After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

You could rattle the stars.
You could do anything, if only you dared.
🦄🦄🦄
Celaena Sardothien is the most infamous assassin who works for Arobynn in Adarlan. She gets caught and becomes a slave before Prince Dorian selects her as his candidate for a competition where the winner becomes the King's Champion. This person will be responsible for doing all the King's dirty work while he keeps his nose clean. If she wins, she has to work for the King for 4 years, after which she gains her freedom.
Captain Chaol Westfall helps her in her training because she has become weak from working in the mines.
She uses the alias, Lillian Gordaina, because her true identity should remain a secret. She becomes close friends with Princess Nehemia, who teaches her an ancient language.
During the course of the book we are told few details of her past; her parents were murdered when she was 8 and shes been living with Arnobyn ever since.
As the competition progresses, contestants start to die by an unknown entity. To learn what is happening in the King's castle, Calaena needs to dig deep and uncover secrets that were hidden long ago.
🦄🦄🦄
If you've not started reading this series yet, I suggest you do.
With a strong female lead and a plot that keeps you begging for more, this book is every YA Fantasy reader's dream read.
She is seen as self-centered and arragont, but those are the qualities that make her a great character because, underneath all that, she's just a girl. A girl who loves to dress up and falls in love.
If you give Calaena a chance -NOT the book, but CALAENA- you'll learn to love it even if you think you won't.

A chilling and thrilling read

Reviewed in India on 4 April 2019

Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas is the first book in the series by the same name. Celaena Sardothien, the protagonist is Adarlan's most notorious assassin who was enslaved in Endovier. She is bought to the king's court to compete to become the King's Champion and win back her freedom, failing which she would be killed. The things become dangerous as the competition proceeds and several dark secrets are revealed in the course of the book.
🗡
When it comes to characterisation, I feel that the author has done a tremendous job. She has shaped and developed the characters masterfully and has weaved the story with a lot of skill. I really liked Nehemia and Dorian, apart from the obvious favourite Celaena. Lies, murders and manipulation dominate the narrative. The narrative was a bit slow paced during the first half of the book but it became interesting and thrilling later. I was in for a lot of surprises and I couldn't put the book down. I would highly recommend you guys to read this series if you still haven't.

Freakin' 5 stars !! this book is absolutely gorgeous, I was captured inside at the very first page. The writing style is superb and I really liked how the story is told from the perspective of different characters which brings them even closer to us. Dorian and Chaol .....* swoon* and our very own badass assassin Celaena is just so damn perfect. I must say if you love fantasy and strong female protagonists then just go for it.

An absolute page turner!

Oh my God! I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting, it was that good! The book has you intrigued right from the first sentence and even though this book is above 400 pages, it does not slacken in its pacing. I never felt bored even when I was being fed information and I just ate it all.

I loved the character development and I am so glad that Celaena, our protagonist, is strong and driven and that’s something I love about Sarah J Mass's writing.

I really enjoyed that the story was around a formidable assassin, and she has already lived through her years of fame and downfall after being captured. This is a story of what happens after, when opportunity presents itself and how she grabs onto it and what that opportunity leads her to.

I know, I know, I’m late to the party. I don’t know how I hadn’t read this book, but hey, better late than never, right? I am sooo looking forward to diving into the next one!

I'm so happy that I decided to read this series. It is so good. The sequels are so much better than this, so if you don't like this one, give the second book a try. I personally loved this book. It introduces Celaena, the world's most notorious Assassin. she will become one of your best literary friends. It also introduces Dorian and Chaol, such sweet gentlemen who will give you tough time choosing your favourite. I love them all so much and I love the author for giving such a powerful female protagonist.

Very mediocre offering

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 19 December 2018

Verified Purchase

This is an awful book, don't buy it thinking its a fantasy nivel because its actually a historical romance thinly masquerading as something more complex . The author has piggybacked on the current wave of fantasy novels with strong female protagonists, with her central character described as 'the worlds best assassin' with ongoing hints about a dark back story throughout the book. But sadly it fails to live up to any expecations. All the characters are two dimensional and trite, and the story is extremely weak. I just didn't care about any of them at all by the end. The most descriptive parts of the book focus on what Celeana looks like or is wearing or the increasingly boring love triangle between her, the dashing captain of the guard or the handsome prince. I'm annoyed I spent nearly £5 on it!

