I did like the story of Throne of Glass, even though all of it (including the writing) felt a bit juvenile. So far ACOTAR still has my heart, and I’m not sure this series will be able to beat that. ( )

I would have given this a 4 but I hated the love triangle and wish that teen authors would let it go. It was a fun book. Not great but a solid read. ( )

Never have I read a better book series. If you're up for tears between laughter, you should read this. The main character never lets anything get her down and keeps fighting for her life, and not just with words. I shed tears and had to laugh at other parts. This book led me to read more by the author. Anyone who has this book in their hands has definitely made the right choice. ( )

This next step into the world of Throne of Glass, and the first truly stand alone novel is a great entry into the series. Its light and fun, but with enough depth to hold you captive. You go in expecting a YA novel that will gloss over the true trauma that would come with living in a world like this and instead start discovering fleshed out characters who understand themselves.

This is the start of the epic, not the epic in and of itself. However for the tip of the iceberg it is well written and held my attention the entire book. ( )

I enjoyed this! It wasn’t as good as the second and third in the ACOTAR series, in my opinion, but I can’t wait to see what happens with these characters!

I absolutely love Nehemia and I hope her story is continued as well. ( )
