Sarah J. Mass’s Throne of Glass is one of the most perfect novels in a fantasy book series you will ever find! It begins 18 year old Celaena Sardothien, also known to many as “Adarlan’s Assassin.” She was raised to be a trained assassin until she was ensnared in the brutal salt mines of Endovier. That is until she is pulled out by the Crown Prince and offered the possibility of release if she wins a competition to be the King’s Champion. She has no choice but to agree to a brutal game with competitors from all over the city and is relocated to the royal palace. However, a dark and ancient force has been creeping in the shadows. Mysterious and utterly unexplainable murders? Clearly killing her competitors is not the only thing she has to worry about. In my opinion, this novel is fast-paced and easy to read as the mystery reels you in. The main character has a lot of complexity. While she is intimidating, there are truly loveable parts to her and a colorful past behind her as well. I highly recommend that you read this to find yourself in a whole other exhilarating fantasy world!
