Welcome to Litsy!

And so my journey through this series begins, I can already tell I‘m going to love it. Sneaky hints of magic, sinister baddies, and of course the romance! It‘s going to be a ride. Sarah J Maas knows how to build a world.

4.5/5 🌕🌕🌕🌕🌗 #sarahjmaas #fantasy

I‘m on crown of midnight and I love it I read throne of glass first and then I read assassin‘s Blade but you could‘ve read assassin‘s blade first, that‘s how you‘re supposed to read it. I loved all the books so far and have given them all 5 stars and I could definitely see her writing and getting better and better the more I read. definitely cried at the end of assassin‘s blade.

This book is so addicting! I read the fourth book of the series, and now I'm reading the first; they are so good.

#ItTakesAllKinds Day7 War
The story follows the journey of Celaena Sardothien, a teenage assassin in a corrupt kingdom with a tyrannical ruler, the King of Adarlan. As the tale progresses, Celaena forms unexpected bonds and uncovers a conspiracy amidst her adventures. (Wiki)

Throughout the entire series, the kingdoms are at war with one another.

Could have been better.

FULL REVIEW: https://abookandateacup.blogspot.com/2018/07/review-throne-of-glass.html

I was intimidated to read this when I first started because there were lots of exclamation points But it was an amazing book and I‘m shocked because she started writing this book when she was 16! I felt like the main character really did not feel like an assassin But I‘m gonna read the prequel after this, I already have it, I‘m very excited

I get to hang out with a cat this week! Saki‘s a real sweetie. Yesterday he sat on my lap for a whole thirty seconds. #blessed

That happened while I finished the back half of THRONE OF GLASS. My feelings for this book have slid all around the spectrum. I wasn‘t impressed with my ARC, then I rather liked it when I reread it after I did like CROWN OF MIDNIGHT, then I loved it when I reread it ahead of KINGDOM OF ASH, and now I rather like it again.

I loved this book. I must say it did not affect me much emotionally, but I was hooked from the start. It was hard to put down throughout. It had my heart feeling like it was about to skip a beat at one point but it still lacked that huge emotional impact that characterizes SJM. I think I loved it most because of the story plot, and feeling like I relate to the main character‘s personality, or at least she reflects how I want to be:sweet and fierce

I forgot to post this sooner. Another series started. I‘m not sure why I waited so long to read this.

I went to Barnes & Noble today to go shopping for my birthday! 🎂 🥳 I already had Assassin's Blade and Throne of Glass, so just needed to get books 2-7. I will be reading them in this order, with Assassin's Blade first, and yes! I will also be doing the tandem read! Peep my crochet hooks in the back, lol

Missing the views but not the responsibility of being in charge on the sixth grade camp trip last week! Had some time to finish a couple of books though while sleeping little. 😂 One book completed there was Throne of Glass. Typical but solid YA fantasy—I enjoyed it. Tough, strong, smart protagonist gathering her allies while kicking butt. Celaena is a convicted assassin with a chance at freedom via an evil King‘s competition.

Well, I‘m hooked! A really captivating story. Maas does such an exceptional job of world-building, and developing characters who seem so real. I‘ve already bought the second book in the series.

Books by Maas are usually picks for me and yet I kept putting this series off. I‘m happy I have finally listened to book 1. Great characters, world building and story. I‘ve put books 2 & 3 & 0.1-0.5 on hold. Now I just have to wait for them to come in vs buying them. 😳

I need something different to read on this cool, dreary day. I loved the Court of Thorns and Roses aero, so I thought I‘d give this a try.

MAAS 100% excels at giving you characters and quotes to die for ❤️❤️ I didn‘t think I could love anyone as much as I did Bryce but enter Celaena and I just loved everything about her from the start❤️ But can some one please tell me if I can get attached to Dorian and Choal? Or is this a Tamlin situation in the future? Also loved Celaena and Nehemia friendship❤️❤️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Went to Barnes & Noble and got these books! I‘m so excited to read #throneofglass, I‘ve heard such good things about it 😊

Not bad, not overwhelming good. Maas knows how to use one whole book for world building. Which is my favorite part of any book. Celeana is an assassin brought to the Glass Castle -also don‘t like it- to fight to be the kings champion assassin. Adore her wit. We learn a lot about the kingdom and the lost magic. I see a love triangle coming. I like Chaol -no idea pronounce. Dorian gives odd vibes. Monster was crazy scary. Interested where story goes

Only rereading this for the third time😅 I keep making it to book 4, but fingers crossed I make it all the way through; still don‘t know how I‘ve avoided spoilers this long

Great on audible.

