Throne Of Glass

This series by Sarah j. Maas is one of the most supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (thats actually a word and it means basically AWESOMEE) series I've ever read. I love the series and let me just tell you one thing, and you might like to consider it as a warning- this book kills guys, and it will kill you! But believe me, a girl who has already endured all of it, that you will LOVE IT and thank all the Gods for making you read this series and meeting those characters who grow to be a part of your life.

Just 5 books of this series are out now and there will be total 7 books in this series.

Throughout the series we get to see things from many people’s point of view and that is one of the about thing I like about this book!

Goodready Summary
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 four years and then be granted her freedom. Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilarating. 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.

My Review

This is the first book in the series and everything begins here, this whole rutting, loving, wrecking, crying, lovable journey begins here.
The main plot of this book was that Celaena works really hard to become the king's champion and this is just the beginning and the least of her problems compared to those in the upcoming books.

I just love Celaena! Like you just can’t not love her! She is the boss man! Her smart ass mouth and her swagger is everything, like every freaking thing AND she loves books and reading, so I am sure there’s no doubt left for why I love her soo much

Dorian is my baby boy. I love him soo much. He is just sweet and adorable and his sole job is to make the world beautiful just by residing in it (other males join him later in this heavenly task *winks*)

Chaol is lovable and the writing just makes you think about him, about his life, about what he wants or desires. I just love such things in books. I loved him in this book a lot.

The main plot of this book is that Celaena works really hard to become the king's champion but it is the least of her problems as compared to those in the upcoming books.

This book was a bit predictable but this series just gets better and better with each book

Goodready Summary

EVERY DAY THE SAME
Rachel takes the same commuter train every morning and night. Every day she rattles down the track, flashes past a stretch of cozy suburban homes, and stops at the signal that allows her to daily watch the same couple breakfasting on their deck. She’s even started to feel like she knows them. Jess and Jason, she calls them. Their life—as she sees it—is perfect. Not unlike the life she recently lost.

UNTIL TODAY
And then she sees something shocking. It’s only a minute until the train moves on, but it’s enough. Now everything’s changed. Unable to keep it to herself, Rachel goes to the police. But is she really as unreliable as they say? Soon she is deeply entangled not only in the investigation but in the lives of everyone involved. Has she done more harm than good?

My Review

It was a really thrilling read and had my attention gripped throughout. There was always something happening and as the story goes on we get many new revelations revolving around the characters.
We get to listen from multiple POV’s of all the main female characters and the reader’s curiosity just goes on increasing! I suspected nearly everyone but the revelation was still very shocking.   I really liked the main character- Rachel. She has many flaws but her thoughts and actions were genuinely kind though in real life they may have been odd but reading them seems good. A thought passed me while reading that if we were characters from a book then people or readers will love us for our flaws and with them.Kamal Adbic was also one of my favorite characters because of his job and the way he handled it. even outside his office and working hours he was working and his dedication towards his work is amazing.  It’s like he knows he has ability and so he uses it to his full potential to help others.Also the whole concept of therapists was kinda new to me because I didn't actually know what happened in a meeting with a therapist but after reading it the idea seems so heavenly. Talking about your life to a stranger, spilling out your fears, dreams, aspirations and your whole story to a stranger that you know will understand it and won’t judge you seems just so inviting because we can’t talk about such things freely to people we know in fear of being judged.
On another note, there are some words which many people don’t like to read but if you’re comfortable with them then just go ahead, grab your copy and start reading. If you’re looking for something to keep you on the edge of your seat then I’d recommend it
