Throne of Glass by @sarahjmaas is an incredible start to a well-loved series!!! 💚🗡️

Blurb: 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.

Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

I finally began my epic journey in the Maasverse with ToG and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT!!! I fell in love with the world of Erilea and the amazing cast of characters. Aelin is such a bada** and I loved her confidence/determination to win the competition!!! Dorian and Chaol are super swoon-worthy and Nehemia is a wonderful ally. My only gripe was the narrator took me a while to get used to. I cannot wait to read/listen to the rest of the series!!! 😊⚔️🦌
