Throne of Glass
by Sarah J. Maas

Book Review: Throne of Glass By: Sarah J. Maas Throne of Glass is one of the best fantasy books I have read. It follows Celaena Sardothien, a famous assassin who has been imprisoned in a brutal labor camp. She is given a chance to earn her freedom by competing in a tournament against other criminals to become the king's champion. Along the way, she uncovers dangerous secrets hidden within the castle and learns that not everything is as it seems. One of my favorite parts of the book was the main character, Celaena. She is confident, clever, and incredibly skilled, but she also has emotional moments that make her feel like a real person. I also liked the friendships and rivalries she develops with the other characters because they made the story more interesting. The mystery surrounding the castle kept me guessing, and there were several unexpected twists that made me want to keep reading. The author does a great job of describing the world and making each setting feel alive. The action scenes are exciting without being confusing, and the slower moments help readers understand the characters better. Sometimes the beginning of the book felt a little slow because it spent time introducing the world and the competition, but once the story picked up, it became hard to put down. I would recommend Throne of Glass to readers who enjoy fantasy, adventure, mystery, and strong characters. It has action, magic, and suspense that keep the story exciting from beginning to end. Overall, I would give this book 5 out of 5 stars because it has an engaging plot, memorable characters, and a story that made me excited to read the next book in the series.

I liked this book, really, even though many people say that this book is the worst, I liked it, yeah I admit was pretty fast. BUT, Grover carried the match. In his wedding dress with a CYCLOPS, literally the best. And l cried a little over the bond with Tyson and Percy and not many books make me cry.

One of my favorite books from my favorite series written by Jeanne DuPrau, Escape the Vortex, tells how the team of 4 and their alien companion gets the 5th element to create "The Source" to save Earth. Their fourth member, the medic, got kidnapped by the other team in the last book, so now they are trying to save her after getting the element. will the save her, or not? I would recomend all sci-fi fans to read this book and series.

I worked at Middletown Library during this book's first wave of popularity and never got to read it because we literally couldn't keep it on the shelf. I see why it's popular, but it definitely feels like a prequel to the next one, since it ends juuuuust as she finds her passion for drawing.

Hot Mess

This book was really good and funny. I thought it was funny when the family went on vacation together-even all the cousins. It was funny to see the family rivalries and all the adventures they got up to. I liked the part where everyone went somewhere on their own and Greg became an influencer. The best part was the plat twist(s) at the end.

This book was a very enjoyable read. The story is about a young singer-song writer who is a star on the rise, singing about the hard life she left behind her. She heads to Nashville to claim her destiny. The darkness from her past that she fled from might find her and destroy her. The collaboration of these two authors made a very enjoyable book.
