As part of this year’s reading challenge, I have finally finished reading the Throne of Glass series. It is a fantasy series comprised of 8 novels written by Sarah Maas. Seven of the books are the main story and one book, The Assassin’s Blade, is a prequel. The series follows Celaena Sardothien, Adarlan’s most deadly assassin as she takes on a king and evil dark forces. Along the way, she discovers more about her past and a long-lost legacy.
This is a good series, one that I would consider reading again. Celaena is a cool and interesting character. It has all the makings of excellent fantasy; mythical creatures, a solid magic system, cohesive world-building, and lots of plot twists. I don’t read too many female authors who have built a solid fantasy world like Sarah Maas.
