The Throne of Glass of series consists of Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, Heir of Fire, Queen of Shadows and two more upcoming untitled books. The series gets better with each book. In Throne of Glass we meet assassin Celaena Sardothien, who has been enslaved in the salt mines of Endovier… she is offered  freedom by Prince Dorian… IF she can  win a tournament and become the king’s champion. Heir of Fire is the beginning of a new adventure for Celaena and her friends.

In addition, The Assassin's Blade consists of five novellas set before the beginning of the first book in the Throne of Glass world.

Heir of Fire was my favorite book in the series until I read Queen of Shadows. In Queen of Shadows Celaena embraces her true identity as Aelin Galathynius the Queen of Terrasen and I love it! She has traveled back to free her cousin, settle old scores with her former master, the king, and anyone who gets in her way. The book was worth the wait.

Here are some of my favorite quotes from Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas:

Favorite Quotes

1. "When you shatter the chains of this world and forge the next, remember that art is as vital as food to a kingdom. Without it, a kingdom is nothing, and will be forgotten by time. I have amassed enough money in my miserable life to not need any more-so you will understand me clearly when I say that wherever you set your throne, no matter how it takes, I will come to you, and I will bring music and dancing." (p. 141)
