Summary

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

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 listeneres 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!

Well written

The author has a way with words, its very well told. and the story is interesting. I very much enjoyed it.

Reason for only four stars is. Celaena's personality, it does not fit the character she is portraying, she is an assassin, whos been through punishment in a horrible jail. and she acts like a high school girl. she mentions so often she is an assassin, so much as it sound like the author is trying to convince us readers it, because the personality of Celaena is not cable of doing it.

maybe Celaena would have been more boring to read about if she was more like I expect an assasin, with tourture trauma to act. but its feels more like she is pretending to be an assassin. than actually being one.

shattering

Very easy to listen to, the story flowed like a stream. The narrator takes you into the story, she's a good actress and pleasant to listen to.
