Chenxin 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?

(All those dialogues and exclamation marks almost made me give up) The second book was alright, nothing exciting really. But the character development was amazing in the third book, and the language used in the book matures as well. The protagonist changes from a self-centred, proud and annoying character to a more mature person. The series does get better, esp. from the third book (Heir of fire), which is also the author's favourite book. Should read the novella (assassin's blade) too, makes it easier to understand the protagonist in the first two books. Reading the novella made it easier to sympathise with the protagonist in the first book, so all the annoying bits were justified. (less)
