Publisher's Summary
Bloomsbury presents Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.
Enter the realm. Unleash the darkness. Live the legend.
In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. Celaena Sardothien has no love for the vicious king who rules from his throne of glass, but she has not come to kill him. She has come to win her freedom. If she defeats twenty-three murderers, thieves, and warriors in a deadly competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion.
But something rotten dwells in the castle – and it's there to kill. When her competitors start dying mysteriously, one by one, Celaena’s fight for freedom becomes a fight for survival – and a desperate quest to root out the evil before it destroys her world, and the people she has come to love.
Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 New York Times bestselling series that has captivated listeneres worldwide.

good start
I think spanning 8 books is too much, should have been done as a trilogy

An entertaining and well-written fantasy book.
Even after reading The Assassin's Blade and knowing what was to come I was not ready for this book at all. Throne of glass surpassed my wildest expectations from a fantasy genre. No wonder Sarah J Mass is the queen of world building. The setting of this book mind boggling and captivating. This book has it all from assassins, demons, ghost of a warrior queen and fighting tournaments. The story is detailed and book is lengthy it took me days to finish listening to this book. Even though Celaena is hands down a great female lead but at times I found myself getting annoyed at her thoughts and stubbornness. I am hoping her character develope well over the next books. the narrator has done an excellent job.

An interesting read
I quite enjoyed the story though I don't think I would count it as 1 of my favourites. The story felt a little awkward at some points and didn't always connect.
I enjoyed the narration quite a lot and it met the high standards set by other audiobooks that I have listened to.
Despite me not enjoying the story as much I will continue the series as I like the world built by the author.

Pretty decent
I really got into this story after a while, to where I just couldn’t stop listening, but it took a bit to get there. The main character was a bit annoying at first and some of the writer’s phrases annoyed me, but honestly I can look past that because I enjoyed the story. Overall, I would recommend it, but it’s not at the top of my list of favorite fantasy stories. I will however be getting the sequels because I just. Have. To. Know. What. Happens.!

A girly, simplistic story
I'm probably not the target audience, based on book database rating I expected a better story. classic clichés, flat characters.

Dissappointing
Having just heard another series by Maas, I expected to like this one.
I didn’t. I didn’t like the main character, the love triangle, or how a book about an assassin skipped over almost all of the fighting and action, and focused on the main character reading or eating candy... Or dressing up in pretty dresses.
After listening to the entire book, I don’t know much more than I did and could guess from the first chapter.
Also, the narration bugged me. She miss pronounced a few words, like wyvern (I even looked it up to make sure I hadn’t been saying it wrong myself), and some of the voices she used made it hard to like characters that I othervise would have liked, such as the prince.

Not great
I listened to the court books by the same author and I was the best book I have heard in a while. This is boring and bad. Worst as I was so wanting to like it I listen to it for like 3 hr and it’s still rubbish and I can’t now return it. I really think it had so much potential but is so bad. There is no chemistry between the characters and the choices make no sense. And the story line seems over done at this point... I mean We all know the hunger games....

Did not enjoy
The book didn't really suck me in, character development wasn't great, I felt no attachment to any of them, I don't like that the main character is supposed to be a hardened assassin yet she has no mental trauma from her harsh upbringing and starts swooning over the first two men she interacts with, the bad guy is almost cartoonish, he has no depth or personality beyond being evil, and the writer using wording like "she suddenly felt the urge to kiss him hard on the mouth" sounds like something a 13 year old would write, also the captain of the kings guard despite directly serving an evil murdering king he acts as though death is new to him, seems a stretch, not to mention the fact that this supposed "worlds best assassin" can't escape past a couple guards and vanish into the night...
feel I wasted a credit on this book.

