For anyone that might have missed it. I didn't really like ACOTAR but after everyone said book 2 was better I read ACOMAF. I really liked it (even though it had some weaknesses) it was so much better. That's why even though I had heard the first 2 books in this series weren't the best, I'm still open to continuing. I'm not trying to torture myself for fun :)

My main problems were that Celaena was half a mary sue half actually ok character and they never left the castle. Really? Sarah J Maas made a whole fantasy world around the characters and they stayed in one place. If the second book wouldn't have ended in Celaena going to Wendlyn I wouldn't have continued the series.

For me, the problem I had with Throne of Glass was the tone of the book. You have a "hardened assassin" in a medieval fantasy setting who has the personality and emotional capacity of a modern YA contemporary character. It makes the entire book feel unbalanced and cringey.

I just started reading Throne of Glass recently and my reaction to was similar. I'm not really a critical reader and I've like a fair number of bad books, but so far from what I've read of this one I've just been really frustrated with it. I think I would have been less bothered if her flaws (like her vanity) were actually presented as flaws. Or if early on it actually showed her skills-- like opening with her escape attempt instead of mentioning it briefly. I'm still working on reading it because I really wanted to like it and I went into it really hopeful, but it's been a hard process.

Believe it or not, Celaena get even more insufferable as the series goes on. I first read the series in 2015 and by book 3 I was done with it but kept reading out of obligation. I was also not a very observant reader back then so I missed all the foreshadowing.While I'd be curious to hear your thoughts, I'd honestly say only continue to read them if you want to hate-read cause otherwise it's not worth the time or energy, especially if you didn't like the characters already. Also I've always read Chaol as Kale but I have no idea if that's right or not. Also also love the bunny ears headband!

YES. You absolutely have to continue. I have a love-hate relationship with this series, too. Though yours seem more like a hate-meh-hate relationship. This video made me laugh so hard! I have to say though, Heir of Fire really got to me and I'll probably continue with this series just because I like re-reading it. But Throne of Glass, oh it made me roll my eyes so much. Celaena's character was made to be so whiny, pompous and childish. It gets better though, you get used to her like you would an annoying best friend, she grows on you. Eventually. Give or take 3 books in. The writing also irritated me because it felt like the author wanted to include everything she loved in life into it (aka clothes, chocolates, books.) It's a bit much. It is supposed to be an assassin book after all. A lot of it felt out of line from the plot, unnecessary but included for the writer's whims. And please tell me that I'm not the only one who noticed the gazillion exclamation points in this book. I don't think you need that many exclamation points to get emotions across. I've pretty much rolled my eyes endlessly reading through this series. Something about her writing just cringes the heck out of me. I probably get exhausted reading her books, not for their sheer volume, but from tireless eye rolling. HOWEVER, yes there is a however, the plot does get good. Like REALLY good that it will make you want to stick it out just to find out what happens. So it's worth to give it a go. Plus even if you hate it Emily, it would be so fun watching you cringe your way through this series. I, for one, will be tremendously entertained. :D

agreed,when you read the whole series its epic.The dots must be connected from 'the assassins blade' till the last.Well, people have different tastes.

Hi Emily, I totally understand your opinions! Throne of Glass is one of my favorite series of all time. However, the first book is definitely not nearly as good as the rest of them. And I agree, Celaena is really not that great in the first book. However, there is significant character development throughout the entire series, and the love triangle and not what you think haha. I’m really glad you gave this book a chance though! It’s not for everyone, but I really enjoyed it.

I love this series sm! Personally I think it gets better from book 3 onwards. The first book was actually my last fav...

this series is so white, cis, straight and cliché for me. the plot is okay till book 3, after this one is kinda messy, the characters change abruptly to serve the plot and keep the story going. i think the fandom that the author gathered through the years is very loyal to her, they close their eyes to every problematic or sloppy point of the series due to their passion/obsession with the characters/worldbuilding and nostalgia feeling. well, that's my opinion, i loved this series at the beginning, but, fortunately, opened my eyes and used my reason instead of my emotion. :/

The thing you said with the eyes isn’t beceause of the romance, if you continue onto book two it’s a major factor of the plot. It’s actually just a smart thing that Sarah wrote about her eyes. I say definitely read number two

I love how you keep it so real! "I can't even finish the chapter before complaining about these characters!" Lol I couldn't finish this book because the characters were so horrible! That being said one of my favorite series had a horrible first book but I'm glad I pushed through to the second book, so maybe this is the case with Throne of glass?

I really wish they did this differently! I wanted to test it and the idea of watching it live with everyone and being able to respond to comments live is fantastic but... yeah :S
