Throne Of Glass (Throne of Glass Series # 1) by Sarah J Maas


Title: Throne Of Glass
Author: Sarah J. Mass
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Pages: 400+
I give it 4 out of 5 stars.
Princes are not supposed to be handsome! They’re sniveling, stupid, repulsive creatures! This one….this…How unfair of him to be royal and beautiful.

Synopsis:

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king’s council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her … but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead … quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
Small white flowers lay at the foot of her cot, and many infant-sized footprints led in  and out of her tent.

My Thoughts:

This book review is part of my TBR for September.
I love everything about Sarah J. Maas. She writes with so much imagination and love for her Characters.(Celaena Sardothien, Chaol Westfall, Prince Dorian Havilliard, Princess Nehemia Ytger, Kaltain Rompier)
Very fast paced novel. Lots of mystery, love, friendship, and hate between the characters. There is even a creature that eats human body parts……. gross…….
I can’t say at this time in the series who is my favorite character would be . But it just might have to be Chaol. I will have to pick up the next book to see if that will change.
I was googling this book and came across a web page called Throne of Glass Wiki.  http://throneofglass.wikia.com/wiki/Throne_of_Glass_Wiki. If you haven’t checked it out please do so. It has lots of information about the book itself and it’s characters.

“Guards are of no use in a library”. Oh, how wrong he was! Libraries were full of ideas-perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.

I haven’t read The Assassin’s Blade yet , so, I think so I think I will go and  pick up that book next before I start the next book ,Crown Of Midnight.

Who is your favorite character?

Wait………………. WHAT……………………………..

The Awakening of Sunshine Girl (The Haunting of Sunshine Girl #2) by Paige McKenzie (Goodreads Author), Alyssa B. Sheinmel (Goodreads Author) Book Synopsis: Sunshine Griffith can communicate with ghosts. Even more amazing, she recently discovered—with the help of her would-be boyfriend, Nolan—that she’s a luiseach, one of an ancient race of creatures who have lived among humans for centuries, protecting them from dark spirits and helping them move on to the afterlife. Now, Sunshine’s powers are awakening and she feels spirits everywhere—intense and sometimes overwhelming. Eager to get her supernatural abilities under control, Sunshine agrees to begin training with her mentor, her estranged father Aidan. He takes her to an abandoned compound deep in the Mexican jungle. But what she learns there about her powers, and her family history, turns out to be more terrifying than Sunshine could have imagined. Can anything—Aidan’s experiments, her friendship with another luiseach ...

Beauty and the Beast (Not Quite the Fairy Tale #3) by May Sage (Goodreads Author) Just awful! “Let me tell you one thing, Beast: if your Prince ever returns, watch his back. There are thousands who would gladly throw daggers at it.” And Belle would be first in line. Ten years ago, he was Prince Aiden, heir of Jereena, at the top of the world – now, they call him Beast. Aiden has landed on his feet, his exclusive club is the place to be, he makes hundreds of thousands a night. What else could he possibly want? Belle grew up during the Anarchy, and the corrupted system screwed her, big time, but she managed to get by. Then, her stupid brother goes and steals from the Beast, who demands her as payment. Well, her, a pile of cash, or her sister – option two and three aren’t acceptable. My Thoughts: What the hell did I just read? It was a weird book. I felt it jumped around a lot. There were times I wanted to DNF the book but some how I kept reading it. Just to see what ...
