Throne of Glass (2012)
Others: Leaning positive Lethal. Loyal. Legendary. Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in the #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas. In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King’s Champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. But something rotten dwells in the castle, and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival—and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

Others: Overwhelmingly positiveChaol Westfall has always defined himself by his unwavering loyalty, his strength, and his position as the captain of the Guard. But all of that has changed since the glass castle shattered, since his men were slaughtered, since the king of Adarlan spared him from a killing blow, but left his body broken. His only shot at recovery lies with the legendary healers of the Torre Cesme in Antica - the stronghold of the southern continent's mighty empire. And with war looming over Dorian and Aelin back home, their survival might lie with Chaol and Nesryn convincing its rulers to ally with them. But what they discover in Antica will change them both - and be more vital to saving Erilea than they could have imagined.

Review 1 of 3
MixedThrone of Glass that's just like a good series put it here really like I got invested and I enjoyed it but... there's something about reading seven books and kind of knowing that your big payoff's just going to be a lot of pairing off.
Mixedthere are a lot of aspects of throne of glass that I absolutely love I love those characters I just I love that world but there's so many of aspects about it that aren't the best
Loved itThrone of Glass, elite. I once again can't help myself.
