Throne of Glass - Sarah J. Maas

I had actually finished reading this book March 14th, but have been really busy lately. I do not like to post blogs unless I get time to put some thought into what I am writing and what I have read. I am sure all of you appreciate that idea, I mean no one wants to read something that is a waste of time right? 

So here it is, my along waited review on "Throne of Glass." I have been anxious to read this series since I first laid eyes on it in the book store. The first thing that drew me to this book was the cover. I am sure if you have read my other book reviews, you will notice this is a major part of my decision making (not the only part) when choosing a book to read. The cover art is amazing on this book. Of course, I am aware of the alternate cover. However the picture I posted with this review is the cover that I seen and peaked my interest. However there is another cover to this series that later on I had found and definitely fell in love with.

Needless to say, I bought it right away to add to my collection. Yes I own the whole series in both covers. 

Continuing on with my review of this grand book that Sarah so graciously blessed us with. 

The story line is about a female assassin who was captured and imprisioned in a harsh camp, until one day she was released on the basis of competing in a tournament (is that really the word I would use for this). I just don't want to release any major spoilers for this book, because if you have not read this book, I definitely think you should. But be fair warned this is not a light read (at least it was not for me) so take your time and absorb the story. I really found that I did. I really started to feel as if I was getting to know the character personally. She was a great strong female role, and very quirky. A little on the rough side, but with her back story, I started to realize the reason why. Of course there is magical properties that show up in the story. And what book would not be complete without the love story part. 

I did however find that the last part of the book moved really fast. A wonderful build up throughout the book, but then BAM here is the action and then it's over. 

But don't let what I have said there stop you from picking this book up. I enjoyed this read immensely and would definately recommend giving it a read.
