Once again, it seems like I'm in the minority for this book because I didn't like it. It's such a shame too because I'd heard a lot of good stuff about it. Oh well, maybe it's just me...or maybe because this book just plain sucks.Let's start off with our protagonist, Celaena who's the "greatest assassin in the world."Okay, I'm cool with that. But it'd be nice if she could actually prove it because from what I've seen, she's once hell of a crappy assassin. People walk in and out of her room all t...
Read this one for TCE Book Club! 4.5 stars I can survive well enough on my own— if given the proper reading material. Man oh man, this was a good oneCelaena, an 18-year-old master assassin, spent the last year as a salt-mine slave as punishment for her crimes. She's slowly wasting away but one day, the prince (along with his guard) comes by to lift her from her bondage.The king is in need of an Champion and had devised a convoluted plan to obtain one. All of his trusted advisers submit one cri...
Characters were badly written, the plot was full of telling instead of showing. Very underwhelmed after hearing for years that this was THE YA series to read. I don't mind unlikeable characters, heck I love them but it didn't feel I was supposed to dislike our main snowflake. So tired of the "strong" female character who can kill everyone in a heartbeat but she's tiny and incredibly pretty, she hates all other women and... Oh also everyone wants her... just because.For more details and quotes, h...
3.5-4 stars? I CAN'T DECIDE JUST YET!I decided to reread this book, as I am about to continue on with the series, finally!I did really enjoy this the second time round, but found myself a little more critical of a few things. I will be doing a full video review of this soon, so look forward to more of my thoughts then :)
You can find the full review and more about this book on my blog!____________________________________________ “Libraries were full of ideas–perhaps the most dangerous and powerful of all weapons.” ____________________________________________ 5 BADASS STARS! First of all,look at this amazing cover.I also liked the first one but this is a masterpiece.I do have a weakness for awesome covers,that's why I decided to read this.Also a lot of people recommended this to me,and I heard great
Caleana Sardothien, young woman assassin, is betrayed and sentenced to the salt mines of Endovier. After a year, however, she is given an opportunity: If she wins a contest to become the king's champion, she will be granted a four-year contract, working as an assassin for the empire she hates, at the end of which time she will be freed. After reading the premise of the book, I thought, "Sign me up!" After the first chapter, I knew I was in good hands. This book has plenty of mystery, magic, humo...
WHAT I WAS EXPECTING:WHAT I GOT:
4.45/5 ⭐Full review on my Blog: The Dacian She-Wolf 🐺I am an occasional liar. I don't lie often, but when I do lie, trust me, I might pass as a lie-detector scammer, don't test me, I'm ruthless. But in general, I prefer to be brutally honest and direct. That's my true nature. Today, I could've easily lied and said that I've wanted to read this book, Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, for as long as I remember, but I’ve chosen to tell the truth instead: two months before actually reading it I’...
upon reread, i am going to bump up my rating. knowing how the story plays out over the span of 7 books, its allowed me to view this with a different perspective and im able to appreciate this more than when i started the series for the first time. what i thought was simplistic storytelling, i now see humble beginnings. what i thought was lack of plot, i now see subtly laid foundations. and what i thought was a predictable ending, i now see necessary building blocks. i think this will still remai...
I hateread a chapter from book five of this series with a friend. And I'm going to register my opinion that while it may have slightly improved in character development or worldbuilding or etc etc etc - I wouldn't know - it is, objectively, just as horribly written as this book.And that's the tea. 🌺 montage of me screaming "why is this hyped" for five hours Let me give this book one minuscule fragment of credit: the plot isn't horrible. Okay, yeah, the plot is kind of boring and there
"I swear on my crown that the pup shall live." The five Throne of Glass novellas did a great job convincing me to push toward the main series. I mean what's not to like: A mysterious new world, a set of interesting characters (in novellas) and a lot of potential plot-lines to explore. But, after reading this first book, the only reason I'm rounding up what felt like a 2.5-star read to 3-star (instead of 2) is, me not belonging in the intended audience. But even for a young audience, I believe
Instagram || Twitter || Facebook || Amazon || PinterestEdit: Lost a few friends over this book, so on it goes to the books-that-made-me-lose-friends shelf, where it can party with my feminism and anti-Trump reads. #NeverthelessSheKeptReviewingSarah J. Maas is basically the Taylor Swift of books: they are both among the most well known (if not THE most well known) in the genres they create work for, and have cultish fan bases that believe they can do no wrong. And both, in my opinion, are ove
We each survive in our own way. This is going to be a rather personal review because Throne of Glass took away a week of my life and my SJM virginity.I wish I’d let it wine and dine me, first. At least, I’d still have the good memory of a nice six course dinner. It’s not like I have a problem with this book, but…I do have a problem with this book. A couple, actually, and they mainly involve the writing and a certain main character which I won't name for now. Now, before I start, I must s
