Is this series Worth Reading at all? Dorian I didn't enjoy any of the books in this series, and the second book definitely isn't any better than the first. It only really serves to make Celaena …more I didn't enjoy any of the books in this series, and the second book definitely isn't any better than the first.
It only really serves to make Celaena even more "special", trying to strongarm readers into admiring her when there's not really a lot to care about. There are no spoilers below; they're all mentioned in the blurb of Book 1. Celaena is too over-the-top powerful and special, her skills are mentioned but barely ever shown or proven, the narration boasts and boasts that "she's awesome, really! Almost every word of dialogue she gets to spout is annoying and cringey. In the first book, people are constantly turning up dead.
While all this is happening, Celaena finds a random bag of sweets in her room, and she decides to eat them. But she's like the smartest person ever. That's why she eats it even though it could have been poisoned, because she's so clever and it's totally not the dumbest thing to do.
If Celaena meets a female character, she puts them down because she's not like other girls. She's better than other girls! This isn't a series to read if you're looking for strong friendships among women who support each other. I honestly think this series is among the worst I've ever read. The writing is clumsy and sloppy, the set-up is half-baked, and half the deaths happen offscreen, at least in the first book. EDIT: I decided to come back and make my answer even more comprehensive, because there was a lot I left out the first time.
Do you think this book is appropriate for 6th graders Erin I mean, I'm thirteen, and I read it last year. The sex scene is a little cringe, but it's really.
The school library has it on restrict …more I mean, I'm thirteen, and I read it last year. The school library has it on restricted loan, so I think it's the KIDS we should listen to, since they're the ones who really matter as far as the fact that if they're sensitive to it, it's probably not appropriate. It might pose some questions about sex if kids don't know what it is but most year olds do but so long as they know about that sort of thing, it's not too bad. Because if you want to keep young kids forever, you really need to re-think parenting.
I'm not telling you how to be a parent, because I'm not one myself, but at the same time, it annoys me when there's so many restrictions on shit like this because parents are pananoid and don't want to let us grow up.
Yes, the young and innocent are great! But at the same time, as soon as kids find out about the Birds and the Bees, you can't stop them growing up. Kids become adults, and personally, I've found that reading slightly more adult scenes in books has helped me explore what it's like to grow up and be more adult.

Start your review of Throne of Glass Throne of Glass, 1. Are you kidding me? What the hell is this shit? I know what you're thinking: Where the fridge tart does Cinderella come in? She shimmied beneath the blankets, pulling them over her head, but he grabbed the covers and threw them to the floor.
Her nightgown was wrapped around her thighs. Celaena shivered. She didn't care that she had only a few months to beat the other Champions - she needed sleep. You know, the one who - after slaving away in the salt mines for four months - was so desperate to escape that she even tried a mad suicide dash.
What the hell, though; they're only offering her her freedom. I know, right? Silly Crown Prince, not considering the feelings of, like, one of the most terrible criminals his men have ever captured. I mean, he gives you large, comfortable living quarters in his castle, a billiards table, a chance to change your life, even a puppy , and - what - he thinks this is enough?!
From the doorway, Chaol asked, "Why, might I ask, are you so tired? It's only the start of the tournament of Celaena's life; of course she stayed up all night reading. If the competition barely merits any page time, why should the competitors actually give a shit about it?!
These pants are absurd, and this shirt is awful. Generic complaints FTW! It was tart, with a sweet, honey-like aftertaste. And what books do you love? What others? This paragraph isn't a pointless waste of space at all. Oh, he couldn't stand her contradictions! It was an archery contest? When he finished, his eyes gleaming with resentment, the Champions sniggered, and Cain laughed the loudest.
Despite herself, Celaena felt badly for the boy. His shots hadn't been that bad. I think she likes being pampered. This Crown Prince is clearly not the brightest crayon in the box. What would he make of all this? For all her assassinating experience, she didn't notice him until he sat down on the bench beside her.
And who glued you to the wall, anyway, Crown Douche Bag? I can survive well enough on my own - if given proper reading material. There were no books in Endovier. A BOOK!! The Champion who hadn't shown up for the Test had been found dead in a servant's stairwell, brutally mauled and dismembered. The new murder cast a pall over the next two weeks, and the two Tests they brought with them. Celaena passed the Tests - stealth and tracking - without drawing much attention to herself or risking her neck to save anyone.
Some assassin. She hadn't even bothered to stir. Also, you're a stalking stalker, Crown Douche Bag! She couldn't blame them; the dress was spectacular. And she was spectacular in it. She missed. Gritting her teeth, she considered snapping the cue in half across her knee.
But she'd been attempting to play for only an hour. She'd be incredible by midnight! She'd master this ridiculous game or she'd turn the table into firewood. Temper tantrums are, like, so unbecoming. What, you didn't know?? And it's only page Unfortunately, Pelor hadn't done so well, and had been sent home at long last. But he'd been lucky: three other competitors had died. All found in forgotten [well, obviously not that forgotten] hallways; all mutilated beyond recognition.
How can I process it all? There was no note, not even a name scribbled on the bag. With a shrug and glowing eyes, Celaena pulled out a handful of sweets.
Oh, how she adored candy! Celaena issued a jolly laugh and crammed some of the candy into her mouth. I have no words! I don't want her urinating on everything and chewing on furniture and shoes and books. And I want her to sit when I tell her to and lay down and roll over and whatever it is that dogs do.
And I want her to run - run with the other dogs when they're practicing. I want her to put those long legs to use. Perhaps I should have bought you jewelry after all. When I return in the afternoon, she may be brought to me.
I'll keep her in the night. The dog kicked her legs in the air. And why does she have a bunch of shoes, anyway? He wouldn't have danced with her, anyway.
And he was glad he hadn't worked up the nerve to ask her, not after seeing the color that Duke Perrington's face turned upon discovering the pair. What actually happens five minutes prior to this is that Celaena asks him to dance and he says no.
Also, this guy's kind of a wussy-with-a-"p" for a Captain of the Guard. He's never even killed anyone before. Captain of the Guard, my foot. Cain was little more than a pawn in a game to amuse the king How the heck do you pronounce Chaol? Like the cabbage? It makes me think of frolicking unicorns, or As for the main character, well, I don't even know what to call her. Is it really any wonder that Nehemia eventually renames her?!
I guess the special snowflake needs a special name to go with her very special personality impairment. And what is even the point of the glass castle? Or the non-existent throne of glass that the book's apparently named after? If you ask me, the author should have gone for Cinderella in Candyfloss Land!
I don't even know what Celaena spends most of the second half of the book doing. The tournament trials and murders are mentioned in passing here and there Yesterday we threw knives! Another three people were eaten over the past three weeks! Also, since when do slaves have possessions? Why does some random slave who immediately gets murdered by some random people, so yay for the Drama Llama have enough salve to pass around as required?
Who makes this salve? From what? Who are these slaves allowed to associate with that they can procure salve? What do they trade for this salve? Their bodies? Their hair? Salt they've squirrelled away from the mines? Explain yourself, Sarah J. Terrible, terrible, horrendous. Nonsensical, stupid, pointless.
Fluffy, pathetic, ridiculous. Need I say more? Need I? Throne of Glass tries to emulate Poison Study Save yourself the torture and go straight for Poison Study. If you've already read Posion Study , read it again. Or try Graceling. View all comments.
