She has returned to Adarlan, as she promised, to save her cousin Aedion – who is about to be executed to liberate Prince Dorian if she can to avenge the harms done to her and those she loved by the master assassin who trained her and to free up magic once again. By now, however, we know that she is actually the thought-to-be-dead heir to the throne of Terrasen, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius. We first get to know the heroine at age 18, in her guise as Celaena Sardothien, a.k.a. But Maas takes these elements and adds remarkably original world building, great characters who actually grow as the series progresses, and epic themes – in short, all the elements of stand-out fantasy. This young adult fantasy series has the usual mishmash of familiar themes from other fantasies and dystopias, ranging from Harry Potter to the Divergent series to Hunger Games. I love it when authors actually get better over time! This is the fourth book in the “Throne of Glass” series, and I decided to give it is own review, because I think it is even better than the three books preceding it (although it is by no means a standalone novel). Note: Spoilers for all previous three books in the Throne of Glass series
