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.

I liked the world building and the characters. It was hard to go from ACOTAR to a more YA book, however, I did like it and plan to keep reading more in the future.

This book was amazing and full of action and I loved the combat scenes and that amazing ending. After reading this I don't even know what characters to trust or to hate.

This was so good. I’m really excited to read the rest of the series and I’ve heard it only gets better! I love Celaena and the boss that she is. She doesn’t need to be saved because she’s capable, strong, smart, and can do it herself. Let’s go!!! The King’s champion is quite the task for someone. There were beautiful friendships made within this book and a wonderful foundation laid for this world and complicated kingdom. I see a love triangle forming? Dorian is charming and Chaol is so good too!! Also, I can’t wait to learn more about magic or gifts that are to come. Great character development and definitely a book to start out a series. I know so many questions will be answered. I want Celaena’s backstory, although it’ll be so sad. Give me more info about Nehemia. We hate the king. Duh. Where does Chaol stand. How is Dorian so willing to just let it be?!!! Aghhh also gimme more details on the mark!! Immediately diving into the next one.

I really enjoyed Throne of Glass! It reminded me a little bit of the Hunger Games vibe with the competition but obviously a little different. There's a lot of context that maybe doesn't feel important right off the bat but this series is a lot of build up and this is just the beginning. Whether its the plot or even a little bit of romance, you'll get your answers but you'll need to be patient.

I was not a huge fan of ACOTR so I thought I’d try a different Sarah J Maas series. I found this one equally entertaining to read but not particularly well written and with fairly preposterous characters. People say that both 2nd books in the series are better than the first but not sure I’ve got the heart in me to read on and find out…
