Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
adventurous
mysterious
medium-paced
- Plot- or character-driven? A mix
- Strong character development? Yes
- Loveable characters? Yes
- Diverse cast of characters? It's complicated
- Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated
4.0
this was a re-read for me - the first time around i gave it 5 stars and it was one of my favorite books of all time. since then i have read a lot more fantasy and a lot more sjm books and i do think this is her weakest book (which makes sense considering it is her debut).
the main thing that i disliked about the writing that caused me to bump this down to a 4 star read was the telling vs showing. we were told how perfect, amazing, and talented celaena was, but not really shown how she has those characteristics.
it excelled in the foreshadowing though. because this was a reread, i was able to pick up on it a lot more.