Awful
This is just truly terrible. Don't recommend if you like reading, or fantasy books in general. None of the characters decisions make any sense, and the 'humour' is so recycled and cringy. The writing is pretty bad, and there is no depth whatsoever. The plot is bizarre, as everyone just ignores huge events/red flags, in order to keep the storyline going. I still do not understand why they kept referring to her as 'the worlds greatest assassin' as she seems truly terrible at it, she literally loses her first fight scene. The pick-me girl vibes are awful too, as the character makes comments like 'I don't get on with other girls'. Also the relationships read like a 13 year-old girls fantasy and are incredibly difficult to relate to in the slightest. It's hard to imagine why she'd actually want either one of them.
The narrator's voice is super jarring, and she mispronounces so many words. I couldn't believe it when she mispronounced the word 'shone', I played it multiple times I was so shocked. Would recommend if you fancy a laugh, because it was incredibly entertaining in that respect. But if you are looking for a compelling read, this is not it.

Another really enjoyable book by Sarah J Maas. Sarah's imagination is something to be marvelled at.
I'm very much looking forward to reading the next one in the series!!
Elizabeth's narration is perfection.

Absolutely fabulous.
I have read this book so many times and decided to get the series on audible to listen to in bed when I can’t sleep or when I’m sewing.
Highly recommend this series, Sarah J Mass is a wonderful author and Elizabeth Evans is my favourite narrator.

Bad, very bad
Imo
A really terrible story, reminiscent of The Hunger Games.
I guess if you are filled with teenage angst or nostalgia for the literary level of fan fic we had with the Twilight series then this may be for you. But if you are a fan of the fantasy genre or books in general, then I would not recommend.
Maybe instead try Game of Thrones, or The Gentleman Bastard series.

Wow just WOW! What an epic series this is! A must!
I've just finished this whole series (which started here, with this book) & can I say that I've not been this hooked on an audio book since I listened to Stephen King's Dark Tower series.
Elizabeth Evans was excellent, a fabulous epic bit of narration - she did a truly amazing 'job' of this series, although you can tell her love for the books so it's more of a work of love than a mere job!
The writing, the plot & subplots, surprises, twists, characters (my gosh the characters!!) a herculean writing effort by Sarah Maas that was outstanding. I haven't cried, cheered, worried like this in... ever!?
I'm worn out in a way but oh so satisfied. I am sorry it's done, whatever am I to do with my days now?
Seriously, please, please, please do yourself a favour & get & listen to this whole series - you won't be disappointed. it's so good and I'm really going to miss my daily dose of Ailian, Rowen, Dorian, Kael, Manon and there's too many wonderful characters (all now embedded in my memory & pysche!) to list but I'm just in awe of the writing & narrating. it was superb. thank you Sarah & Elizabeth & Audible. Thank you very much!

It was okay
I'm planning to read the rest of the books but this first one had so many things that annoyed me, I could take it or leave it. I came from this authors other series and found very similar issues which I had with acotar- the way she writes other women, flimsy plot and unnecessary head hopping. I saw a lot of repeat characters and instances.
The main character was built up to be so great but her actions and reasoning didn't back it up at all. For someone meant to be so clever and skilled, she did a lot of stupid things and came off as novice boardering naive. And the love triangle is infuriating because I'm pretty sure she won't end up with either of them. It's the same thing this author did in her other series. I guess if you liked her other stuff you'll like this too but I hope it gets better as I get through the series.

Terrible narration
I think the story might be ok, if read differently, but the emphasis is overdone and puts meaning into the words that affects the characters. Only made it halfway through. I’d heard good things about the sequel, but I’m afraid I won’t make it to the next one!

Awesome start to the series
Absolutely great book, just as good as I remember when I first read it almost a decade ago in my teens.
The narrator played each character superbly.
Highly recommended book and can't wait to continue listening

Loved reading the books and loved hearing the audio!
The best series & the audible version did not let me down! I read the box set a few years ago so when I saw the Throne of Glass books in the sale section of Audible I jumped right in and bought them all! I was not at all disappointed & in fact I picked up parts I missed reading it.
Love the Author, love the narrarator. Might even reread & listen again to see what else I missed 😍💖

Promising !
Started this series after being reintroduced to fantasy by the ACOTAR series. Intriguing story, with subtle hints of romance. Enjoying Sarah J Maas's writing style. I'm aware it's YA so the story isn't romanticly graphic/smutty, but looking forward to more romance themes as the series progresses.

Addictive!
The narrative sucks you in from the very start and doesn’t let you go! This is well worth reading/listening to. Not the biggest fan of American accents but Elizabeth Evans does other voices well.
