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.

Critic reviews

"Celaena is as much an epic hero as Frodo or Jon Snow!" (New York Times best-selling author Tamora Pierce on the Throne of Glass series)

Narrators voice

I didn’t really like the narrator for this story. It took me out of the storyline more than once. The fake male voices cheapen the characters.

awesome book! okay narrator

love the story so much, read many times! byt the narrator is definitely not my favorite.. at all. too monotone in my opinion

Decent

I thought this was a pretty decent YA listen. The story was well-written. I’m just here because nothing satisfies me after the ACOTARand FBAA series so I’m just trying to find something to sate my thirst for a good fantasy read. I’m going to go ahead and check out book #2.

Not quite Brandon Sanderson… But close enough

It’s definitely a good story… Draws you in and keeps you there even with its predictable parts. Narration is excellent voices distinct genders well differentiated. Definitely worth the credit definitely worth the read

Starts a little slow but it’s worth it

After reading the Court of thorns and roses series I was recommended the Throne of glass series. It started off pretty slow for me, and I almost stopped reading. But I am glad I stick with it and I’m excited to continue the series!
The narration was wonderful, definitely helped with the pronunciation of the more difficult words!
