​After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.

       Throne of Glass (88%) was my first high fantasy read of the year, and I am so glad I picked it up. I had heard tons of hype about it, and with a few of the books in the series already published, I decided I better see what all the commotion was about.
​       Going into this book, I was interested to see how Mass wrote the strong, female heroine, Celaena. I loved the fact that she was very complex, but real at the same time. The way Mass wrote Celaena's story made me dying to know more about her and what she went through.
       With that being said, can we just take a moment to appreciate the elegance that we call the plot of this book.

       From all of the details to the big twists and turns, every single part was thought out in depth. Props to SJM for writing this book with the brilliance she did. My personal favorite aspect of the plot was the introduction of Queen Elena, and her contribution to Celaena's story.
​        Last, but certainly not least, the love triangle in this book was probably the best one in a YA book I have read. It added to the story just enough without overpowering the plot. SJM slides the triangle in right under your nose to kind of notice it, but not say to yourself, "Oh, no. Here we go again with another YA love triangle."
