At like 10-15% I considered stopping, but I'm so glad that I actually gave it a chance. The writing is good, so don't knock it until you've read it. There are some twists and turns in the first book that I didn't expect, which made it interesting. "Throne of Glass" is only so slow in the beginning because Maas has to create her world and the character. "Crown of Midnight" is even better than the first, but I particuliarly enjoyed "Heir of Fire" (where new, intriguing characters get introduced) and "Queen of Shadows." A guilty pleasure read (the whole series) for sure!(less)
