Celaena is confined is a labour camp because of her crimes: she's the most feared assassin of Aderlan. But her life takes a better turn when the prince, Dorian, arrives at Endovier. He's searching for a champion in the tournament organized by his father. The winner will be the personal king's guard. This is also the occassion for Celanea to seek her freedom. 
 I know how it would have been gone. Everyone is Maas' lover and then.. here's me. When everyone love a book, or at least a gret part of the people in the world love a certain book, I know, I really know that I'm probably going to hate it, dislike it, find it decent just only for one bit. But sometimes I got a surprise and I fell in love with the series and its characters. 
 But not this time. No happy surprise her. 
 So, I read Throne of Glass because I felt that I needed bad to know why Maas and her books are so amazing. 
 But this book is not a masterpiece, neither is unique and special. It's a book that it's not high neither low but in between. I was expecting worst, I admit it. 
 A lot of people said to me how this series will be better and better after one book and another, but still I don't change my opinion. Neither I care how The Assassin's Blade's novellas are probably going to make me see Celaena under a different light. This book was pulished as the first one. This book must be the one that should had make fall in love with Maas's stories, and it didn't happened. 
 So... The writing style is not the thing that made me write a half-negative review of this book. I didn't find it brillant but it was still pleasant to read, so the real points are the plot and Celanea - and Maas' anxiety about her protagonist. The last one it's obiviously a joke, before yoo, Maas' lover, lash at me. 
 In this book many things happen, but I felt like it's all like a big introducition of many things, few characters but not enought stuffs, something that I can grab with my hands. 
 The book is based upon two situations: the tournament of the champions and Celaena that tries to discover something about magic. 
 But I felt no emphasis in both of them. Things just happen. 
 Celaena is able of doing everything without any kind of struggle. She's beatiful, amazing, perfect, incredibile, she loves candies, puppies and books. Obiviously. She was created like a bookworm with swords and assassin's skill... that actually she doesn't posses. She was create to be liked to readers and not like something that can moves on her own. Plus, what kind of books she read? For real, there were no details. 
 Plus, I really hate the work Maas put in Celaena beacuse she did to much! What I mean is that: Maas has the bad idea to write by herself how much Celaena is feared, amazing, beatiful and a lot of other spectacular things and facts, but I totally felt like I couldn't decide by myself if Celaena was really a great assassin or not. And in fact she is not. Neither I found her amazing, but only childish and arrogant. 
 Yes, there're few moments where Celaena is show in a bad condition, showing how much Endovier killed her body, but it's not enough. She still unable to save herself. 
 Celane is the biggest NO of all my life. 
 The other characters... Dorian, useless as only the most usless thing in the world could be, Chaol, nearly the only intelligente soul in the group, and Nehemia, which such a friend that hide verything to the only person who can trust. 
 Neither the worldbuilding gave me such a great impression. Everything was quite vague, a mix of old style fantasy with some kind of ghost-faeri-queen and monsters.... I seriously need more background and explenations. 
 Anyway, after this review of bloo and angry bookish feeling, I will try, as soon as I can, to read the secondo book of the series beacuse I really want to see "the better part" of this series and I hope to find it beacuse I feel just like some kind of outsider when it comes to Maas' books. I would lve to be obsessive over her characters just like a great part of the bookworms community
