Bloomsbury presents Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

Lethal. Loyal. Legendary.

Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in the #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King’s Champion.

Her name is Celaena Sardothien.

The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. But something rotten dwells in the castle, and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival—and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated people worldwide.©2012 Sarah J. Maas (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing Plc

"Epic fantasy gold." (USA Today on the Throne of Glass series)

This book!

I love Sarah J. Maas and the relationship she builds between characters. She has a wonderful writing style! I read ACOTAR before reading this series and I just love the way she wrote!! It’s so easy to read and nothing ever gets boring with her!!

Great story, terrible voices.

I love these books and their story. The reader read well,but some of their voices for characters were not to well done. A squeaky British accent for a giant hulking tribesman from the mountains seems like an odd and distracting choice.

Parts were difficult

I got a little annoyed with our heroine at points. I know that she has a background that makes her the way she is but she’s supposed to be this badass killer and the most feared assassin in the land but she comes off a bit soft and needy, a little whiny, to suppose to be this scary person. Felt a little hard to connect.

Too hard on this wonderful book

People are way too hard on this book. First off, she is a teenager! She never really got to live her childhood. Just because she is an assassin doesn't mean she still isnt a little girl. I think the narrator did a good job overall. The MC was very condescending so to read her like she is rolling her eyes and bored is very good. The first book like any TV show is like the plot episodes and you are going to see every character grow. People need to remember she is more than just an assassin she is a young girl trying to figure out life. She was always told what to do and did very little thinking of her own. Then someone great comes to her and tells her she must use her mind and is responsible for the happiness of others is a huge weight no matter who you are. I think this book is powerful. I read it when it first came out and I am re-reading it now. I feel now that im older I understand everything she is going through more.

Better reader needed

I love Maas' books but didn't love this reader. parts that should have been exciting were lack luster and I really had to focus hard on the story to enjoy it. the reader has a pleasant voice but it just didn't fit the story.
