Celaena Sardothien ist jung, schön und zum Tode verurteilt. Doch dann taucht Chaol Westfall, Captain der Leibgarde, auf und bietet ihr eine einzige Chance zum Überleben. Kronprinz Dorian hat sie dazu ausersehen, einen tödlichen Wettkampf zu bestreiten: Wenn es ihr gelingt, für ihn 23 kampferprobte Männer zu besiegen, wird sie ihre Freiheit wiedererlangen. Beim gemeinsamen Training mit Captain Westfall findet sie immer mehr Gefallen an dem jungen, geheimnisvollen Mann. Und auch der Kronprinz lässt sie nicht kalt. Zeit, über ihre Gefühle nachzudenken, bleibt ihr allerdings nicht. Denn etwas abgrundtief Böses lauert im Dunkeln des Schlosses – und es ist da, um zu töten.

A good, fast-paced read, but not quite as good as Maas's later work; certainly feels the Y in YA. Can be read as a standalone but is probably better if you continue on to read the whole series (I assume).

To summarize it briefly: Celaena, a proficient assassin, has been in the salt mines for a year when she is taken out by Prince Dorian and his guard captain Chaol to be the prince's candidate in a competition to find the next King's Champion. But someone, or something, is picking off candidates even outside of the competitions designed to winnow out the unworthy. Celaena's heart is also pulled into two directions, between the overtly romantic Dorian and the steadfast Chaol.

The major drawback to the book is that it's so clearly written to be part of a series. For instance, from very early on, I started to suspect that Maas …

Throne of Glass was a fun read. It was not particularly thought provoking, the characters were not particularly compelling, and the plot was not particularly inventive. It was still fun though. I enjoyed every page. There was not a point where it bogged down in nonsense as there so often is in a book that is trying to set up a large series. It kept up its pace, and kept my attention and for that I have to commend it. I liked the characters by the end of it. The two primary male characters were sort of two dimensional until about 3/4 of the way through the book, but they came into their own by the end. I would recommend it as what my wife calls "popcorn reading." Fun, but not nourishing.