My plans for today. Finish the first and start the second. I‘m rereading the whole series since I haven‘t finished the last 2 and want to experience it all over again!

Finally giving in to one of my best friends and starting this one tonight! 🎧

Meeting friends for dinner, but running a little early. Luckily I brought a book 😉

“You could rattle the stars. You could do anything, if only you dared. And deep down, you know it, too. That‘s what scares you most.” I love this quote so much! Personally it‘s just so inspiring and has helped me a lot in my day to day life. I hope it inspires every single one of you to go out and to live with the knowledge that you can do anything.

It was a rare enjoy a rainy morning and good book day for me. Throne of Glass was an excellent read! 4 5 ⭐ and read in one day. I am anxiously waiting for my hold for book 2 to come in.

Just my cat silently judging another book delivery this week🤣🤣 I‘m so excited to start this series after loving the hell out of ACOTAR I have very high hopes 🤞🏾🤞🏾

Love, Love, Love...Found this book a bit late...

This series was absolutely amazing. Every character and relationship was so detailed and put the story together so well. Definitely one of the best series I have ever read 🥰📚

4/5⭐️
The first of a series. This really surprised me! A lot of detail was put into the world building & story. I really enjoyed it overall! I did think the romance (while I appreciated it was clean) was quite flat despite a love triangle being one of the main elements. The ending is also not really....happy? Just "meh"? But it is a series...so you know that "the end" isn't a final destination. Not an incredible work of fiction but a fun read!

You can tell this book is setting up a series. Is it the best piece of literature ever written? No. Did I enjoy it anyway. Yes. Yes I did.

I now absolutely understand the fandom that this author has. This is turning out to be another brilliant series.

Getting into my second series written by the same author. I'm really enjoying these books!!

After reading SJMs other series, I figured I would give this one a whirl even though I have tried to read it before. I‘m not quite as wild about this series as the others but I think this book is really setting up for some better reads later on. I enjoyed that this competition that she was in wasn‘t super forefront which I think left space for the main character to settle into the relationships that she will be involved in later. Onward!

Starting this finally. I hope I like it since I wasn't super impressed with assassin's blade.

I've finally decided to read this series. To be fair I LOVE the court series and Crescent series so I figured it was time to quit putting this one off. As far as a set up for the series this was a good start. I'm anxious to see how this plays out.

'Throne of Glass' was definitely better than 'Assassin's Blade'. I'm beginning to realise that SJM has stock characters that make her series' all a bit samey...although, to be fair, they are good characters! Starting a reread of an all-time fave- 'The Time Traveler's Wife'. Am reading with my Senior Book Club in school 💛👍

A small book haul from my local used book store ❤️ a couple of books I‘ve been wanting for a while!! #bookhaul #throneofglass #acofas #libbabray #allycarter #candles

Not bad, a lot of character deleopment for future books

I started and stopped this one in the past, but this time I powered through. I enjoyed it by the end, but I wasn‘t as caught up as I hoped to be. For a trained assassin, the main character felt very immature. What I‘m wondering is, does the series keep getting better? Is it worth continuing? I know that the first book is often the weakest in a series like this and I‘d love to hear feedback on if I should continue.

“He was done with politics and intrigue. He loved her, and no empire, no king, and no earthly fear would keep him from her. No, if they tried to take her from him, he'd rip the world apart with his bare hands. And for some reason, that didn't terrify him.”

Finished this one first for this year. Still just as good as the first time I read it. Continuing series will happen.

Given slavery or freedom, Celaena Sardothien chooses freedom-- the cost, a competition to see who can become the king's champion and personal assassin for hire. Not only must she compete against other ruthless assassins, but dark magic & jealously, too, as she catches the eye of the prince. YA & not as sensual as other Maas books such as A Court of Thorns and Roses.
