Sarah J. Maas’s Throne of Glass is well
written intriguing tale of love, magic, and survival that I couldn’t put down.
All she
wanted was freedom. “Run and disappear into the mountains and live in solitude
in the dark green wild, with a pine needle carpet and a blanket of stars
overhead” she once said. But Adarlan’s greatest assassin is kept in the salt
mines, preventing her to fulfill her dream. When the prince offers to sponsor
her in a contest that could make her free after five years of servitude to the
king that sits on the throne of glass, she takes it. But first she must win the
contest to become the King’s Champion. Her name is Celaena Sordothien.
Celaena lives in a fictional world where tyrants rule. Unfortunately many nations are ruled by tyrants. Many of those tyrants get others to do their dirty-work for them, and if Celaena wins the contest she will be doing the dirty-work. In this world there are remnants of magic, like Stonehenge. In hers there are ruins, strange magical symbols. The name of her world is Erilea, ours is Earth. The two worlds are similar but different.
I loved the book Throne of Glass. It is a brilliantly written novel, and it never gets boring. This book had me filled with suspense. It is filled with action, bravery, romance, and magic. If you like any of those things, you really ought to read Throne of Glass.

As I started the book I wondered if I could enjoy a book about an assassin. Thankfully it generally wasn't gory and just about killing. I loved this book and loved the characters. If you read it afterwards check out a Kindle to read 4 short stories that give more background.
ReplyDeleteThis is a wonderful review and it makes me excited to read the book. It sounds like a story I would like, filled with adventure, romance, and most of all magic. Thank you for introducing me to this book!
ReplyDeleteSounds like a really cool book Rebekah! Is it super mushy gushy though or more action filled? I can stand a little romance, but if the whole book is centered around it then I find it a little to....blah ;)Thanks for introducing a book that I've never heard of before!
ReplyDeleteNatalie don't worry it is not super mushy gushy, thought I thought you liked that. It is two boys like her and she is not interested. It is more action filled, so don't worry.
