About the Throne Of Glass series
Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass began as a Cinderella-with-an-assassin retelling and grew into a sprawling, eight-book high-fantasy epic. Celaena Sardothien, the kingdom's most feared assassin, is dragged from a salt mine to compete to become the king's champion — and slowly uncovers a destiny far larger than she imagined.
The series is famous for its ambitious scope, its enormous cast, and a mid-series transformation that turns a court intrigue into a world-spanning war against ancient evil. Readers either love or are overwhelmed by how big it becomes — and the devoted majority love it.
There is a genuine reading-order debate, centred on where to slot the prequel-ish "Tower of Dawn" and "Assassin's Blade". Most readers go publication order; some prefer a hybrid order that runs "Tower of Dawn" alongside "Empire of Storms". Either way, start with "The Assassin's Blade" novellas or "Throne of Glass" itself.
