Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
I heard this book is very YA compared to ACOTAR, so I went into this book being fully aware of that. My friends told me SJM was young when she wrote this book, and I can definitely tell.
•Was the story good? Yes.
•Predictable? Yes.
•Was the romance good? IMO, no. However, I am comparing it to ACOTAR (which isn’t fair). The romance in this book was very juvenile, but I have to remember they’re teenagers and are juveniles themselves. So technically the romance is an accurate depiction of how 16-19 year olds act. I didn’t feel the connection between the weird love triangle. Just a bunch of hormonal teenagers trapped in a castle.
•Was the world building good? Yes. It’s not overly confusing and I followed along very easily.
I’m excited to see where this story goes. I was told to plow through the first couple books in this series because TOG sets up a lot for the series. We shall seeeeeee!
