The Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J Maas - Books 1-4 (INCLUDES SPOILERS)
12:41
I've decided to summarize my review of these books because 1) I haven't read them in a while and 2) all the events are sort of blurred as to which book they were in in my head.
"Throne of Glass" is a fantasy story about an assassin named Celaena Sardothien. She is brought to the King's Palace to compete in a competition to become the King's Champion/personal assassin. When competitors start dying, she must try to survive through troubling people, competitors, and an evil presence lurking somewhere in the castle.
First of all - WOW!! I seriously love Sarah J Maas' writing style and her ability to make such awesome, kick-butt characters. I can easily say my favourite character throughout this series is Celaena(/Aelin). I love her character development throughout all of the books and how much she starts to understand herself as a person. The way she starts off as an assassin in love with fashion (and herself, let's be honest) and progresses through the change of realizing who she is (Elentiya, Fire-Heart, Aelin Galathynius!!!) and becoming a down-to-earth person while harnessing her powers/abilities. I was sucked in from the first page and went through all of the books (Assassins Blade, Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows) within the span of around 1 month. I was completely hooked.
My favourite of the series is probably "Heir of Fire" because there are so many things going on throughout the story that affect all the characters and makes the story so intriguing and unputdownable.
I give this whole series a solid 5 stars.
I am also SO FREAKING EXCITED for the next book and will definitely jump into it immediately when it comes out.
Let me know in the comments your thoughts on this series and cast of characters (if you want)
Bye :)
