I think the second half of this book really improves. In fact, this book as a whole is better upon a reread than it was as a first time read. Bodes well for the rest of the series.

Rereading Throne Of Glass, I'm reminded of The Philosophers Stone. Book one, cliche, tropey...yet has a special X Factor? Absolutely. I could pick this book apart. Maas isn't one of the finest fantasy authors in terms of brilliance. But...she overcomes many flaws with utter charm. And like the first Harry Potter novel, book one is a mere glimpse at the bigger picture.

Okay the book is much better as it goes along. It's still impressive to me how much this series grew from this book.

This book is worse than I remember. And yet...I still like it 🤣😅

This is a reread. I've hit an awkward slump, one where I love all the books I'm reading but can't face picking them up. So...Audible and a book/series I love (though its not my typical fare).
Maybe it's just me, but this book is better the second go around. I initially gave it 3/5, and though I think it remains that score, you can't deny how easy this is to binge
