About this listen

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 readers worldwide.

Captivating and creative

Great story and listen. My only thing is that Samhain was pronounced “Sam-hew-en” and it is actually pronounced like “Sow-En”… other than that - awesome book! Gonna go for the next.

Thanks!

Literally no better series

Everything is good.
The narrator is amazing but the story - amazing. SJM is the queen of explaining more than enough detail without rehashing things you already know to take up space. I have not met anyone who didn’t like this book. Read it now, thank me later.

My favourite series ever

Don't overthink it, this is worth it. Plot, characters, world building; it's excellently written and the narrator was great, too.
