Loyal. Legendary. Enter the world of Throne of Glass with the first book in this complete, #1 bestselling series by Sarah J. Maas, author of the Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series. In a land without magic, an assassin is summoned to the castle. She 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 competition, she will be released from prison to serve as the King's Champion. Her name is Celaena Sardothien. The Crown Prince will provoke her. The Captain of the Guard will protect her. And a princess from a faraway country will befriend her. 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. Thrilling and fierce, Throne of Glass is the first book in the #1 bestselling series that has captivated readers worldwide. Other books in this series include: Crown of Midnight Heir of Fire Queen of Shadows Empire of Storms Tower of Dawn Kingdom of Ash The Assassin's Blade (prequel novellas) Review: Thrones of Glass - Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas is an exciting fantasy novel that had me hooked from the very first chapter. It has everything I enjoy in a book—action, mystery, magic, romance, and plenty of unexpected twists. The story follows Celaena Sardothien, Adarlan's most notorious assassin, who is given the chance to win her freedom by competing in a deadly contest to become the King's Champion. However, as the competition unfolds, the contestants begin to be murdered by something dark and terrifying lurking within the castle. Celaena must not only fight to survive the competition but also uncover the truth behind the mysterious deaths. The characters are one of the book's greatest strengths. Celaena is strong, witty, and full of secrets, making her an unforgettable heroine. The Crown Prince Dorian and Captain of the Royal Guard Chaol add an enjoyable possible love triangle, while the slow-building relationships and enemies-to-lovers tension keep you invested. Lady Kaltain is ambitious and jealous, determined to become the future queen, while Duke Perrington and his brutal champion, Cain, add even more danger and intrigue. I also loved the mysterious ghost of an ancient queen, whose appearances added an eerie and magical element to the story. The mix of betrayal, ancient magic, evil creatures, political intrigue, and deadly competition kept me guessing throughout. Every chapter revealed something new, making it difficult to put the book down. I thoroughly enjoyed Throne of Glass and would highly recommend it to anyone who loves fantasy with strong characters, mystery, romance, and plenty of action. Sarah J. Maas has created an incredible world that left me excited to continue the rest of the series. I would happily give this book 5 out of 5 stars. Review: Worth a read, not without flaws - All Celaena claims to want is her freedom. If she represents the prince in a deadly tournament, wins, and becomes the king’s champion for four years, she’ll finally get it. She happens to be the most famous assassin in all the land, so winning and taking down anyone in her way should be pretty easy, right? But what if freedom isn’t all she wants? And what if there are bigger things, evil things, at work? This book is not without its flaws, but I really enjoyed it. It has a bit of everything, action, romance, magic, politics, drama etc. There are a few twists, but you’re likely to see most of them coming. Also, some things seem a bit farfetched, like Celaena being left alone with the Prince (er, hello, she’s a killer!), but hey, that’s fiction! There is a nice spread of characters to bring out different traits in Celaena to vary the pace and upset her emotions. Celaena is a very conflicted character, which, in my opinion, makes her hard to write about and unlikeable to some readers. But it also makes her interesting. On one hand, she is a talented assassin, she could break your neck without blinking. That makes her cold-hearted and annoyingly good at everything. But on the other, she is a teenage girl. She wants friends and craves affection. She has flaws and weaknesses. Positives: Generally a good-paced, varied, story that is easy to slip into. It held my interest enough to keep me reading to the end, and I want to read the next book. The writing flows well. The action is written particularly well, clueing the reader in to how little Celaena takes down big burly men. Some phrases are reused but not frustratingly so. The setting and descriptions are pleasant, concise and clear. Negatives: Some characters (especially Celaena) are like marmite. You’ll like them or they’ll drive you mad. I didn’t like the lack of back story. The author reveals snippets of Celaena’s past, what happened to her family and how she was trained, but there is no detail. Other main characters have no back story at all. It makes them hard to care about because you don’t understand what has made them this way. Hopefully the author makes up for this in the rest of the series. A few points in the story are not clear enough. I didn’t understand why this tournament was going on in the first place. Maybe I misread a section, but the idea should be enforced throughout the story. We hear about this war going on but I never really understood that either. The Verdict: I really enjoyed this and recommend this book to those who like fantasy, romance and originality. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 2,500,464 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 3 in Teen & Young Adult (Books) 6 in Romantic Fantasy 6 in Epic Fantasy (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.4 out of 5 stars 195,118 Reviews | ## Images ![Throne of Glass: 1 - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/81-Q8ViJHhL.jpg) ## Available Options This product comes in different **Media Language, Media Format** options. ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Thrones of Glass *by K***R on 17 July 2026* Throne of Glass by Sarah J.

What I didn't expect was to immediately become invested enough to realise there are MANY more books in this series and my reading schedule is now completely ruined. 😂 Celaena is such an interesting main character — confident, sarcastic and deadly, but with enough vulnerability to make her feel like much more than the typical unbeatable fantasy heroine. There's a good mixture of mystery, competition, friendships, romance and darker moments, with plenty happening to keep the story moving. As the first book in a much bigger series, there is naturally quite a bit of world and character setup. It doesn't have the enormous scale of the later books straight away, but knowing where the series eventually goes makes this such an important starting point. **Pros:** memorable main character, intriguing fantasy world, mystery, action and plenty of reasons to immediately buy book two. **Worth knowing:** this is the beginning of a long series, so some elements are still being established and the story grows considerably bigger as the books progress. Five stars for the book. Zero stars for Sarah J. Maas casually stealing the next several weeks of my life. 😂📚 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ ## Frequently Bought Together - Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass, 1) - Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, 2) - Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass, 3) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.de/products/778333414-throne-of-glass-1](https://www.desertcart.de/products/778333414-throne-of-glass-1) --- *Product available on Desertcart Germany* *Store origin: DE* *Last updated: 2026-09-27*
