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 readers worldwide.

Critic reviews

"One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade." (Time Magazine on the Throne of Glass series)

"Celaena is as much an epic hero as Frodo or Jon Snow!" (New York Times best-selling author Tamora Pierce on the Throne of Glass series)

"Epic fantasy gold." (USA Today on the Throne of Glass series)

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.

Could not stand the narrator…

Narrator is annoying. Over annunciates everything.

Story was ok… the best assassin alive in this world is a bratty teenager. She is aloof and goofy.

Not what I had expected.

Great story

The story is fantastic, but every male voice sounded pompous even when they were supposed to sound tender or loving. Too forced. Women characters were solid though.

My fifth book by Maas

I like this book, a lot. Enough to purchase the next in the series. The premise was somehow familiar yet felt new. It was interesting, thrilling and painted excellent visual imagery. It didn’t drag, and wasn’t full of cheesy cop outs. I’ll ride along, just to see where Selena goes. But I’ll never forgive Maas for naming k-Alle so.

Def worth a listen!!!!!

I’ve been shoving this one to the back of my TBR because I typically lean towards something a little more ‘new adult’. But I should’ve read it sooner! Loved it! And I hear that it just keeps getting better and better with each book!

A fun story very well read.

Read knowing that this is for young adults. Don’t compare it to Brandon Sanderson or anything. This is a very fun and well written young fantasy read when you want a creative fantasy story and a break for your brain.

Great Story

This was a great story and can’t wait for the second book.
I will say that some parts were hard to understand which character was being portrayed. Sometimes in the same chapter it would switch from one perspective to another without any warning and you kind of had to just follow along with it. It could just be me that feels this way though. Other than that, I love the series already and can’t wait for more.

Loved. Every. Bit.

I was taking in, transported into the world of Aurelia and Otterland. I felt as if I was 'Lilian' at times. but loved all of it. can't wait to read the second book.
