Throne of Glass caught me off-guard with how amazing the story was. As someone who used to hate fantasy books, I sure did love this one! Actually, this was the book that convinced me to read more fantasy books.

Celaena Sardothien was dragged away from the salt mines of Endovier to be the Prince's champion in the competition arranged by the King. If she wins, she'll have her freedom, but not before being the King's champion for three years. When she arrives at the castle, strange things happen and ...more

This was almost a DNF for me. Too much like so many fantasy YA fluff books but I pushed through. I decided to read it after I heard so much hype about this book. I thought it was going to be about a badass female assassin kind of more action adventure-y going through daring fights to win her freedom with a touch of political intrigue but most of the book is about the main character trying on dresses, admiring herself, reading books, sleeping in, and kind of flirting with the prince/her guard tot ...more
