Publisher's summary

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

Enter the realm. Unleash the darkness. Live the legend.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. Celaena Sardothien 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 deadly competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.

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, and the people she has come to love.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated listeneres worldwide.

Couldn't stop listening

I loved the story and the narrator was excellent! Only a few chapters in I got so invested in this fantasy world and finished it in two days (I still had to study a bit in between...). If you love fantasy mixed with cunning drama, a dash of romance and a great bunch of fight scenes, you need to get this book.
Okay, I'm off to get the next one.

You can tell SJM was young when she wrote this

Excellent performance in the audio book, but my god is it full of cliches and tropes. I heard great things about the series tho, will continue!

A girly, simplistic story

I'm probably not the target audience, based on book database rating I expected a better story. classic clichés, flat characters.

This took a while to get into.

This was okay.
I had a time getting into the story, but it got good in the end. So I am going to continue with the series for now.

every chapter is a delight!

After I finished the ACOTAR series, my best friend automatically recommended this to me and I swear to god every chapter is a delight and that I am automatically hooked! I am about to read/listen to the next book and cannot wait to gush this over to her. Actually, Sarah J Maas is superb! and to the narrator of this book, I super love you!
