Publisher's Summary

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 listeners worldwide.

Full of Mispronunciations

I read the physical books and liked the series overall. The narrator mispronounces Adarlan through the whole series, along with many other common fantasy words like wyvern and Samhain. Painful to listen to.

Amazing story!!

I'm just recently getting into back to reading and started with this book. The narrating does an amazing job at painting the picture between the characters, and the story is super captivating. The author has a way of writing that makes you feel the emotions the character is going through, 100/10 book!

Creative and vivid world

I started with acotar and fell in love with the chemistry charged romance. This book does not have that same emotional pull and is much more of a teen novel. The world is beautifully created but the dialogue is not a believable as Maas other books.

Entertaining

The story is definetly entertaining. I had a hard time reconciling the main character and the prince's personalities to what there backgrounds are supose to be. The plot leaves you reaching for the next book though. I hope to see growth in book two.

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!
