Throne of glass by Sarah J. Maas

• Throne of glass is the latest book I have been reading. From my personal taste, I really enjoyed this book. 
  

It has a strong female protagonist named Celaena Sardothien who is 18 years old which I liked because usually it's a male or when it is a female she is usually shown as a weak, needy and useless until her main roll comes along. She has a strong, sassy personality to say the least, she is very intelligent, with good athletic ability which thanks to the year in Endover has decreased imencily. Her background it's self led to four short stories which are prequels to the main novel. The blurb tells us of Celaena who is/was Adarlan's greatest assassin however she is is now slaving away in a filthy salt mine of Endovier serving a life sentence. She was trained by the king of assassins but made one fatal mistake. She got caught. <-most of Celaena life story before her capture is written in the four short prequels.

The young cocky crowned prince of Adarlan offers Celaena a deal, her freedom for one sacrifice. Celaena must represent the Prince in a to-the-death tournament - fighting the most gifted thieves in the land. This is the main setting to the story but there is a lot of clockwork ticking away in the background that slowly unvails as the story progresses. 

Plot summery;

• The story starts with the Prince making the deal with Celaena who agrees with "of course I'm going to take the offer,I'll be your absurd champion if you agree to free me in three years, not five. (They settle on four which is still good).
• They then travel to the glass palace in Rifthold. She is shown to her room, where she meets her maid Philippa who tells Celaena off for using her real name (is convinced to use an alias of Lillian Gordaina to conceal her identity)
• They are given a set amount of weeks to complete training in which one consistent will be eliminated each test unroll four are left for a final duel. 
• As the training gets under way strange things begin to happen, consistent are being murdered but who is behind it. Unfortunately Celaena is the one who Destiny has chosen to find out. With a mysterious princess from a rebelling country, a meddling ghost of the first queen, jealous court lady's, blood thirty contestants, controlling babysitter and an evil king plus the contest it's not going to be easy.

I did really enjoy reading this book the plot twists really kept things interesting and the cliff hangers at the end of chapters I couldn't put this book down. However this probably won't be everyone's cup of tea as it contains adventure, romance,mystery, magic and murder. However if you like these then this book come highly recommend with detailed plot and character analysis you'll feel apart of the story. 

After reading the book or if you have read it, I would love to hear you'd opinion about it. If you love it as much as me or even if you hated it. Who was your favourite or least favourite character.
