Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas (2012)

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Celaena Sardothien is a teenage assassin fighting for freedom. Celaena is in a labor camp after being captured as the nation’s most notorious assassin. The Prince of Adarlan approaches her with the opportunity to compete in a competition to become the King’s Champion and win her freedom. In Throne of Glass, you follow Celaena on her journey through the trials of the competition and life in the castle.


Celaena is the definition of a morally gray character, being a 17 year old assassin who is thrust into a competition pool full of all men who want her dead. In Throne of Glass you follow her journey of growth and self discovery. Maas does an amazing job of making you fall in love with characters and connect to them. While reading, you never want to put the book down as Maas keeps you on your toes, never knowing what will happen next. Throne of Glass will have you diving headfirst into the Sarah J. Maas book universe.
