Well, I care what you think of me. I care enough that I stayed at this disgusting party just for you. And I care enough that I’d attend a thousand more like it so I can spend a few hours with you when you aren’t looking at me like I’m not worth the dirt beneath your shoes.” Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas - review".

Comment by ZaviothanFor people trying to transmog lvl19 - Rogue Twink (Alliance) this is what i think is the best pieces in-game(that is currently available!) and the set that I use.I'm going to spend my time camping the auction house for the Assassin's blade and farming honor for the Scouts Blade." This review will be a little different from my others for several reasons. This is a series we are way too deep into for me to go over each character or plot. I won’t me writing a super detailed review for each one, just a small summary, my favorite quote, and the rating.

In the inevitable aftermath of her actions in Pirateville, Celaena is sent into the blistering, unforgiving heat of the desert to train with the Mute Master, Arobynn's (infinitely more benevolent) Southern counterpart.This one was much better than the previous two. There were plot twists that literally made me gasp, and it was fast paced. I liked seeing more of Ansel's character as well. I'd felt meh about her in EoS and the beginning of KoA, I didn't really care for her. But in this one, I really liked her. But then she did some things and I began to dislike her. Now I don't know how to feel, but I think she was better in KoA. It pains me that I don't remember. a b Chase, Serena (August 16, 2012). "Review: 'Throne of Glass' by Sarah J. Maas". USA Today.

She knows they'll see each other again, but as much as she desires vengeance and is determined to get it:

The five novellas are so well written and woven together that this almost feels like a book in its own right. The story's teenage heroine, Celaena Sardothien, is introduced as an orphan who was raised and trained by an assassin. She is characterized as skilled, arrogant, and witty. While shaping her protagonist, Maas was inspired by the heroism of Eowyn from The Lord of the Rings, and by the characterization of Velma Kelly from Chicago. Maas has stated that the latter's "arrogance and fierceness made me want to write about a woman like her—about a woman who never once said sorry for being talented and determined and utterly in love with herself." [28]If you can learn to endure pain, you can survive anything. Some people learn to embrace it-to love it. Some endure it through drowning it in sorrow, or by making themselves forget. Others turn it into anger." The Assassin and the Empire - Celaena and Sam are determined to leave the guild but to do that, they need to buy their freedom from Arobynn (done) and the Assassin's Guild (not done). Celaena and Sam take one last job...only to realize far too late that it really will be their last job. "When we die," she said, "I don't think the gods will even know what to do with us."

Sam smiled, his brown eyes turning golden in the dawn. It was such a Sam look, the twinkle of mischief, the hint of exasperation, the kindness that would always, always make him a better person than she was.”

No podemos obviar que en todo esto, la causante que unas historias tan aparentemente sencillas sean tan espectaculares, es la Maas. Es de las pocas autoras que disfruto por el simple hecho de leerlas. No me pierdo ni una coma, ni una tilde, ni un punto. Todo me encanta, y lo que digo: disfruto muchísimo del concepto de leer con su estilo. Puede parecer una tontería, pero autoras como Sarah J. Maas me hacen recordar todo lo bueno y bonito que tiene la lectura.
