Reviews with content warning for Gore - Throne of Glass

Didn’t really feel the stakes ante up until mid way. I went into expecting an adult romantasy and got more fantasy than romance. Though slow on plot it was fun and entertaining read. Selene was giving “I’m not like other girls “ which made her extremely annoying through the first half of the book but luckily it improves. Unfortunately no one bones in this book 🙄

I devoured this book. It was easy to follow and even the slower parts were interesting. I was kept engaged and intrigued. I love Dorian and Celaena’s witty banter. The way Chaol cares for Celaena in his own way is amazing.

Celaena and Nehemiah’s friendship is precious and I love how Elena defends Celaena.

I do wish there was a clearer distinction and more organized approach when switching POVs but it’s a fun switch.

I also thought the reveal that Cain was summoning creatures was a little predictable. I was surprised to see that Perrington was controlling him and not just influencing him.

I’m excited to see where this series goes. This was a great opener.

After falling in love with ACOTAR, I knew I would read this series one day. It took me a while to commit, considering how long it is, but I am so glad I finally started and opened Throne of Glass.

I can sense that I am going to be absolutely lost in this series for the unforeseeable future. A perfect introductory book to a series. I already feel so connected with the characters, and this book has only scratched the surface of their identities and background.

The slow-burn, banter, emotional development of Celaena, world building, political intrigue, and the variety of characters, are just barely touching the surface of things that I loved about this book. There were times I audibly laughed, gasped, or gaped like a crazy person, as if I truly was there in person.

I will be rushing to any store to get book 2 as soon as I wake up tomorrow morning.
