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.

Featured Article: The top 100 fantasy listens of all time


When compiling our list of the best fantasy listening out there, we immediately came up against the age-old question: Is this fantasy or science fiction? The distinction is not as clear as you may think. Dragons, elves, and wizards are definitely fantasy, but what about wizards that also fly space ships? (Looking at you, Star Wars.) For the sake of fantasy purity, the top 100 fantasy listens include the best audio works in all manner of fantasy subgenres.

I enjoy the world being created here. I read ACOTAR first. This is definitely a different vibe, but in good ways. I did read Assassin's Blade first based on some reviews I saw, and honestly I'm glad I did. I don't always love bouncing back and forth on a timeline, so it's nice to have the prelude and backstory to jump into this one.

Great Story

Love a story that can provide both a formidable and genuine leading female character. A woman not a girl battling her way to reach her goals. The story was well written, keeping the reader engaged throughout.

love it

Story wise if you love YA fantasy you’re going to love this!! It has an interesting world and solid characters. For the Narration it took me a while to get used to her but I enjoyed her overall. I don’t care for the way she does the men’s voices but the women’s are amazing so it kind of balances out. Overall try it out!

Awesome story & good narration!

Great series for people just getting into fantasy series, interesting storyline and characters. The only complaint I have are the accents for certain characters. Like Mort's "Jersey" accent, he and various side characters have it too, it just doesn't fit the tone of the story.

Great Series
