Siedemnastoletnia Celaena jest wyszkolonym zabójcą, jednym z najlepszych, ale popełniła fatalny błąd. Została złapana i skazana na dożywotnią niewolniczą pracę w kopalni soli Endovier. Książę Dorian składa jej ofertę. Celaena musi walczyć na śmierć i życie w turnieju o tytuł królewskiego zabójcy. Jeśli wygra – będzie wolna, jeśli przegra – jej wybawieniem będzie śmierć.

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.

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.
