I think this might be my 4th time reading this book. Not the whole series but definitely this book. I really like it. If I didn't love it I guess I wouldn't pick it up every time I feel a reading slump coming on.

I love this book more the second time around and I really REALLY loved it the first time. The characters were what I looked forward to the most. I didn't remember a lot about this book because the first time I read it I think I read it to fast. This time I took my time and really got to

I am reading this book for the 3rd time and I'm more excited to be reading this round then the first 2 times I read it. So many start becoming upset with Celaena because she is more focused on gowns, shoes, sweets and being a true girly girl and not the badass assassin the description says. I happen to love the fact she can train as hard if not harder then the men in the champion competition and kick most of their buttons and yet away from training she is this soft 18 year old girl

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t as good as the second and third in the ACOTAR series, in my opinion, but I can’t wait to see what happens with these characters!

I absolutely love Nehemia and I hope her story is continued as well.

Throne of Glass is the first book in the series (the second series I've read by Sarah J. Maas). I'm enjoying this series.

"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

This book felt more like a 4 for the larger half of it, but I feel like it probably deserves a 3 at best for seriously lacking in plot and storytelling. The appeal of the Battle Royale-like scenario is in tension from being targeted by so many individuals at once and in these individuals being developed characters to know about (or want to know about) and yet be forced to kill them.

I couldn’t tell you a single thing about Celaena’s foes and since she makes her way quite effortlessly through var

4.5 stars- I loved this book! Were there a couple of things that bothered me? As always, yes. The worst was actually the names; they disrupted the flow of the story for me. I would either stop and be like Chaol . . . how tf do you say that? and lose my train of thought. Then, after I looked up the actual pronunciation I kept cracking up. Hahaha, big burly man has a name that sounds like "kale." They must really love their vegetables in Adarlan. (Yes, I know it's supposed to be "kay-all, but it s ...more

I have to stop comparing all of her series to ACOTAR. I will be disappointed every time.

I will probably read the next but want to clear my head of expectations first.
