Description

Lethal. Loyal. Legendary.

Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in the #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be 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. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. But something rotten dwells in the castle, and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, 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.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated readers worldwide.

    Sarah just steals my breath away book after book. I can’t even begin to explain how wonderful this book is. A whirlwind of a beginning. I can’t wait to read the rest of this series.

  • Not what I expected

    Super super slow and no real action found myself glazing over parts just to get to the end.

  • A Favorite

    This is the type of book that makes you forget you’re reading. It doesn’t even feel like a movie, it feels like you’re there, watching everything happen. HIGHLY recommend for fantasy lovers! :)

    Mary Sue main character. It doesn’t feel like she’s an assassin.

  • Overly Ambitious but entertaining

    Perhaps this is because I am reading this directly after ACOTAR, but the writing just did not do it for me. The emotional descriptions were not very compelling or detailed, and it felt like there was so much missing context. Overall, I think it was a bit too ambitious, trying to fit such huge stakes, tension, and complexities into the story, that the writing just couldn’t fully encompass.

  • Just started re reading this series bc I love it so much

    I absolutely loved the “court of thorns and roses” series and had high hopes for this book! The characters do seem a little flat, but I remember feeling the same in the first book of SJM’s other series. I’m excited to see how the characters develop throughout the series!

  • Fantastic

    Kept me interest the whole book! Definitely should have started with this book over the Assassin’s blade and read that one after Heir of Fire!

  • Amazing
