Great book! You get to know the characters very well, makes you love them!
What a great book!
I know this isn’t technically the first book in this series, but I read it as the first one by accident. I’d heard A LOT about the Throne of Glass series and eventually checked it out for myself. And LOVED it. I was hooked on this series, and this author from day one. Celaena Sardothien is one of my all time favorite characters. And Sarah J Maas …
Wow, I really loved all of theses bits and pieces of Celaena’s past. And of course, the last story was about as painful as you’d expect if you’d already read the first Throne of Glass book.
