Holy mother of names, I don’t think I pronounced a single one correctly while reading ToG, but I sure did enjoy it! As we enter phase 2 of the SJMassverse, I think I enjoyed Throne of Glass more than I did ACOTAR. Yeah, it’s a bit of a slower paced story but I’m such a sucker for books about medieval style competitions (Hunger Games, The Quillan Games, Goblet of Fire, etc.) so this was really easy for my to enjoy. In ACOTAR Maas got on my nerves with the phrase “vulgar gesture” and this time it was the plural “rooms.” I get that Celaena had multiple rooms in her chambers but referring to it constantly as “she left her rooms” and “he entered her rooms” sounded ridiculous. Oh and really not a fan of the love triangle trope. My biggest grievance is that

Sarah once again resorts to a Deus Ex Machina to solve her main character’s problems. Boringggggg

. But overall it was great and I can’t wait to dive into the next book in the series.
