Hello people of the earth and internet!
Today's review is on Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas!
I am SO FREAKING HAPPY I managed to read this. This book was freaking fantastic, it took me about a week to read. I loved every single word of it. Nowadays there are millions of awesome badass females in almost every YA book but Celaena really is unique. She is just so awesome and I love her so so so so much. I love how she thinks, it was just so fun to read! I'm so happy her character exists.
A great thing about this book was that there was POV from many characters, but not so many you get confused. There was sometimes a focus chapter on one character or another which is quite interesting to read. It's so amazing what Celaena Sardothien can do while being so young.
I also love Chaol. I mean he's not written out to be Celaena's love interest until the last few chapters but god I ship them.
Also, this book is NOT THE HUNGER GAMES, no matter what the blurb says. Yes, if you like The Hunger Games you might enjoy this but it's not a copy of it. I mean assassins fighting to win place as the king's champion has a more or less Hunger Games vibe, but it's actually more of an original idea than it seems.
Now let us talk about Dorian. He is kind of annoying but has an interesting character and is definitely vital to move the story on, he also brings a tiny bit of a lighter tint to the story. Can I just say how happy I get when Celaena tells him to go away. I find that the Assassin and the Crown Prince are so funny together but I will never ship them.
There is a kind of love triangle in this book but I love how it doesn't take up the story and plays gradually at a slower pace in the background. At the beginning of the book, Chaol is all grumpy and serious but then he definitely warms up and I really enjoyed him.
This book is just so amazing. I love Sarah J. Maas for creating this world. I guess this is high fantasy but I'm not sure. I also love how well played out the mystery aspect to this book is. I completely did NOT expect the ending. I obviously guessed quite a bit of it, but not most of it.
I loved this book and I hope you enjoyed my review on it! I recommend this book to anyone who needs something new to read. Have your read this book? Are you on Team Dorian Or Team Chaol? I'm team Chaol!
Bye!!!!!!!!!
THRONE OF GLASS AHHHH. <3
ReplyDeleteI've read all of Sarah's books and loved them to bits. She's one of my favorite authors. ^-^
Personally, I'm neither team. I ship Celaena with someone who appears in later books. ;)
Lovely review, Edie! I hope you enjoy the rest of the series!
