Book Review: Kingdom of Ash, a Throne of Glass novel by Sarah J. Maas

Kingdom of Ash (Throne of Glass, #7)Kingdom of Ash by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Kingdom of Ash..aka Kingdom of Pain, Kingdom of Tears, Kingdom of pretty much EVERY BLOODY THING THAT HAPPENED HAS LEAVED ME IN TEARS. This book was so good, and it was a pretty good ending for them, and I want so much more ToG, but I understand that this was the end. I even took a bunch of notes in my book journal so I can remember everything I read.

So that one thing that caught my eye as I read was the line Once Upon a Time, in a land since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom, and it was so beautiful. I had to write that line down, and as I read though Aelin's torture, to her escaping with Fenrys, and then training all over again to get her back to fighting shape to fight Erawan and Maeve again, to get her kingdom back...I loved every moment of it. She was trying to get back to Rowan and her friends so she can fight, but the moments when she was locked in the coffin and only getting out to get tortured every single day by Cairn, but she got out, and fought her way back to her, even though she had to fake some of it before she became her true self again.

Rowan. My poor baby boy. He is looking EVERYWHERE for Aelin, his wife. When Aelin's mama told her to fight, and he felt something down the mating bond, he's like 'Aelin's in the North'...in Dorainelle or however you spell it....and before they can ever get there, tragedy strikes. Fenrys's brother, Connall, was basically forced to kill himself thanks to Maeve, in front of Fenrys, and when Cairn was talking about doing so many horrible things to Aelin, Fenrys got up, attacked Cairn while breaking the blood bond, and had to take a new one with Aelin so he can live, and then the two left (after tormenting and killing Cairn, which I was really happy about).

Let's shift the tides from Rowaelin to the others. Manon and Dorian, whom I love so, so much, is looking for the Corchan witches, while secretly Dorian is going to look for the last and final Wyrdkey, summoning spirits like Gavriel and Kaltain. Of course Manon finds out and they have a fight, but not before a stygian spider named Cyrene comes along and help, but then Dorian finds out that Cyrene is actually Valg born, and he killed her and took her shifting ability, and went in to take the third Wyrdkey...but not after making me want to throw up when he asked Maeve to marry him and take the throne, but thank god it was a fake after he found a way to destroy the tower and the collars.

Then Aedion and Lysandra...honestly, these two I wanted to shove into a room and let them fight and then get back together, though I'm gonna die on the 'Aedion is a bitch for talking to Lysandra like that' hill and he deserves it, talking that way. But close to the end, they get together, and they got married and he became the Lord of Terrassen. AND DON'T GET ME STARTED WITH ELIDE AND LORCAN GOODNESS. Those two made me cry after the huge fight. And Chaol and Yrene, and YRENE DOING THAT WHILE SHE WAS PREGNANT. Beautiful, I tell ya, beautiful.

Honestly, I loved every bit of this book and I know this isn't the end of my Sarah J. Maas read-a-thon (gonna have to take a tiny break from that, though) but I loved this series so much that I'm sad that Throne of Glass is over.

Book Review: Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass #5) by Sarah J, Maas

Empire of Storms (Throne of Glass, #5)Empire of Storms by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Okay...this book RIGHT HERE guys....holy hell it was beautiful.

Dorian is the King of Ardarlan, but he’s traveling with Aelin and her court as Aelin and Rowan are trying to find some allies so they can go to Terrasen and Aelin can take her crown...or so she thought. The humans that was going to help her turn their backs on her, so she went to find some allies...in the Pirate King Rolfe, which refused her but then after helping defend Skull Island (and Lysandra being a badass turning into an actual sea dragon) to being a sneaky bitch about it and rallying Ansel to help.

But then there were others to help her-

For example, Manon Blackbeak, Wing Leader to the Blackbeak coven-and a Crochan Queen. Her. Thanks to the beating she’d gotten from her grandmother, who revealed to her that she is the last of the Crochan Queen, and that she killed her half-sister (well forced to). Shocked and wounded, she got on Abraxos and flew off to Aelin’s ship, where she became a prisoner for a while, then became Dorian’s lover (I SHIP THEM DAMMIT), and she has no idea if her Thirteen is still living or dead, since they’re scattered.

