A review by lalazu
Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
Everyone: Lazu, you will love this!
Me: Yay!
Me (now): Nay!
This is the book everyone is hyping so much? That I've been told to read for such a long time?
I get it, my expectations were too high. But it also just wasn't that great. It wasn't bad - but it needed more time if you ask me. Reads like a draft. There were no twists, no cliffhangers. It never actually made me want to read more except for the sake of completion.
Celaena, the most feared assassin - but she spends almost 90% of her time complaining. We don't see any of her apparently so great skills, except rushed fighting sequences that I can barely follow.
But Dorian and Chaol - those are some sweethearts right there. Love those guys, brightened up my day considerably. Make them fuse into one so it doesn't turn into a weird 2 guys love 1 girl novel from now on.
2 out of 5 for plot, writing, enjoyment, Celaena, 'the King is the bad dude'
4 out of 5 for Dorian and Chaol
3 out of 5 in total
