Title: The Assassin’s Blade/ Book #1 of the Throne of Glass series
I was told about this series of books recently and ever since I’ve been hearing whispers around town of how great it is. And truly they were not wrong! This book is so smartly written. How ever did Mz. Maas come up with this entire race of people, names of countries and cities within as though it had always existed outside the realm of the authors’ imagination?
There were a few parts that I found that I could pick apart but it wasn’t enough to stop me from reading on and being happy that I did. I am excited to get to the next story.
Truly great fight scenes abound throughout this selection of novellas that seemed almost as though one continuous book that was split into parts as opposed to individual stories. Celaena was a wily one and scene after scene triumphed with great swordplay and action that would make any medieval author/reader proud.
