Still, the image haunted his dreams throughout the night: a lovely girl gazing at the stars, and the stars who gazed back.

Read this review on my blog! --&gt; <a href="http://gonewiththewords.com/2013/03/29/jryfb-review-throne-of-glass-by-sarah-j-maas/" rel="nofollow noopener">Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas</a> Throne of Glass was selected for me to read by Alexa of Alexa Loves Books. I hadn’t realized how much I missed a good historical fantasy story until I started reading Throne of Glass. Alexa, thank you SO much for making this your pick! Throne of Glass had so many elements I love in stories like these. It had intrigue, and romance, and a girl who can kick lots of butt! I felt this story was a combination of other great books with strong heroines. Poison Study, Graceling, The Hunger Games…Throne of Glass can join those ranks. The world-building was also very interesting, but I am looking forward to learning more about the magic side of things, hopefully in the next book. I thought Celaena was an interesting character. She was charming and at times a little childish, but I never got annoyed with her, which was good. I found her very endearing and felt like I would indulge her, like a little sister. She was very smart and skilled at being kick-ass in general. I think I am definitely going to be reading the prequel novellas though, to get more familiarized with her backstory as this books jumps in when she’s already spent a year in “prison.” This book’s love interests (yes, plural!) were a bit confusing to me for a while. I couldn’t really tell where things were going with either of them. But by the end I was totally on board with one certain one. Team Chaol, where you at?! :D On the one hand, Celaena is really physically attracted to Prince Dorian, but he’s kind of like the forbidden fruit, with her being an assassin and possible the King’s Champion next. While she’s really infatuated with him, Dorian believes himself completely in love with her. And then we have Chaol, the Captain of the Guard. There isn’t really anything romantic between them for a while, but I think this pairing has the substance to last if it does happen. There is respect there, and friendship, and definitely some longing. I look forward to see how their relationship blossoms (hopefully) in the next book. Throne of Glass was an exciting story with mystery, magic, and romance. It’s also the beginning to what I imagine is going to be an even more intense sequel, and I, for one, can’t wait to read it. {2014} Audiobook reread complete! Still a great story, though narrator tended to get shouty at times. Like, chill out, dude. Shouting does not equal vehemence.

In a land without magic, where the king rules with an iron hand, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She comes not to kill the king, but to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three killers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she is 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. But something evil dwells in the castle of glass—and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying 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.

Throne of Glass #1

I was expecting so much from all the hype but I struggled a lot with finishing it. I didn’t feel very connected to the characters and was sooooo confused with ever related to magic and those mystery runes

The book that started the phenomenon. Sarah J. Maas's global #1 bestselling THRONE OF GLASS series has taken the world by storm. Meet Celaena Sardothien. Beautiful. Deadly. Destined for greatness. In the dark, filthy salt mines of Endovier, an eighteen-year-old girl is serving a life sentence. She is a trained assassin, the best of her kind, but she made a fatal mistake. She got caught. Young Captain Westfall offers her a deal: her freedom in return for one huge sacrifice. Celaena must represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament - fighting the most gifted thieves and assassins in the land. Live or die, Celaena will be free. Win or lose, she is about to discover her true destiny. But will her assassin's heart be melted?

Will I read the next book? Yes. Am I ashamed by it? Also yes. I wish I could rate this a 2.75. This book, while the world building is great and the storyline keeps you entertained… ugh I just cannot stand the way the main character is written. She’s a frail 18 year old but can physically overthrow 300 pound men? Why not write with more creativity. She’s meant to be a badass who doesn’t take any shit but then pouts at a handsome man :/ did I also blush and squeal………… 😛 superficial read, if you want something with depth or something more than lukewarm tap water literature, this is not a book for you. Nonetheless I shall keep reading, hoping for more. anyway, hopefully we see a good character redemption for this woman, please, I’m begging.

I’m deeply sorry to everyone but I didn’t like the characters (except Nehemia and the dog) or the writing style. I did like the final battle/climax but there’s no way she would’ve survived that long  

Zachary Roberts

Rebecca you were right I did love this book and I’m going to LOVE the whole entire series!!!!

ophelia ross 

I looooooooove Throne of Glass!!!!! I like it way more than the ACOTAR series.

Shauni Wuyts

Loved the characters and story! Can’t wait for the next one! 

Taylor Silveira 

The world building is lovely. Celaena can be a bit grating at times, but she’s 18 so that’s to be expected. As is typical of Sarah J Maas books, I occasionally find myself getting frustrated and wanting to put it down. Overall, I deeply enjoy the characters and world. The writing style just is not my favorite.

Cenedra

Loved loved loved, so glad I finally got round to this series love the world and the characters, really sucked me in

I've read far far far better fantasy books on wattpad. I could never read this actually, I just listened to the FRENCH audiobook. I don’t have enough respect for this book in order to make the effort of reading it (or listening to it) in English. But i'll probably read the second book, because I need to direct my hate somewhere, and these are the perfect books to hate.

I didn’t find the narrative very compelling, but still had some fun character dynamics despite some of the cliches. Fun read!

Emilee Keawe Oldroyd

So far I love the main character. Very different for Acotar but I’m excited to see where this series goes! 

Leah Diaz 

This months book club pick was Throne Of Glass & I’m not mad about it because I have been meaning to read this series for a long time! I did like it but am ready for it to get into the story more. The world building & setup is my favorite part of story telling & this first book just didn’t have enough of it for me but I have a feeling that will come in time!

Mariah crawford

To be honest just continuing to read because I saw too many fanart edits on TikTok about TOG but none of the names from this book were mentioned and I fear a few Tamlin-ACOTAR-like plot twists coming 🙃

Hannah L 

she’s just a girl in a castle, who has a crush on the prince. 

neele

fun easy read! i’m excited about what it’s setting up for the rest of the series 

Kadison Cole

Great book. Solid opening to a series. Really enjoyed the character development and different perspectives. 

Kyle James

Celeana Sardothien is the world’s most famous assassin who was destined to die in a salt mine unless she accepted the bargain the Princeling offered her. But there is a catch: she has to pass the duels against the other lords’ champions.

This book has reminded me of V.E. Schwab’s Shades of Magic series, particularly the heroines, who bear a striking resemblance. Perhaps that’s why I’ve enjoyed this book so far. Despite some illogical events occurring in the story, I find it overall to be a pleasant read.

Really good start to the series! I’m enjoying these characters more than ACOTAR so far, as well as the slow burn into all of the new lore. 

Paige Paul

Although a slow start, the story definitely ramped up toward the end. I cannot wait to dive deeper into the craziness of the colliding worlds and to see how to love triangle unfolds. So far I am team Chaol.
