Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
3.0
ok i have read a lot of spoilers online whilst reading this so that does influence my opinion here n there but....
celaena celaena celaena... typical badass ya fantasy protagonist and yeah that typicality usually doesn't fail. she was interesting with her humour at times but overall she felt bland and not different to other characters i've read about. her whole thingy with dorian and chaol and her being indecisive felt a bit childish to me but i dunno i didnt like her vibe ig???? like she didnt sit right with me but i didnt mind too much but i did end up finishing this book. AND TO MENTION SHES AN ASSASSIN. HOW??????? she sometimes seems so ignorant of things and her surroundings it's hard to believe shes a criminal. i feel smarter than her and i know what might happen and as a top-class assassin U SHOULDNT BE OUTSMARTED BY ME!! i wanna be kept on my toes and shocked by her actions and she should be able to camouflage anywhere and i didnt really see any of her tough side nor her personal side (well properly anyway)
chaol and dorian also feel very typical and yeah they were meh ig but i didnt feel any chemistry with celaena for either of them personally. i just feel like everyone is very young and inexperienced.
the plot is actually kinda interesting and the idea of the competition seemed kinda cool. i did get bored at times which meant i would binge sections of these at a time and then not read it for a while cuz i found it plain.
the ending was kinda a blur to me and felt rushed but that did add to the excitement but it meant it kinda just happened and i had to swallow it.
IT JUST SEEMED SO GOOD AND JUST KINDA FLOPPED SOMEWHERE FOR ME.
the story just felt like it ended up to serve celeana's ....idk self??? like it was made to show her as beautiful, talented, wanted, different and it kinda bugged me. we didn't get to see other parts being looked into which coulda make the whole thing a lot more interesting.
i felt some parts were STRETCHED TO THE CORE and it was just gahhhh
and also i loved nehemia. she was the one to stand up to bs and use common sense but unfortunately i know what happens to her and will i continue this series bro unless im bored af... no
but the thing that led me from 2 to 3 stars (is my kindness jkjk) but the fact that i did wanna know what happened at the end and how the story may play out but then again maybe its cuz ive done so much reading for school ive finished this mediocre book
well at least its done and i can have trust issues with booktok again lmao
