Throne of Glass Review

          Throne of Glass takes place in a mythical world know as Erilea which is ruled by one man that won't stop until he has conquered the world. The protagonist is Celaena Sardothien who earned the title of Adarlan's Assassin. She was thrown into the salt mines of Endovier for one year just to be saved by the Crown Prince of Adarlan who is known as ,in the book, Dorian Havilliard. Dorian picked Celaena up for a tournament to become the king's champion. But why Celaena, well he picked Celaena as a act of Defiance to his father because his father had started to become questionable and Dorian often disagreed with him. The tournament would take place in the king's castle in the city of Rifthold. Here it would be that Celaena would be faced with several challenges.

          She was tasked with winning the tournament, hiding her relationship with the prince, and defeating the evil that lurked in the forgotten passages under the castle. During the tournament she becomes friends with the princess of Eyllwe known as Nehemia Ytger. The princess is there to learn the common tongue and their lifestyle but is really there to get information on Adarlan's troop movements in her kingdom. Nehemia is skilled in wyrdmarks, which is a power outside of magic and is very powerful. She hides her skill in wyrdmarks because magic has been outlawed by the king but magic happens to be gone completely gone anyways

        It is a overall good book that kept me wanting to read more and read the sequel "Crown of Midnight".
