‘One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade’ TIME

Enter the realm. Unleash the darkness. Live the legend.

In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. Celaena Sardothien 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 deadly competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.

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, and the people she has come to love.

Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated fans worldwide.

Hooked!

Loved it and couldn’t stop listening! Starting the next book right now! Highly recommend for fantasy readers.

A girly, simplistic story

I'm probably not the target audience, based on book database rating I expected a better story. classic clichés, flat characters.

Couldn't stop listening

I loved the story and the narrator was excellent! Only a few chapters in I got so invested in this fantasy world and finished it in two days (I still had to study a bit in between...). If you love fantasy mixed with cunning drama, a dash of romance and a great bunch of fight scenes, you need to get this book.
Okay, I'm off to get the next one.

Lovely ride

This was a lovely adventure. Suspense, drama, character development, intrigue. Engaging but easy listening. There was a moment or two where the paradox of the assassin vs innocent girl was a bit unrealistic but not to the degree that I would highly recommend this book.

Can’t wait to continue the series!

I enjoyed the book very much. It was full of intrigue, otherworldly interactions and a bit of romance.
The performance was good, but sadly I didn’t like Dorian’s voice.

very entertaining

I really like this narrator, so after reading crescent city I came here. i do like more the male figures caracterizarion here.

Pretty decent

I really got into this story after a while, to where I just couldn’t stop listening, but it took a bit to get there. The main character was a bit annoying at first and some of the writer’s phrases annoyed me, but honestly I can look past that because I enjoyed the story. Overall, I would recommend it, but it’s not at the top of my list of favorite fantasy stories. I will however be getting the sequels because I just. Have. To. Know. What. Happens.!

Meh

I love the voice and performance of the narrator, if it weren’t for her, i think I would’ve DNFed the book already. The book was 30% interesting and 70% cringe. The “world’s greatest assassin” sounded so immature. She was described as deadly etc but all i see is a teenager.

Not what I expected

Truthfully speaking with all that hype over the books I had high expectations but it was a bit boring. Nevertheless I do see the potential of it and there are more books after this one.

First fantasy - loved it!!

Never really been into fantasy before but really enjoyed this and looking forward to the next one
