#BIR2012: Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas




THRONE OF GLASS by Sarah J. Maas

After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best. Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined. (From Goodreads)

"She practically threw the rapier into place, and drew the hunting knives without hesitation.

My dear old friends.

A wicked smile spread across her face."


Throne of Glass has all the best elements of fantasy - sword fights, a strong heroine, and a love interest with definite potential. Everything about this book makes it absorbing and engrossing. You can read my full review here.

  14. I've been searching for a good fantasy book to read. Strangely, even though this book has been on TBR forever, I didn't realize that it belonged to the genre. The protagonist sounds pretty kickass, and who doesn't lvoe a good sword fight? Thanks for the giveaway!
