Summary SCREENRANT VIDEO OF THE DAY SCROLL TO CONTINUE WITH CONTENT Throne of Glass is beloved "romantasy" author Sarah J. Maas' first book series, and it leans more young adult and high fantasy than books like A Court of Thorns & Roses and Crescent City. Following assassin Celaena Sardothien as she fights to become the king of Adarlan's champion — and eventually to overthrow him — Throne of Glass is one of those series that raises the stake with every installment.
The second Throne of Glass book also makes the fatal mistake of killing off Princess Nehemia, a decision that hurts the overall legacy of Maas' series. Throne of Glass makes an effort to diversify its cast during its later books, but Nehemia is one of the few people of color in Maas' earlier installments. Killing her off in order to push Celaena's story forward is one of Maas' worst choices, and this insensitive development is still difficult to swallow more than a decade later.
5 Heir Of Fire Heir of Fire is when Maas' Throne of Glass series truly expands its world and roster of characters, and this proves both a blessing and curse for the 2014 novel. Looking back at Heir of Fire, it's undeniably one of the most important installments in the series, introducing characters like Manon and Rowan and pushing Celaena to embrace her true identity as Aelin Galathynius.
Tower of Dawn does an impressive job of expanding Maas' world, and it treats Chaol's new disability with care. It also does a lot of work to increase the diversity of Throne of Glass' cast, something that's sorely needed by the time book six begins. The biggest flaw when it comes to Tower of Dawn is that it's missing many of the other characters and storylines that readers love.
