Y’all know how much I love Sarah Maas. I finally allowed myself to read book four as a reward for all of my hard work the past several months and it did not disappoint. It’s fascinating to see her growth as a writer and a storyteller. Maas’s books showcase my favorite kind of story: the extraordinary female lead who inspires loyalty and love and …
Also reading Queen of Shadows! Such a good series!
The Throne of Glass Series started with Throne of Glass. Celaena Sardothien is an assassin and very deadly. Beautiful. Lethal and destined for greatness. In the first book in the series, Celaena has to compete against others in a competition. She comes to win her freedom, the Crown Prince will provoke her and the Captain of the Guard will protect …
The Throne of Glass I could read more of that series.
These books keep getting better and better.
Sarah asked herself: how high should I make the stakes?
Thought about it for a second…
And then went with a simple, resounding YES.

I almost feel like the story didn’t really begin, until this book. I think we finally know what Aelin is fighting for and also finding her own way now, the character development in this book is so good. I …
Queen of Shadows is the fourth book to the Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas. It’s the book I’ve been waiting to read (or, in my case, re-read). I gave it a high rating the last time I read it, and that rating didn’t change when I read it a second time.
Storyline/MyThoughts: This book is where Celeana officially makes it known who she …
This book is a great fantasy read. I was hooked from the start and devoured every word. A great read, I really enjoyed it.
The further I get into this series, the further in love I fall. Aelin (Caelena) is such an all encompassing main female lead that I can’t help but get lost in her story. She’s strong, intelligent, compassionate, deadly…a queen.
Even with a diverse range of characters, they all have a role and are all equally intriguing, and you will feel …

Excellent series. Loved the characters. SJM is an excellent
So much happens in this one, some really big moments that impact the lives of many characters, going forward. We learn more about Manon and her Thirteen, and we’re introduced to some other female characters – Elide, Lysandra and Nesryn. All completely different backgrounds, but all amazing and fun to read. This was a great read, thoroughly enjoyed …
My love for these charachters knows no bounds…amazing series
Celaena Sardothien is my favourite character I was never into fantacy novels until I read this one and then I read “the mortal instruments city of bones” and I was hooked and now im reading ” the name of the wind”
This book was 600+ pages of nonstop perfection and incredible storytelling.
I’m not kidding, this book did not stop.
This might just be my favourite book in the series thus far, and that is saying something.
I can’t even put into words how I’m feeling other than completely happy. Not that this was a happy book, there was a lot of classic SJM …
The first half of this book was me yelling “WTF IS AELIN UP TO?” While the second half was smacking me in the face with secrets left and right. Just when I thought i knew someone..WRONG. It messed with my emotions. I loved it. I need more. OH look the next book is out. 🙂
These books just get better and better with each book I read. When I first starting reading this series I wasn’t sure I was going to enjoy it as it didn’t seem something I was going to like, Celaena’s character just annoyed me. But I am so glad I stuck it through as I am so invested into these characters and the more that are introduced and the …
I almost have no words that can adequately express my feelings upon this book’s conclusion!! I am a mess! I’m overjoyed at magic being freed and that so many beloved characters are right where they deserve to be. I’ve fallen so deeply in love with characters that started out as terrifyingly evil. I’m beyond excited to take the next journey with …
Oh man this book was soooooo good!! Compared so all the other ones this one was really dark and I feel like we finally got a real idea of who Celeana was back in the day. Her progression is so amazing and the bond between her and everyone else it’s just really exciting to feel out. Manon is another character which I have grown to really respect …
SCHEMING & SCHEMING & MORE SCHEMING. Sarah you are a goddess. The amount of planning that had to take place for this book had to be unreal. Aelin has grown so much since book 1 and she has overcome a crap ton of obstacles. She just keeps everyone on her toes and I LOVE IT. This book is my favorite because I love seeing all the plot twists and …
