THRONE OF GLASS BY: SARAH J. MAAS


Celaena Sardothien is the best assassin around. She’s brave, smart, tough, and had trained for it all her life. Though one day, Celaena is captured and taken to a death camp where very few to none survive. The experiences at the death camp is appalling, and Celaena has scars to remind her of the horrors that she faced. Though one day she is dragged from this camp by the Crown Prince Dorian, where he gives her two options; stay there and die or fight to be the King’s Champion.
Celaena is now thrown into a world she never could imagine as she fights for her freedom in a cruel game. As this brutal competition happens, something dark is lurking within the castle walls, and Celaena could be the only one to save them all. Celeana is now the key player in trying to stop this dark force. Now Celeana is fighting two battles, and loosing either, could result in deadly consequences. Celaena needs to choose her allies wisely as she learns to trust no one for not everyone is who they say they are.

 

First off, let’s admire this beautiful cover. I’m so glad they redid them for I feel they now give a new element to the books. It shows just how powerful Celaena’s character is. After all, she didn’t earn the title of being one of the best assassins for anything.
I thoroughly enjoyed this book and the complex characters. The world building is fantastic and easy to fall into.  Though warning, it is a page turner. So only read it if you plan to dedicate hours and hours into it without putting the book down once.

The plot is fast pace and will leave you guessing at every turn of the page. That is what I found to be really enjoyable about this book. Once I thought I knew what was going to happen, nope, the storyline was thrown in a completely different direction.

The characters are all easy likable and honestly I cannot choose a favorite. I cannot wait to read the second book Crown of Midnight and see were the amazing series takes me.
Over all I would give this book a 4/5 stars and highly recommend this book to anyone looking for a fast pace fantasy read.
