![]() ![]() I'd love to be able to fight like a badass but it doesn't mean I couldn't still like to look nice doing it! This doesn't mean that main characters like Katsa from 'Graceling' are bad for not being girly enough, I just like Maas's particular and different take on girls in combative settings. ![]() In my opinion, it makes it even better! Celaena is still a teenage girl these things make her more realistic and more easy to relate to. Throne of Glass has been criticised by some for its protagonist being a world famous deadly assassin and yet enjoying dresses and make up. The sprawling medieval-style world is brought alive by detailed imagery of open landscapes bordered with mysterious forests and cloud-topped mountains. Maas's vivid descriptions transport you to Erilea so that you're standing with Celaena throughout her (mis)adventures. Ten years ago, however, the king banned magic, slaughtered many Fae and began his overthrow of royal families. Maas's world is rich in culture and history. ![]() Celaena is all at once provoked by the prince, protected by the captain of the guard and befriended by a foreign princess… and someone starts picking off the contestants. The Crown Prince offers her a deal Celaena represents him in a tournament to find the king a champion to use as his personal assassin, and after four years, she can finally reclaim her freedom. ![]()
