Reviews with content warning for Sexism - Throne of Glass

I enjoyed this book, despite what others said about it being slow or boring compared to the rest of the series. It was a fun beginning to what has become one of my favorite series ever.

Starting this series after finishing ACOTAR, I was expecting a very similiar world. And though I can see the similarities, it is very different. Best way to describe it is that TOG is a dystopian version of the world in ACOTAR. & so far, I am here for it.
I like the characters, I like the world, and I love reading stories like this one and ACOTAR, that are led by some very basass women! I can’t wait to dive deeper into it all!

A decidedly mid-tier fantasy book that reads like a mix between Hunger Games and ACOTAR. I like Hunger Games, but bailed on ACOTAR after two books. I think if you liked both series, you'll like this a lot. If you liked neither, definitely don't bother.

Sword of Glass' main character suffers from a mild case of not-like-other-girls syndrome. All the characters are a little bland and wooden and predictable. There are too many named characters who don't matter at all and die with little payoff. The plot is a bit meandering with several slow spots (including, curiously, the last several chapters). I just didn't really feel anything while I was reading, but I was reasonably entertained.

Finally! I have read Throne of Glass. Read this one as a buddy read with Danielle (and coincidently at the same time as my cousin Tori)! That always makes it more fun.

I don’t have anything to say that has not already been said by my friends here, let alone every other reviewer. I think I’ve been “primed” for TOG so much that I knew exactly what to expect and wasn’t disappointed.

I’m excited to see where it goes from here. At this moment, I am glad that I read Assassin’s Blade first. I have literally no opinion on the love triangle men yet, but hey, I’ll always take a captain of the guard and a Crown Prince.

Royalty-based, medieval-feeling romantasy always does it for me.