And Elide...who met Lorcan and was traveling with him, pretending they were married... I loved that, so much. They met up with a traveling troupe for a while until the ilken found them...and reveled who she really was (she was using her mother’s name) and that she was carrying a Wyrdkey to give to Aelin that Kaltain Rompier gave her in Queen of Shadows. Then they reunited with Aelin and Manon, which I’m happy about, but then Lorcan almost got bitten by Garviel, but then Elide got in the way and got bitten, and OH BOY did Lorcan get mad as hell (because he’s very protective of her).

BUT MAEVE….I thought we left her in Heir of Fire, but her ships are here, and she gave Aelin an ultimatum...but she wasn’t there, because she and Manon went into the Witch Mirror, and she attacked, and Rowan and the other tried to shield the rain of arrows, but some hit the other men. But it turns out that it was a distraction to get to the shore, where Elide was, and oh boy...that’s when I wanted to rage. Nicely.

No, not nicely, because I got mad at the end.

First off, Maeve pretty much started to control Lorcan, Gavriel and Fenris by using the Blood Bond, cutting off both Lorcan and Garviel, then when Aelin and Manon came back from the mirror, which was also fucked up because of what Elena did and Nehemia did and Rhiannon did, Aelin had to surrender herself to Maeve after she couldn’t beat her. And Maeve revealed so much terrible shit she did to Aelin, the things she did too Rowan...it was too much that she surrendered. And then she dd the most horrible thing I can’t believe she’d do.

She called on her cadre, Cairn, to first beat her ten times and Maeve wanted her to count, but she didn’t do it. Then that damned bitch put her in a iron coffin with iron chains, and strapped a beautiful mask on her face. In the end, once they were gone, everyone was pissed off at what happened-Elide was pissed with Lorcan, Aedion found out the plan that Aelin came up with-since she isn’t going to be alive enough to live her life the way she wanted it, and Rowan and Aelin got married way before this happened, and I hope to god that everything works out, because I really want Aelin to get back to her husband and live her best life. Fuck Maeve and I hope she dies in a blood-soaked faerie hell.

Book Review: Queen of Shadows, a Throne of Glass Novel by Sarah J. Maas

Queen of Shadows (Throne of Glass, #4)Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Queen of Shadows...oh. My. God.

This book...this WORLD.

Hello Erilea, I missed you so much. Oh, and hello to you two, Rowan. I MISSED YOU SO MUCH AS WELL.

There is so much stuff to unpack with this book, so I'm going to start with Aelin and her returning to Rifthold to stop the Valg demons and the King (which shocked the unholy hell out of me once I read it). So Aelin returns to Rifthold and had been forming a plan to take down the evil King and his Valg commanders, and to also free her cousin and save Prince Dorian, who is trapped beneath a collar and is under the control of his father. So her plans had to deal with Aborynn (in which I fucking cringed, like holy hell I hate Aborynn SO FREAKING MUCH), which resulted in her and Lysandra becoming friends and her taking down Aboryn by letting her kill him in his sleep. They did have to save Lysandra (by 'they' I mean Aelin, Aedion, Rowan and Chaol), all the while meeting Manon and her Thirteen, and also seeing the King again and Valg!Dorian. Once they put their plan into motion-using hellfire to destroy the glass tower to bring back magic-it almost didn't work, mostly because of the King and the power of the valg, but when the King said he killed Chaol, Dorian forced the demon out of his head and ripped the collar from his neck, then with Aelin's help, they destroyed the glass castle and killed the king.

Now Manon and her Thirteen...whoo boy. Those Blackbeaks, I tell ya...hooly hell those girls went though hell, I tell ya, hell. Because Perrigton wanted to breed the witches, and Manon gave up the Yellowlegs. But once she found out what they were doing to them (thanks to Elide Lochan) she didn't send any more witches down there, even when she talked to Asterin and found out what her grandmother did to her (which was fucking terrible, by the way) and also, also...

THEY MET.

WHEN DORIAN WAS UNDER THE VALG.

MANON AND DORIAN MET.

Do I ship them? Not yet, but slowly but surely I am. Am I glad the kingdom is safe once again? Yes...yes I am. Am I fucking worried that now Perrington and Maeve and Erawan is about to let loose a war that I hope everyone on the good side wins? Yes.

And also RIP Kaltain Rompier and I'm fucking sorry Perrington treated you like shit and did horrible things to you.

