Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

4.0

I heard that getting into this series, this book was like the first ACOTAR in the sense that it’s a price of admission to the rest of the series. That’s a price I’ll gladly pay. Definitely a better first installment. Quick paced with a world that has sneakily been set up really well among the plot progression. Really good characters to follow as well, I think it greatly benefits from the 3rd person narration allowing it to switch PoVs on a dime. This one is fairly grounded as far as fantasy settings go, with some good ol assassin/champion action, but you know as the series progresses the fantasy elements are going to take off. Stays within its setting for the sake of keeping up a decently placed plot, but now that we know the characters, we’re ready to really dive into the lore and world building with some set stakes.

***Slight spoiler territory***
I’ll ride for Celaena, Chaol and Nehemiah. (Dorian… TBD)
