A prince from a royal kingdom, and his best friend who is also the captain of the king’s guard, rescue her from slavery so that she can compete to become the king’s assassin. These are just my thoughts about a series I never really loved, and a conclusion that I thought was a little too convenient.Īnd if you are new to the book world, or just never bothered to actually look up the synopsis, Throne of Glass is a series about a young assassin that is enslaved. I’m not looking to hurt anyone’s feelings if you have been hurt by SJM - you are valid, and if the book means more than words to you - you are valid. This review isn’t going to be a drag or a gush, it’s just going to be my thoughts and feelings on what I did love and what I did hate. And, in true Sarah J Maas fashion, the book was ungodly longer than it truly needed to be. And I always feel like the characters I do end up liking from this world, get the bad end of the stick. I’ve had a rocky journey with Throne of Glass even before it became “cool” to dislike this series and even before the stans thought it would be “cooler” to ignore all the gross, problematic elements. Here is the thing – if you have loved this series from the start, you are probably going to love this conclusion and be very happy upon turning that last page.
It reminds me of reading Harry Potter with my friends back when I was little, and there really are no words to even begin to describe that feeling, because it truly transcends words and language. All of us updating, crying, and swooning at the same times all over social media. And there are no words I have to describe the feeling that I get while reading a book with what feels like the entire book community. I had a good time reading Kingdom of Ash.
“Once upon a time, in a land long since burned to ash, there lived a young princess who loved her kingdom…”
