me out of my reading slump and back into reading more frequently. I’m so excited to keep reading this series and have only ever heard good things about this book! This book lives up to the hype and doesn’t let you down! Whenever I thought that I knew what was going to happen there was an amazing plot twist, and kept me on the edge of my seat!

  • An okay read

    I read the physical copy of the book. My review is based on it. I have not purchased this digital copy. It took me over a month to finish this one. It felt boring and dragging most of the time. Not for everyone but I’d recommend it if your a fan of the author
