Book Review: Throne of Glass Series by Sarah J. Maas
Series Review I jumped on this series late...as usual. Throne of Glass , book #1, came out in 2012 and I only discovered the series a couple of months ago thanks to an awesome friend with great taste. The series was described with all of my favorite buzzwords; strong world building, fantasy, strong young adult, badass female lead, important secondaries, just enough fill without a lot of fluff.... the list could go on. They were all 100% correct. I LOVED IT. Favorite read(s) of 2015/2016 by far! What makes a young adult book great is when you can tell that the character is trying to find their way in the world (aka grow up) but yet refrains from whining and self-loathing about every problem they encounter. At the same time, I don't want to read about a 17-year-old who sounds and acts 40 -- because that's not real life. I like to see the character learn and evolve. Make some mistakes and make some surprisingly mature decisions. Sarah Maas wrote this series beautifully ...
