It was great and exactly what I needed right now.
Was a bit too predictable at times? Sure. But it was still pretty good!

What The Assassin's Blade did for setting the tone of Celaena's character development, Throne of Glass has done for the tone of the entire series. I think that it developed at a great pace without feeling rushed and had all of my favorite elements of an SJM book including the most delicious tension-building that one could ask for. I am squealing with delight over the fact that I have six more books to read in this series!
Similarly to how ACOTAR progressed and my emotional interest in characters grew to include more than Feyre, I'm now not only invested in Celaena's story but also the stories of her friends. As the series progresses, I cannot wait to see how certain relationships – both good and bad – pan out.

But oh boy, I was not prepared for this debut novel. While Sarah’s writing in this one is that of the beginning of her career, you can see the talent and style developing before your eyes. This was a huge part of the reading experience for me as I love to evaluate the writing. As I said before, coming from ACOTAR it was such a unique reading experience.
I absolutely loved the story and the characters - Celeana is tough and wild but so cunning - probably one of my favorite characters by her. I loved how we really just jump into the world and follow her along this journey in blood, intrigue and friendships.
I 100% recommend this book. Do not expect spice - expect world building and strong fantasy elements.
