Throne of Glass: Volume 1

Very slow going. Action is way at the end. It is definitely learning about characters first. Hoping the next on is better. I have liked all her (Maas) other work. Though I have been reading all her books backwards. newest to oldest. Love her 🌙 series. and I love the Court of Thorns. I just hope this one picks up. I will read the second and if it is as slow going I'll probably move on. So looking forward to the next books in her other series though. She definitely gets better and better I can see how she became a better and better author. Just don't want to waste money on these old ones. Such long waiting for these in my library apps. I don't know why for this one but I guess people were like me going through wanting more with her others. I will let people know if the second book Picks up I already bought it. 🙄 takes me about 3-4 days to read a book.

Throne of Glass was an absolute page-turner! Celaena Sardothien is a badass female protagonist who I couldn't help but root for. The world-building is rich and immersive, and the plot kept me guessing until the very end. Maas’s writing style is captivating, and I loved the blend of action, romance, and political intrigue. This book is a must-read for fans of fantasy

And I had to close it because it was awful. I was expecting the main character Calaena to actually be an assassin, but a immature, and vain teenager was what I got out of it. She was just way out of element to the title that claims her. The main character is an insult to heroine characters out there in general. Clearly the author needs to read books like Assassin's Creed or Shadow Prowler to learn what an assassin is all about.