Book Review: A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Frost and Starlight (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #3.1)A Court of Frost and Starlight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Well this book made me cry for some odd reason. I mean, it's short, and on top of that there is a preview of the next book (in which i'm ready for, even when she said that the next book is a Nesta and Cassian book, in which I scream very loudly. In my head) but among other thing, and I hate that this was a short book, it was filled with so much goodness.

Like Feyre and her opening a art studio on rainbow road for the people hurt in the war and I cried over that. Even when it looks like Elain was finally being happy with everyone, thanks to Nuala and Cerriwen (I can't write names), but staying away from Lucien. Even Morrigan trying her dangest to celebrate the Winter Solstice, even when they visited the Court of Night and she wanted to kill Eris and her father right then and there, but didn't. And Rhysand giving Feyre a house for all of them to live in, for her to decorate however she wanted-that made me cry the most.

The only bad thing that I didn't like from the book was Tamlin and his broodness and how torn he was FROM THE SHIT HE PULLED WITH FEYRE AND HOW FEYRE BROUGHT THE WHOLE SPRING COURT DOWN, and all the shit Nesta's doing. I'm was so mad at her for just doing what she was doing, and also that she slept with men before she even slept with Cassian (which for right now will never happen, but I WANT THEM TOGETHER, YEEZUS) but other than that I loved it.

Even when Rhys and Feyre had amazing sex to the point that it destroyed Rhysand that he probably couldn't walk for a while-he probably was sitting in a corner, sucking on his thumb calling for his mother before he went to visit Tamlin again. But I enjoyed myself reading this and now I wanna read more of this series (and also more Throne of Glass. Because I miss my hubby Rowan).

Book Review: A Court of Wings and Ruin (ACOWAR) by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Wings and Ruin (A Court of Thorns and Roses #3)A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Alright...this book right here....BROKE ME IN SO MANY WAYS.

I thought the wars in Game of Thrones were bad...I was waiting for nearly half my favorite characters to die...BUT NOPE NOT REALLY, THEY JUST GOT BROKEN TO THE POINT THAT I STARTED TO CRY WHEN RHYSAND DECIDED TO GIVE EVERYTHING AND DIE WHEN HE AND FEYRE FIXED THE CAULDRON.

I don't even know how to start this book review, to tell you the truth. From Feyre basically being a bad bitch and destroying the Spring Court, from Nesta and Cassian NOT GETTING TOGETHER, IN WHICH I NEED THEM TO, all three of the scariest people-The Bone Carver, The Weaver, Brayxsis (the one that scared Cassian to death) to this stupid-ass war with the King of Hybern. And the new characters-the High Lords of Dawn, Summer an Day (I believe) court, Drakon and Mariyam, Nephelle, Elain's ex-fianee, even Jurian from the last book. But this book broke me in so many ways that I cried, held my breath...this book has broken me in so many ways.

Also I'm glad and proud of the changes between Nesta and Elain, who stayed away from everyone, and then came into their own-Elain became a seer, Nesta became a little warrior. Even when Elain shoved Truth-Teller in the King's neck, I was proud of her, coming out of her shell and showing people what she can do.

But the one person that shocked me the most was Amren (I've written her name as Amren when I did the book review of ACOMAF, which is my bad), when she tricked Feyre so she could go in and destroy the Hybern army, turning into a huge bird (or fire drake or dragon), but she came back as a High Fae.

Also Feyre flew and I'm proud about that.

I love this series so much and now I'm going to start reading the novella, because I don't think these stories and these people, our family, if I can call them that, are over.

"To the stars who listen-and the dreams that are answered."-Rhysand

(also I feel like I'm giving a goodbye speech as I write this, but I'm not)

Book Review: Heir of Fire, a Throne of Glass novel by Sarah J. Maas

Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, #3)Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book...this book, this book, this book. Holy moly. I thought this book was fantastic and amazing and I loved every bit of it. The ending shocked the living hell out of me, to the point that I didn't pick up anything else for a whole entire day (and mostly because it was Golden Girls day and I just sat and binged-watched the Golden Girls all day without getting on the computer). And part one, reading about Celeana's struggles and grappling with Nehemia's death and everything else she went through in the first two books was heartbreaking and I wanted to hug her...but first, can we just stop for a moment and talk about the new characters I've met while reading this book:

Rowan Whitethorn: First off, when I first met him, I was literally shouting, 'Go the other way, please! Don't come near me...no...NO....goddammit Sarah J. Maas *falls into his lap, drags him to the church, marries him and becomes the new Mrs. Rowan Whitethorn*' and then, you know, my lovely obsession with silver-haired men goes on. And learning about his past, when he was mated to another woman and comes back home and found out that she died was heartbreaking that I wanted to hug my husband so bad. But the one thing that irritated me a bit with him was when he kept telling Celeana/Aelin to shift (I wanted to smack him silly for saying it). But I love my Fae hawk-turning man so much (and sad that I have to wait till the next book to see him again...which I don't have right now). Oh and I almost forgot he has a tattoo...and it's sexy af.

