Summary

Bloomsbury presents Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

‘One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade’ TIME

Enter the realm. Unleash the darkness. Live the legend.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. Celaena Sardothien has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a deadly competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.

But something rotten dwells in the castle – and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival – and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world, and the people she has come to love.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated fans worldwide.

Great read!

As I'm finding with all Sarah J Maas books, the first one in the series is always slow and hard to get in to, but if you stick it out. The second and subsequent books are incredible!!!

Sarah doing her thing

This is a great start of the series, So much foreshadowing and good building towards what comes next. I’ve read this series before, but first time listening to it. Enjoyed the reader a lot!

Overall a good start

An exciting start to Book One and I felt more invested as I read 'The Assassin's Blade' first...it's an important introduction. I felt I already knew what Celaena Sardothien was about.
Why 4*'s for the story....I was initially disappointed with Celaena's attitude after what happened to Sam in the afore mentioned book. I was still grieving and yet she seemed to have moved on but this did improve somewhat as he got a few mentions. I also found her a bit shallow, surely after a year of back breaking work alongside other poor prisoners in the salt mine would have given her more humility. Having said all that this is SJM's early books so she is still finding her style.
All in all I'm invested and will continue the series...

I loved the story, looking forward to the next in the series. My first time listening to this narrator and her performance was excellent.

enjoyable

Good read overall but felt like it was missing something, think I pushed through it more as I'm aware the rest of the series is brilliant - so looking forward to seeing where the story goes!
