Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
After a year of enslavement, Celaena, an assassin, is suddenly being released and introduced to Dorian Haviliard. Dorian is the Prince of Adarlan, and in need of a champion, who better than Adarlan's Assassin, Celaena Sardothien. She will have to travel with Prince Dorian and his Captain of the Gaurd, Chaol Westfall to Rifthold, the capital of Adarlan. There she will have to face 23 other competitors, also assassins, killers, thieves, and warriors to outsmart and out-compete them in various events to become the king's champion.
For true freedom, she would have to serve as the king's champion for 4 years, and then she could do as she pleases. First, she has to win, which is easier said than done.
Once in the glass castle of Rifthold, Celaena soon discovers something evil lurks in the halls, and it's there to kill. She finds her fight for freedom changed to a fight for survival, having to solve an evil mystery before it destroys her world.
This was a good book but lacking compared to the rest of the series. First of all the fact that Celaena is only 18 and has a serious amount of knowledge and experience is a little unbelievable. Though I understand to connect with a younger audience for which it was written, the main character would need to be a teenager. The story was just a bit tame and predictable. Though the rest of the series is amazing!
The main characters, Celaena, Dorian, and Chaol were artfully created. Each has a very different personality and view of the world. You get a clear picture of their identity through their thoughts and actions. I would give this book a rating ⭐⭐⭐, but it is a must-read to get into the thick of the true adventure awaiting Celaena Sardothien.
