Lethal. Loyal. Legendary.
Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in this complete, #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas, author of the Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series.
In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King’s Champion.
Her name is Celaena Sardothien.
The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. But something rotten dwells in the castle, and it’s there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival—and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world.

What Audible Listeners Are Saying
4/5 stars — “Narrator Probs”
The story was ok, not great, but I am really surprised that the narrator hasn’t gotten more negative reviews. The men all have very weird deep voices and pretty much anytime any royalty speaks (king, prince, princess, queen) it is always slllloooowww. I can’t get past it. It was just all wrong. I may read the next book sometime but probably won’t listen if this is the narrator for all of them.— Mada, Audible listener
5/5 stars — “Enjoyable Listen “
I listened to this after listening to all of ACOTAR that are available, hoping I’d enjoy the characters and story as much as I did in ACOTAR and was not disappointed! The main character is likable and the encounters she has through her journey are interesting.— Veronica Brady, Audible listener
4/5 stars — “Very refreshing “
I really liked how immersive and dynamic the characters are. My favorite character is definitely Princess Nehemia. She’s giving me very much black girl magic…lowkey. Even when she doesn’t appear she’s very memorable,calls attention and you wanna know what she’s up to.
There is somewhat of a love story but it doesn’t completely overwhelm the story either. There issss a Triangle but it’s fine.
The way that magic and the fights are depicted really excite me and when it’s being read aloud its really immersive and you almost feel like you’re on the sidelines or in the story when it’s happening.
The ONLY two things I struggled with is accepting that Celaena is actually an Assassin,because while she is a skilled fighter and she’s very smart,very sharp,she just seems like she more an opportunist than an actual assassin. Calaena gets caught slipping or lacking several times lol However I didn’t let it distract me from the overall story. If you tryna read about a strong heroine who isn’t boring and not always “smirking” this is what you looking for. The second thing is we get a POV from a character that I really did not care for and I feel like we could’ve gotten a POV from the King rather than them. I saw there’s more books though so the author might be setting something up. The performance was okay. I like how the VA portrayed different voices , just some of the diction of them talking and what was being said sometimes didn’t match the mood of the scenes. Overall I really like the book and I’m looking forward to read/listen to all the other books like a marathon lol I’m trying to see what the future holds for Calaena next!— grumpytoast ⋆˙⟡ ♡, Audible listener
