I reread this series 7-10 times a day and I know there are many reading order suggestions so do what feels right BUT in my personal opinion Let me start by saying, DO NOT START TOG WITHOUT READING THIS FIRST! This is VITAL information going forward. I reread this series 7-10 times a day and I know there are many reading order suggestions so do what feels right BUT in my personal opinion as someone who has consumed this series about 40 times AB is vital backstory that informs absolutely everything in book one Throne of Glass, and skipping it means you miss a character arc that truly effects the entire series.

Now, to my long awaited review. I’ve been meaning to write this forever but haven’t because whenever I reread TOG I am so swept away I don’t want to do anything but read it and theorize lmao. Nothing! But it’s time and I’m here to admit, this is my emotional support series. Why? Because not only is this an incredibly well written series with complex characters and themes, but every single time I reread it I find something new, even though I reread it 7-10 times a year. Celaena is our bad ass-sassin FMC who is the perfectly imperfect morally grey villainous hero. She’s trained since she was a child to be a masked killer and heir to the King of the Assassins and his guild of the territories most skillful killers. When the story opens Celaena and her competitor in arms at the guild Sam Cartland are sent on a vital mission to demand retribution for the death of a fellow guild member at pirate hands. But, when they meet with Pirate lord Rolf, they soon find nothing us at it seems, and they have a very big moral dilemma on their hands. The events that unfold change Celaena in more ways than can be described, and inform who she is, and where her path leads from the decisions she makes this fateful trip to Skulls Bay. Who she will be when this is all over? Someone she may not recognize, but trust me, you’ll be rooting for her to get the mightiest of revenges!

I read using audiobooks for accessibility, and this is my favorite audiobook series of all time. Elizabeth Evans is my favorite narrator and can do no wrong in my eyes. She has fantastic voices for male and female characters, never over acts and brings so much life to each character with her diverse voices for each. They are entirely distinguishable from each other and fit each character’s personality, region and backstory so well they feel real. I cannot screech into the void enough about how much I love this audiobook and trust me, if you love audiobooks or are trying them for the first time START HERE! Elizabeth Evans will have you hooked! ...more "
