 Uma assassina presa que recebe uma oferta de liberdade, dentro de algumas condições, desde que ela ganhe uma competição. É essa a história que acompanhamos no primeiro livro de Trono de Vidro.
 Recomendo muito para qualquer pessoa que ame fantasia e romance. Como muitos sabem eu raramente leio e gosto de algo que não tenha nada de romance. Pois aqui tem, sem cenas eróticas e nem nada assim.
 Demorei um pouco para pegar o ritmo da leitura, mas depois não queria largar. Me apaixonei por muitas personagens e o livro tem um bom equilíbrio entre focar no plot e no desenvolvimento das personagens (que tem suas diversidades e seus defeitos).
 Terminei o livro louca para começar o próximo, mas nossa lc para o início de fevereiro será “A Lâmina Assassina”.

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.

I love reading this book every single time. SJM does some great world building, and for her earlier works, it’s well done.
Even though I’ll forever be sad about Dorian being taken away from me… :(
