Throne of Glass Book Review

I'M BACK! AND I MISSED YOU ALL!

To start things off with a bang, I'm gonna be reviewing Throne Of Glass, which now has a special place in my heart.
First of all, here is a synopsis of the book:

"Celeana Sardotheian is an assassin. She's the best in the profession but no one knows the true identity of Adaralan's Assassin. During her prime, she's back stabbed by someone she trusts and is thrown into the worst place possible for anyone, especially a girl, which is Endoviour. These Salt Mines break those who enter and they never see the light of day. That is, until Captain Westfall offers her a deal - compete with thieves, murderers and liars for the title of the Kings Champion and regain her freedom or spend the remainder of her days in Hell."

This is a book filled with fast paced action, romance and mystery. The synopsis really does not do the book much justice and it's best to go into it with not much information about it. It's the first of a 6 book series by Sarah J Maas and it sets the world in which it takes place in as well as developing the characters.

My thoughts:

It was beautifully written and Maas' writing has made me fall in love with all the characters. It is fast paced and definitely enticing from the first page. I've delved into the world and now I struggle to function in society knowing there's 3 other books out there which I will soon aquire. The book is packed with fantasy and if you're a fan of The Hunger Games, Grisha Trilogy and Game Of Thrones, you'll love this book as much as I did. There's romance, mystery, action and drama. It also features the different relationships in Celeana's life such as the relationship between lovers, friends and family. Celeana is also a very witty and sarcastic character which makes her a loveable protagonist.
Overall I rated this book a 4.5/5 stars. The only thing that could be improved on is the level of enthusiasm in the writing. For example, I felt as though the exclamation point was overused. However, in Maas' recent book "A Court Of Thorns and Roses" shows that her writing skills have developed tremendously.

Till next time