Aedion Ashryver: I was a bit skeptical about him the moment he walked in, but then when I kept on reading, I started to like him. Mostly because he's secretly plotting against the king to put Aelin on her rightful throne, and pretending to do all those battles for the King. He even through the ring the King gave him away because he knew something was weird with it. And I felt a bit sorry for Chaol when Aedion had to beat him up once he found out that he was following him.

Manon Blackbeak: Oh hello there. How are you? Out of all the female characters that Sarah J. Maas has written, Manon has to be my favorite one in this book. She's vicious, beautiful, smart, cunning, and I love her SO DAMNED MUCH. She's Wing Leader (at the end of the book), she steals from the Spiders for their spider silk for her wyvern (YEP THAT'S RIGHT WYVERNS. THERE'S WYVERNS IN THIS BOOK HELL YES) and also she knows what she wants as well. She even took the weakest dragon, named him Abraxos, replaced his teeth and tail with iron, and he flew and won the War Games.

Queen Maeve: I HATE HER. Just like the King, I HATE HER WITH ALL MY HEART. CAN'T FUCKING STAND THIS BITCH. I DON'T KNOW WHY I CAN'T STAND THIS BITCH, AND I HOPE SHE DIES IN A FIREY PIT AND NEVER COME OUT EVER AGAIN. I JUST DO I DON'T KNOW WHY. I'M ALSO GLAD THAT ROWAN IS NO LONGER TIED TO YOUR DUMBASS.

Sorscha: This bean I loved her so much...till the end...when her head got cut off...WHAT THE FUCK... But she helped my son Dorian control his magic by researching everything, and also she fell in love with him, which sucked at the end. It did, seriously. I hated it when I read it. I hated it that it happened to her. She was honestly one of my other favorite characters.

And the memories of Aelin and how she survived was horrible, and it was spun by the King?? FUCK THE KING. FUCK HIM. Fuck him for what he did to Aelin, fuck him for everything. And what he did to Dorian?? Like why??? Why would you do that??? The ending sucks SO MUCH and I want to read the next book and the others because THE ENDING IS FUCKED UP SO MUCH.

Book Review: Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2) by Sarah J, Maas

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

HO-LY CRAP.

THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE.

I thought Throne of Glass was gonna be the death of me. But as soon as I opened up this book, I was wrong. I mean, I didn't know who thine hell is Aelin Ashryver Galathynius, and looked deranged while trying to figure it out, but when Chaol found out for me....HO-LY CRAP. I didn't know it was her. I swear to God, I didn't know.

But lemme talk about the one thing that killed me more than the Red Wedding: Nehemia's death. That broke the unholy hell out of me, and the last conversation Celeana had with her...the last one before she died...good lord, man. That sucked. And I'm glad Celeana got her revenge for her by killing Archer and delivering his head to the King (though I don't like the King. I truly don't. He can go fuck himself to the other side of the world. Just fuck right on off.) Then when Kaltain appeared again, I wanted to rage because I don't like her.

BUT DORIAN. Lemme talk about my precious boi, the Crown Prince. Because at first when he saw Chaol and Celeana together, he was like 'I'm going to forget her' and then after a meeting with his father BOOM magic powers appears and holy shit my son has magic, but he has to hide it from his father, but then when the carnival came and Baba Yellowlegs came in the picture, and had to ask questions about it, she scared him (I think she did) a bit and he ran off, but when Celeana came to see her...whooboy that fight though...

Holy crap the fight. I was worried for Celeana and thought that she was gonna die, but she killed the Ironteeth witch before she can tell him what Dorian told her.

Then the kidnapping of Chaol and the murder of all those people...hadn't seen that much rage in Celeana and it was fantastic. But the fight with the creature she summoned because she wanted to see Nehemia again...and Archer showing the eff up (that pissed me off) and Celeana tricking him to tell the truth before the ceature attacked...

