Throne of Glass: From the # 1 Sunday Times best-selling author of A Court of Thorns and Roses

I've never liked overconfident main characters but Celaena is the only one I that has turned me off an entire book. I also think she is a really poorly thought out character. For somene who has been an assassin for nine years to become the best assassin in the whole kingdom is not possible, unless all the other assassins are incompetent. Also she would have been considered a child at the time considering the fact that she had her eighteenth in the mine.

There aren't many books I put down and can't be bothered to pick up again - I love stories and will continue reading terrible, ungrammatical prose for a good/fun plot and characters. This could have been fun. It wasn't. It could have had entertaining character interactions, a clash of personalities and backgrounds. It didn't. Everyone felt like a piece of cardboard with a couple post-it notes for 'character development'.

WORST BOOK EVER! The plot is good, the situation is good and quite exciting, but Celaena is not a suitable protagonist. It is only said that she is Adarlan's greatest assassin but the way she behaves(scowling all the time and showing off new dresses and jewelry), most importantly she failed every mission given to her(from the beginning) and gets fooled by her master! Still a greatest assassin, still! The King of Adarlan chooses her as his champion and ask her to do his dirty business of killing off the rebellion and at the same time he wants celaena to be discreet. How can she hide her identity when she was publicly chosen??! The book promises a good adventure but fails to give the thrill.
