Title: Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass series Book 1) Pdf
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.
A series for all ages!!! Okay, truth...my daughter is 10 and in the 5th grade. Grandpa, an avid reader like myself, went out on a limb and bought the book for her last Easter. We struggle to find books that are in her 8.4-9.5 reading level, have age appropriate content with a plot she has the life experiences to connect to and comprehend, that are also challenging AND interest her...tall order. We have read all the popular series - adore Harry Potter, of course; tore through the "Greggor the Overlander" series, etc. - so even though in previewing the series I noticed it contains some very minor-vanilla...no F-bombs or S$$T level, mature-type language, and there are a couple scenes that hint at an intimate relationship in book 2 (trying not to spoil books), I gave the book a green light. We started reading it together, taking turns reading aloud, and were BOTH immediately, read 30-40 pages at a time, wake up needing to see what happens to Celena, come home from school hoping to fit in a read and "see what Celena has gotten up to now" before dance, hooked like I have never seen her before!!! And while she is an awesome reader, she is not, by any means a sit & read person, preferring to dance, sing, socialize, game, etc...yet another challenge to add to the list. The challenged are important to note because the way Maas has crafted the characters has achieved what NO OTHER series has for my daughter, and that is to draw her in to the point she NEEDS to keep reading, every single day. The characters are beautifully developed to the point where my daughter was crying when she thought her favorite character died, and was angry at who did die. Maas has painstaking developed 3-dimensional characters that are ever evolving, and that are relatable to all ages. She has also created an entirely new setting that is similar enough to other books of the same genre, like Hunger Games (she has read/watched all), yet it is entirely new & fresh. The writing is clear & thought-provoking, and she weaves in asides & flashbacks that challenge and engage readers. We have had the most incredible conversations and my daughter has made multiple connections to other texts, movies, life, and especially music/song lyrics while reading. These connections are the reason I personally & professionally recommend the series to children beginning at age 10 who are reading at a 6.5-7+ grade level, primarily due to the challenging vocabulary. The twists and turns, the co afflicts & themes, character interactions, vivid & selected detailing, and obviously careful/thoughtful word choices make this series, in my opinion, an award winning, best selling series. As a reading specialist and 18 year veteran teacher of struggling readers, I fully give not just this book, but the entire series 5 stars! I could rave on and on...but I don't want to give away a single detail and only, sincerely hope what I have shared has piqued your curiosity enough to give the series a try yourself, along with a loved one, and that through sharing our personal experiences with the books I have helped answer the question of reader age appropriateness & interest level. Buckle up...it's a wild, wonderful ride through Adarlan!let me tell you that I LOVED Sarah J Maas' A Court of Thorn and Roses ... First, before I'm hung by all the fans, let me tell you that I LOVED Sarah J Maas' A Court of Thorn and Roses series. That is why when I came into this one it felt like such a huge let down. In essence, I could care about these characters more, but I just don't. I feel like I'm not given enough to care about them at all. Caelena could be very interesting, I mean, she's a freaking assassin, and yet, she's not given enough emotions, background, character, for me to give a damn. The story in this book is also very lacking. There are so many other ways that this could have been so much more interesting. It feels like such high stakes for her, but I don't feel it. It feels like she's just going to win, from the beginning. In ACOTAR I knew Feyre was going to triumph, it was that kind of story, but the journey was so much more interesting. It may also be that this book is written for a much younger audience, but I don't think so. I read YA all the time, and this felt flat compared to her other work. I feel like the depth into the characters and story is just not there, which left me regretting I even started it. I'm glad that I bought the single book and not the series, because I would have wasted my money. Someone said on YT that it picks up around book 3, but who wants to stick around for 3 books before getting the kind of satisfaction that you want from the beginning. I feel that Sarah J Maas must have grown as a writer, because she did with ACOTAR what she couldn't do with this one, learning from its mistakes. As a writer, thank you, so I can learn from yours.