And Celeana turned into a fae and used magic and killed the creature, that shocked me even more, and I'm glad it's dead, because if ANYTHING happened to Fleetfoot or my son, I was gonna kill someone...BADLY.

But the ending...when Chaol sent Celeana to Wendlyn to be safe, and when he found out about who she truly was...Aelin Ashryver Galathynius....holy crap.

I need to read the next book now.

Book Review: The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas

The Assassin's Blade (Throne of Glass, #0.1-#0.5)The Assassin's Blade by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

So...stupid me forgot that I didn't do a book review for this book. So I guess after reading this the second time, I decided to *finally* do a book review of The Assassin's Blade, a Throne of Glass novellas by Miss Sarah J. Maas...aka Yet Another Book That Wrecked Me At The End.

Shall we begin?

Like most books like this, I'll break this up by the short stories:

1.) The Assassin and the Pirate Lord-The first time I read this, I hated the pirate lord. I wanted to kill him for so many things. But to find out the Aborynn sent Sam and Celaena to get slaves from him, I was both shocked and appalled that he did that. I'm glad that Celaena came up with a plan to stop him from doing that because I couldn't believe that the King of Assassins would do that. But he did, but his plan was foiled, even though Sam didn't want to do it in the first place, calling it foolish. But he helped, and now all the slaves she saved were free and will never be slaves ever.

2.) The Assassin and the Healer-This is after when Aborynn beat Celaena and told her to go to the Red Desert. This was a really cute story about how she met this girl who worked at this tavern and saved her from drunks. She even taught her how to defend herself, then gave her some money and her brooch so she could leave that horrible place and go to be a Healer.

3.) The Assassin and the Desert-I *almost* shipped Celaena and Illas so hard, but Ansel was such a bitch for doing what she did. All because of something that happened to her a long time ago. And she and Celaena were such good friends, stealing Asterion horses and helping stop a local lord. But NOOOOO, Ansel made a damned deal with the lord and Celaena nearly killed her, but told her to get out and ride before she shot her arrow at her. That good she waited another minute before she shot her arrow. And I'm also glad that she learned some things from the Mute Master.

4.) The Assassin and the Underworld-This is the least one I liked from this group of stories, mostly because Aborynn screwed her over, but he showered her with gifts though. And Lysandra...hate her so much. I hope to god that she doesn't show up in the other books, because I want Celaena to mess her face right on up. And I felt sorry for Sam for even dealing with poor Lysandra during and after her Bidding, but glad that Celaena paid off his and her debts before moving out and leaving Abroynn for good.

5.)The Assassin and the Empire-THIS STORY BROKE THE HELL OUT OF ME. The way Sam died, and how Celaena had to go to the Salt Mines of Endovier. She was fucking set up by Aborynn-for what I don't know, but fucking hell, man. I hated Aborynn throughout the whole entire book, and to fucking set her up the way he did...I wished for the love god that he would die for what he did. That pissed me off to the HIGHEST pissofity. Also I hate the King of Ardarlan. So damned much.

A Fantasy Book Haul and a New Blog Annoucement!

Hey y'all!

Since Saturday I didn't have a D&D game, I decided to go to Barnes and Nobles (my third home after Cinderella's Castle at Magic Kingdom and my house) because I had a itch for some new books. because after reading Johannes Cabal, I was in a book rut. So I went and brought these amazing books that might hopefully break me out of my reading slump.


The Assassins's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas by Sarah J. Maas

I'm a huge fan of Sarah J. Maas and her two book series, Throne of Glass and A Court of Thorns and Roses, and I've wanted to get the whole book series so bad after I've read Throne of Glass twice (might read it the third time). This is the beginning of the Throne of Glass novels (along with the others) and with Tower of the Dawn (Chaol's book? AWE YISSSSS) coming out really soon, I thought I get a hop on reading the series again, starting with The Assassins's Blade, and I'm currently reading it right now and I LOVE IT SO MUCH. 

Crown of Midnight: A Throne of Glass Novel by Sarah J. Maas

The second book of the Throne of Glass novels and I can't wait to read this one-also this book series actually gave me some inspiration for my current character I'm playing in Storm King's Thunder, Elektra Nightbreeze, my wood elf rouge assassin (and I'm not good like Liam O'Brien who plays Vax'ildan on Critical Role).

