Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Mass
The Throne of Glass is a historical fantasy in war-torn
world. It begins with a young girl
named Celaena in a horrible prison mine walking along corridors with a
guard. The girl has apparently been at
the prison for a year and has been summoned to speak with the prince of the
nation. You find out that the girl is
in fact the best assassin in the land or at least she was before she was put
into the mine. The prince has come to
ask her to be a champion for the King, to pose as his assassin and do his
bidding for a period of time, after which she will be freed. In order to get this role she must compete
with other champions across the land.
Whoever is left at the end of the competition will be the king’s
champion. Even though she despises the
king, she agrees so she can earn her freedom.
Once she gets to the castle and begins to get her strength back other
events begin to happen. There are 23
other competitors in the beginning.
After the first couple of weeks of the competition competitors begin to
die in gruesome manors. Soon Celaena
realizes that magic is causing the deaths and that someone is summoning a
horrible beast to murder the other competitors.
Celaena tries to solve the mystery, win the competition and keep herself
from killing anyone who provokes her.
This book is full of adventure, mystery, danger, and heartbreak, with a
little added romance thrown in for good measure. I hope this is a series, I would love to read
more about Celaena. I will be ordering this for my library. I give this one 5 out of 5.
