Throne of Glass is about an eighteen year old girl named Celaena Sardothien. Celaena is a trained assassin who is serving a life sentence for killing hundreds of people.
One day Celaena gets offered a deal by young Captain Westfall: her freedom in return for a huge sacrifice. Celaena has to represent the prince in a to-the-death tournament against other trained assassins in order to become the kings champion assassin. Throne of Glass is one of the most well-written books I have ever read. The characters are very intriguing and loveable. Sarah J Maas makes you so emotionally attached to the characters that you cannot stop thinking about them. When I started reading this book I had no expectations but I was blown away by the story and its characters. The book also surprised me because it brought in an unexpected fantasy element. I recommend anyone who hasn't read this amazing book to go and read it!
