Evie Netherwood answers “I've heard that this book wasn't very...”

Ariana Jashari asked this question about Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1):

I've heard that this book wasn't very good, but I've also heard that the second book is Amazing. Is this series Worth Reading at all?

There's a lot less romance and it's way more character driven. You get proper character development and some new characters who are some of the best in the series, although some of the subplots for the new characters are predictable you really grow to love some of them (especially Manon and the thirteen). The fourth book absolutely blew me away. You could it had been written by a matured author compared to the first who was more sure of herself, it had much more unpredictable plot twists and the characters felt a lot more real. Celaena herself matured which improved it greatly. In the first book I'd say the redeeming features are Nehemia (although some find her annoying) and the subplots. Definitely read if you like fantasy YA (I'm not usually fan of historical type ones but the AU is really well thought out, one of the plus sides of the author writing the frost one so young)(less)