The Legend of Drizzt Book II: Exile by R.A. Salvatore

Now I couldn't leave B&N without grabbing my favorite drow and my favorite fantasy author! They didn't have the first book of this series (I didn't ask that's why) but I picked up this one and I have a feeling it's gonna be fantastic, especially with those Illithids that Drizzt's about to fight...

The Legend of Drizzt Book III: Sojourn by R.A. Salvatore

HAD TO GET THE THIRD BOOK. Because who dosen't wanna read more about our favorite drow ranger and his awesome panther Guenhwyvar? And yes, this is them coming into the light for the first time EVER and I can't wait to read this!!!

So my new blog annoucement (well it really isn't a new blog, I just haven't used it in a very long time)

So I decided to use a old blog that is just...sitting there like USE ME PLEASE and it was supposed to be a writing blog where I show off my writing (it might be that, I don't know yet) but then I decided to make it my randomized thought/somewhat of a personal blog. 

So if you wanna and visit the blank blog (I'm gonna post something on there really soon) its https://charmingbrittany.blogspot.com/  if you wanna just follow it and whatnot

Book Review: A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas

A Court of Thorns and Roses (A Court of Thorns and Roses, #1)A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This book...this book, this book, this book...the first time I read this book, is when my grandmama passed away, and I didn't want to touch this book at all. Now that I checked this book out nearly a couple months later, let's just say that this book basically blew my mind. I loved every single moment of this book, even cried a little at some parts, and my mouth dropped at the end. I couldn't remember everything, but I thought I break this book review down by points I wrote in my journal so I won't forget.

-I like Tamlin, even though he lied to Feyre. I know he did it to protect her from Amanthra, but to keep doing it throughout the book urked me a bit, but then I got over it at the end.

-Dislike Rhysand because he's annoying, even though he is the High Lord of the Night Court. Yeah he's cute and have wings and can break your mind without a second thought. But good lord, Rhysand annoys me so much, even when he made Feyre drink that faerie wine and made her dance till she puked.

-Don't know how people ship Feyre x Rhysand-I don't see it. Sorry, I just don't.

-Lucien is a okay petunia. That is all.

-I hated Nesta in the beginning, then I grew to like her. Yes she used to live in a big-ass house, was rich and brought whatever she wanted, but to be hateful towards your sisters and hate your father for giving it all up (I think, I don't remember the reason why she hates her father) but then when Tamlin sent Feyre back, and Feyre saw how Tamlin took care of her family, Nesta knew everything, and she told Feyre that she knew what was going on, and that there wasn't no Great Aunt whatchimacallit.

-Feyre got on my nerves about finding a way out of the "Treaty" but couldn't. I understand that you want to go back home, Feyre, but good lord girl, if you can't leave, you can't leave-everyone told you that-the Suriel, Tamlin, everyone.

-Amarantha is scary AF and I'm glad Tamlin killed her.

I really do recommend this book a lot and I enjoyed it a lot!!!

Book Review: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas

Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, #1)Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Oh. My. Good. Lord. Now I've read fantasy novels, but nothing like this, and...IT WAS BLOODY PERFECT. The tests, the bad-assery that is Celeana Sandothrien and just...EVERYTHING. I loved this book so much, that I don't know if I can do a full book review on it. And the romance....when I first read this in the summer of last year, I loved it. A lot. And now that I read it twice (slowly because of school starting) I still loved it, even now I HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS BOOK, and can't wait to read the rest of this series.

(edit) When I first read this book last summer, at first I'd forgotten about Celeana because all I saw was Dorian and Chaol, but then I re-read it again and now I wanna punch Chaol in the throat (have no idea why I want to now, but last time I didn't) and I still have a thing for Dorian, but the one thing that made me mad was the fight scene between Cain and Celeana. Because honestly when I see Cain...I SEE THIS BEHEMOTH:



Yep....I see the Mountain as Cain. (Though I'm glad he's semi-knocked out at the moment) And that made me...so mad because he wanted to kill Celeana-FOR WHAT I DON'T KNOW. But I'm glad Celeana won, with the help of Princess Nehemia and Queen Elena and the Wyrdmarks. But then when Cain pulled out the knife to try and kill Celeana...I was honestly on the edge of my seat, but then Chaol came and killed him...so yay Chaol!!!

I still do recommend this book and I will read the next book in the series (hopefully real soon) along with others.
