"Throne of Glass" is an exciting read everyone can enjoy.
By: Stephenie Thorne
If you're looking for an action packed book with an interesting protagonist, you should definitely pick up Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas. This book is full of suspense, romance, fighting, and mystery. The story is about an assassin named Celena who has been imprisoned for a year in the kingdom of Ardarlan. During her time she is offered a deal. Compete against other assassins at a chance to serve the kingdom in exchange for her freedom-and possibly her death. Celena accepts the deal and discovers that the competition may be the least of her worries.
Personally, I enjoyed this book a lot. The story is full of interesting characters and it's hard to stop reading it. The main character is different from the typical insecure heroine in most young adult novels. She's confident in herself and strong. She's also pretty darn kick butt.
The only thing I did not like about this book is that there seemed to be too many romance scenes and less focus on the story. There's a love triangle in the book. It isn't too awful, but I sometimes felt like there was more romance than there was action. Some people might like it that way. However I personally prefer the romance to not be one of the main focuses of a story.
The best thing about this book I would say is that it always kept me interested. Never in the book did I feel bored or felt tempted to skim read a chapter. There's always something happening. There's a lot of great action scenes. This book is anything but boring.
This book is really good. I can't wait to find out what happens next in the series. If you are a fan of action, fantasy, and a touch of mystery, I strongly suggest you go to bookstore and pick up this book.