Fun protagonist and gripping magic system

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 12 December 2017

Throne of Glass has been on my list for a long time and I FINALLY got around to reading it. I really enjoyed it, and binged the last half of the book because it was so gripping.

Celaena, a captured assassin, is blackmailed into participating in a competition to become the King's Champion. If she wins, she'll serve as Champion for four years and then be granted her freedom. But the road to winning the competition is filled with obstacles, not least because someone is murdering all the other contestants. As Celaena digs into the Kingdom's history, she uncovers dark magic that shouldn't exist anymore. Can she figure out how to stop it before the murderer comes for her? Oh, and the Prince is handsome, too. But she can't fall for him. Not after what his family did to her lands. Can she?

I thought Celaena was an intriguing protagonist. She has a lot of interests and she's amusing to read. She does come across as three-dimensional, but a lot of what's made her who she is seems to have happened off-page so I get the feeling I'll have to read the next three books to fully figure her out. I agree with other comments that she bounces around from being deadly and wielding swords to being girly, wearing dresses and swooning over princes. But she's also a teenager, so I think you have to take that into consideration.

The ending was satisfactory and whilst there isn't a great deal of pressure to continue reading the series, it's definitely not a stand alone. I felt like there was a good round up of the competition and the dark magic Celaena found, but yes, if you start this one, you're probably in it for the long haul.
That said, the world is well constructed and I would be happy to read on. Give it a go if you're looking to dip your toe into a strong fantasy world. (Then maybe your ankle, knee... and well, you get the picture...)

Five stars is simply not enough.

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 November 2018

I'm genuinely struggling to put into words how gripping and compelling this story truly is.

When it comes to novels based in new worlds I normally struggle to get gripped on the story, but from page one I could easily see the world Sarah masterfully created. And from page one I was hooked.

It's the kind of novel I couldn't wait to finish, but at the same time I didn't want to read it as it came to an end.

Sarah created a new world, one full of mystery and wonder. The story had me hooked so much that I went through the motions with the characters, I laughed, flushed, cringed, and cried throughout.

The third person, head-hopping writing perspective is becoming a new favourite reading style for me, it gave a broader outlook on the story as a whole, and gave a closer look at the characters.

Celaena, she wasn't what I expected, in a pleasantly surprising way. It became quite clear early on that those in her close company could only grow to love her as I did. She was written so well she didn't feel like a character in a story.

I feel like she is a good judge of character, so when she liked someone I was immediately drawn to them, and when she hated someone I felt that too.

“When she missed – well, even the fires of Hell couldn't compare to the rage that burst from her mouth.”

This has to be my favourite description of Celaena written from Dorian's point of view. I laughed, probably harder than I should have, but that moment was completely priceless.

I love Dorian, Chaol, Nehemia and Elena in equal measure. I hope to see Nox again too.

I truly cannot wait to get lost in Sarah's world once more in Crown of Midnight, also, how amazing is the cover artwork on these novels?!

Bad Reviews are missing the point

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 October 2017

Verified Purchase

I have read the entire series and absolutely loved it. Yes the first chapter was a little slow but that is because SJM is introducing a new world. She has to help everyone understand it. Secondly everyone saying Celaena is the best then how comes she got caught - that's the whole point and if you read it properly you will see that she has a very good reason for getting caught. The so called "plot holes" are not plot holes, they simply prepare questions to be answered in the next book. Get a couple chapters in to where they prep for the competition and you'll be wanting to know more. The series as a whole is fantastic (It gets better and better with every book) I promise that. SJM always blows your mind. Accept that she has done a more sassy character than most YA books (where would the fun be in repeating characters all the time?). Accept that this is the new world. And if you read Assassin's Blade (mini short stories) then you will see exactly why she is the best if you cannot get past the whole she got caught but had a very good reason thing.

Strong characters. Strong plot (leaves some of it open for book 2). Good pace. Good attention to detail. Just keep reading, I promise you will fall in love with the series.

Weak storyline, but not awful

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 22 May 2019

Verified Purchase

This was entertaining enough that I finished it, but on the whole it felt very poorly thought through and badly edited. The basics were there for a good story and characters, but the delivery was all over the place and the main characters were full of ridiculous contradiction and bad decision making. I appreciate it's YA fiction but it also didn't seem to know whether to its characters like adults or children. E.g. the captain of the guard to a tyrannical king apparently has never killed anyone... how does that make any sense?! Won't bother to read any of the others in the series and am pretty shocked it's as popular as it is.
