Throne of Glass by Sarah J. MaasMy rating: 3 of 5 stars
I finally got to reading something from Sarah J. Maas after hearing about it A LOT in YouTube/BookTube circles. I get the sense that Sarah J. Maas' works are like Generation Z's Harry Potter. Either that, or she is very well marketed. I'm all for anything that gets teenagers reading!
As far as the book goes, it was fine! I borrowed it from my local library, and when I returned it, I also checked out the next two books in this series. I didn't find it terribly believable that a bitter, tough-as-nails assassin would be grinning at boys and kissing the prince (whose father, the king, is a horrible oppressive dictator) and fawning over dresses within a few chapters. I'm concerned for her mental health! As far as I can see, it's a fairly common criticism of this book.
I liked that the book answers enough about the world, but leaves enough mystery for further installments.
