THEINE OF GLASS FREE
Dorian promises Celaena that if she wins, after six years of service to the King she will be a free woman. The Crown Prince Dorian chooses Celaena, currently the most feared prisoner at the prison work mine Endovier, to be his contender in the competition partially because of her reputation and partially to annoy his father. Nobles and advisors from the court have all chosen contenders who will compete in trials to showcase their skills. Throne of Glass follows ex-assassin Celaena Sardothien as she competes to be the Champion for the King of Adarlan. I have passed these books to every friend of mine at some point, and it only feels right to encourage even more readers to read them.
THEINE OF GLASS SERIES
However, the series goes from good to great by book three and stays incredible through to the end. I will admit that the series starts out much rougher than it ends this is the first book Maas ever published and obviously has a less polished feel than her later work. There are specific scenes from the novels - particularly the ending of the fifth book - that never fail to make me cry, no matter how many times I read them. Every single character is broken and searching for purpose and healing in a way that is uplifting and heartbreaking in equal measure. These characters are etched onto my heart, becoming more than just book characters that I love.
When people ask what my favorite book is, I point to this series - because what bookworm worth their salt can actually pick a single favorite book. I have read the Throne of Glass series at least three times. Recommended?: Without question! This is my favorite book series of all time! Genre: YA Fantasy, High Fantasy Number of Pages: 406 (Hardcover) Rating: 3/5 stars Warnings: Some gore, allusions to suicidal intentions, discussions of slavery and sexual assault.
