Loved this series so much I’m rereading, which is quite a commitment when the series has 8 books all 12hrs+! The first book in a SJM is always setting the scene and world building but I promise the rest of the series is so worth it.

Summary: "Throne of Glass" follows the story of Celaena Sardothien, a skilled assassin who is offered a chance at freedom from slavery by competing in a deadly tournament to become the King's Champion. Set in a richly crafted fantasy world, the book explores Celaena's journey as she faces political intrigue, magical challenges, and discovers her own complex past. As she navigates the competition, relationships with intriguing characters evolve, revealing layers of mystery and setting the stage for a gripping series.

Review: Diving into 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J. Maas is like embarking on a fantasy rollercoaster with your crew. Pro tip: read 'The Assassin's Blade' first—it's the sneak peek you need. What's the vibe? Perfect pacing, no boring info dumps, and get this—no crazy cliffhanger but it still leaves you craving more. The characters are top-notch and well developed. If you dig YA fantasy, this one's a gem that wraps up tidy but has you immediately digging for the next one.

Sometimes you just gotta go back to the series you read in high school.
