I haven&#8217;t read one of those books in a very long time and I wanted this to be like that. This was a book I enjoyed reading because of the writing style and the way Sarah J. Maas can make magic with her words.<\/p>\n<p>The main character Celeana is fun and strong and I like her. Still, I think she sometimes is a bit too weak and whiny though. I get why a young woman would be like that, but the most famous assassin? Not so much.<\/p>\n<p>So, this is a book I can highly recommend for anyone to read. It&#8217;s masterfully written, had an interesting plot and great characters.<\/p>\n<p>You can get it at <a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Throne-Glass-Sarah-J-Maas\/dp\/1619630346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Amazon<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Throne-Glass-Sarah-J-Maas\/dp\/1619630346\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-143 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/erikawinterlia.winterlia.se\/web\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/throneofglass-200x300.jpg\" alt=\"throneofglass\" width=\"200\" height=\"300\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>by Sarah J.
