Kingdom of Ash - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #7)

Image
I finally made it to the last book in this epic series and wow what a ride it was! So many things happened over the course of this series and there were so many characters I came to love/hate. Overall this entire series was a wild ride that had me feeling so many things from, hate to love, happiness to sadness. This last book was everything. I really enjoyed where she went with the story line and the characters, however I did feel that certain characters deserved better, yes even the ones I said I didn't like in the past. The best part of this book was when the different groups started to meet up with each other. I loved seeing the little reunions, it made my heart very happy. I kind of wish there was another book so that I can live in this world a little longer but I definitely feel that theses characters have been through more than enough and deserve some peace and quiet so when I am missing them, then I will just reread the series. I would definitely recommend ...

Tower of Dawn - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #6)

Image
Tower of Dawn follows the perspective of Chaol as he travels to the southern continent to see if he can heal his injury as well as recruit the Khagan to help assist in the war. I wasn't sure how I would feel about this book as I was eager to continue with Aelin's journey and story line to see what happened next but I loved this so much! I loved all the new characters, Irene the healer especially. I like that we had already met her in the Assassin's Blade and that now we got to see her story play out. Borte one of the Ruk riders was especially hilarious and I wouldn't mind a spin of series of her adventures. I feel her and Aelin would be fast friends and can't wait to see if they will actually meet.  I flew through this book. I think I read it faster than any of the others and once again I am a huge Chaol fan, don't know what I was thinking saying I wasn't sure I liked him anymore.  Can't wait to read the epic conclusion to the series! 5 o...

Empire of Storms - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #5)

Image
In Empire of Storms, our rag tag group of friends are on their way to gather an army to defeat Erawan. I loved seeing them all work together even when they were trying not to kill one another. It finally started to feel like all the pieces were coming together, right up until the ending when it all went to hell.  I don't even know how to feel about that ending. It makes me question how she is going to end this series. Will she break my heart...probably. I'm not ready but also dying to finding out. I loved seeing the interaction between all the different characters in this group. Also loved seeing some old characters come back into the story. Manon is also certainly starting to grow on me which is something I never thought I would say but here we are.  The next book in the series is told through Chaol's perspective and is a parallel novel to Empire of Storms so it looks like I will be waiting a while to see how this series wraps up. Definitely excited and nervou...

Queen of Shadows - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #4)

Image
What a wild ride this book ended up being. Some characters I didn't care for in previous books I ended up really liking and some characters I loved in previous books I ended up not particularly caring about anymore. Sarah J Maas has an amazing ability of making you love a character and by the next book you hate them. Just read the first 2 books in her Court of Thorns and Roses series to understand what I mean. So this book picks up where the last left off. Celeana is back in Rifthold to kill the king of assassins and claim her birthright. Naturally that would be too easy, so many things go wrong and it is disaster after disaster. We meets some new characters in this book which at this point should probably be hard to keep track off but each character is so different from another that it's easy to keep track of everyone. However, unlike the first 3 books I will say by the end of this book I was definitely feeling hopeful, like things were on the right track to a happ...

The Assassin's Blade - Sarah J Maas Review

Image
The Assassin's Blade comprises of 5 novellas set before the Throne of Glass series stars. While this is supposed to be read before Throne of Glass I'm glad that I waited to read it part way through the series as I feel like I know who Celeana is and it's interesting to see a little of how she got to be who she was. I feel that if I had read it before the first book I would have been confused.  Through the 5 novellas you get to meet Sam, Celeana's first love and how they went from hate to love. You also find out more about Arobynn and his character. There is also a cast of characters as she travels from remote islands to the red desert, some that you will love and some that you will hate.  This book is a whirlwind of emotions and I can't wait to continue on with the series!

Heir of Fire - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #3)

Image
In Heir of Fire we learn a lot more about Celaena and her heritage and we meet an array of new characters. While this series is quickly becoming one of my favourites, I have to admit I did not love this book as much as I liked the other two and that was mainly because of the addition of Manon and the other witches. I found the scenes with them tedious and it made me want to put the book down.  I did love the other new characters that were included especially Rowan and this book had some beautiful quotes in it. 'I claim you to whatever end,' 'She would bow to no one' and 'and then I am going to rattle the stars.'  I feel as the series goes on more and more trouble is around the corner. Like you think OK they just need to solve this crises and then everything will be OK but then something worse happens and then something even worse. If you think you know where Sarah J Maas is going with the story then you are wrong, there are twists and turns around ...

Crown of Midnight - Sarah J Maas (Throne of Glass #2)

Image
Wow what an ending! I still can't believe it! I'm dying to pick up the next book to find out what happens next in this series but I told myself I would only read on book per month of this series so it is going to be a long wait! If you are planning on reading this series don't do what I'm doing coz you will be dying to pick up the next book! Crown of Midnight follows shortly after Throne of Glass ending. Celaena has been given her first assignments for the king, kill or be killed.  Celaena is such an interesting character. An assassin who also has a conscious. She is nothing like you would expect and seems to do the unexpected so it is really interesting reading about her. You never know what she will do next. While I felt the first book had a lot more of Prince Dorian in it, this book was full of Chaol and I loved it! I love him and I definitely love him with Celaena. I do love the friendship Celaena has with Prince Dorian but I love the relationship she...

Throne of Glass - Sarah J Maas Review

Image
So I finally got around to starting this series and I have to admit, I wish I hadn't waited so long to start. I love this series so far! It follows Celaena Sardothien, 18 year old assassin fighting for her freedom by competing to become the King's royal assassin. I loved everything about this book. I love the writing, I love the cast of characters, I love the world and of course the actual story line. Celaena is such a strong female character and I wish I was as cool as she is. I love how she can kill anyone in the blink of an eye but at the same time has a soft side and people want to protect her. Prince Dorian is the sweetest little treasure, I hope he stays that way. Chaol might have been my second favourite character because he is so much like Celaena, a badass who is a big ol softie that deserves all the hugs. Princess Nehemia was also a favourite of mine and I absolutely loved the friendship between her and Celaena and I hope it continues through the res...
