Throne of Glass

Throne of Glass is an exciting, action-packed fantasy that centers around Celaena Sardothien, an assassin with a sharp wit, complex past, and fierce determination. The story’s character development is especially compelling, with Celaena standing out as a strong, multi-layered protagonist who evolves with each twist of the plot. Each character's journey feels fully realized, adding depth and relatability. The growth of the main cast, especially Celaena, creates a dynamic storyline that keeps readers invested, while the world-building and pacing make it a gripping start to the series.

Dorian was my fav character, he’s funny. I really enjoyed it and can’t wait to read the others

Great start to the series

The character of Celaena is complex and multi-layered which both intrigued me and confused me. She has a mysterious past which I hope we uncover. The whole storyline regarding the castle challenges was action packed. The friendships between Dorian, Chaol and Celaena was also interesting

Celaena Sardothien is a complex, character. She doesn't take any nonsense, is constantly thinking of her next move and the benefits to her of a particular situation. Yet she has a vulnerability that stops her from being unlikeable. The supporting characters are intriguing and the end of the book leaves you wanting to know more about them. There is some world building within the book, with descriptions that are vivid and longing to be expanded upon. The plot is twisty and you know there is more to this story than meets the eye. There are undercurrents of dark, sinister plot twists that do not quite come to fruition in this story, but the sense of foreboding builds really well.
I would recommend this book and am looking forward immensely to reading the rest of the series - a really promising start to a fantasy novel series

I loved reading it because it had a lot of surprising plot twists that I didn’t expect and the main character is a powerful heroine who has amazing character development throughout the series. I also loved the fantasy world it was set in and learning more about it. I would say it is 14+

Awesome book

Fab book! Almost forgot it was teen fiction. Characters, strong female lead, the supernatural element, fast paced narrative. I'm now reading the next one.

I thought that this was the best book I have read so far. I loved how Celaena was so strong and although she went through so many hardships, she still survived. She had a sense of humour even though the terrors she went through were very hurtful. She slipped away from death many times and still was not scared.

This book is definitely not my favorite book, but I don't hate it either. The idea of the dead queen like haunting her or guiding her or whatever isn't interesting at all and is kind of annoying. My least favorite character is Celaena because I feel like she's so arrogant and thinks so highly of herself for literally no reason. My favorite character is Dorian because he's so funny, and even though he's a prince, and his dad is a really cruel king, he's very nice. I wouldn't really recommend this book to other people though because it's boring and honesty reading about Celaena is really annoying.

A brilliant read - couldn't wait to continue reading this series.
I would recommend this collection of novels.

I loved this book! Magic is a repeating theme throughout this book though the King of Adarlan had long destroyed all traces of magic. A lot of this book revolves around Wyrdmarks and who can use these symbols.
I like all of the main characters - Celaena is an assassin with a heart,
Dorian is the Crown Prince, son of the hated King of Adarlan, Chaol is a seemingly cold Captain of the Guard and Nehemia is a kind Princess of Eyllwe- Celaena's true friend.

pretty good, nice start to a series, too many exclamation marks

i think it an awesome book

It's a gripping book until the very last sentence, I couldn't put it down

Amazing!

Really interesting plot with good integration of mythical themes. I would recommend reading Assassins Blade before this as you will have a better understanding of the plot, how the characters have got there and you feel more attached to the characters too.

Ok book but just not my style!

I really enjoyed this book as I loved the world that was based around the book. I really liked how the lead protaginst was a female and that she was an asssasin! The book consisted of romance and fighting scenes... I would recommend it to anyone who is interested in fantasy.

This is one of the best fantasy female lead books. The main character Celena is inspirational with her strong willed attitude to any challenges that come her way with Ofcourse romance fitted in her busy life of an assasain.
Everyone should read this book.

It was full of action and I never got bored.
