Throne Of Glass Series In Order

Okay, so you've heard whispers. Maybe your best friend won't stop talking about it. Or perhaps you saw a TikTok edit that made your jaw drop. It's time. Time to dive into the wild, wonderful world of Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series. But where do you even start? Don't worry, we're here to guide you through this epic adventure, without any of the bookish jargon that'll make your eyes glaze over. Think of this as your "Throne of Glass for Dummies" – but with more sass.

The Assassin's Blade (Prequel)

Let's kick things off with The Assassin's Blade. Now, some people will argue about where this fits in the order. Read it first? Read it fourth? Our take? Read it first! This is a collection of novellas that introduces you to Celaena Sardothien, our kick-butt heroine, before she gets all…royal. Think of it as getting to know your favourite celebrity before they got famous. You see her training, her friendships (and betrayals!), and understand what makes her tick. Plus, it has some seriously swoon-worthy moments (R.I.P. Sam!). Trust us, you'll thank us later for starting here because when the main series starts, you'll already be emotionally invested. Like, ugly-crying invested.

Throne of Glass

Next up, it's the book that started it all: Throne of Glass. This is where Celaena, now a prisoner in the salt mines, gets a "get out of jail free" card. Well, kind of. She has to compete in a deadly competition to become the King's Champion. Think The Hunger Games, but with more magic, more political intrigue, and way, way more flirting. Expect to find yourself yelling at the book, cheering for Celaena, and questioning every character's motives. Just remember to breathe.

Crown of Midnight

Alright, Celaena won the competition (spoiler alert!), but now she's stuck being the King's Champion in Crown of Midnight. Not exactly the dream job she was hoping for. This book really ramps up the intrigue, the magic starts getting real interesting, and Celaena has to make some seriously tough choices. Prepare for some jaw-dropping reveals and heart-wrenching betrayals. Oh, and more swooning, naturally.

Heir of Fire

Things get a whole lot bigger in Heir of Fire. Celaena is sent across the sea to train with a Fae warrior, and let's just say it's not exactly a picnic. She has to face her past, come to terms with her identity, and basically become a total badass. This book is where the world-building really explodes, and you get a taste of the massive, intricate story that Sarah J. Maas is crafting. Plus, you meet some new characters that you'll instantly fall in love with (hello, Rowan!).

Queen of Shadows

Hold on to your hats, because Queen of Shadows is a wild ride. Celaena returns to Adarlan, ready to reclaim her throne and kick some serious royal butt. This book is packed with action, romance, and enough plot twists to make your head spin. Major battles, surprising alliances, and characters facing their deepest fears – it's all happening here. Be prepared to stay up way past your bedtime to finish this one.

Empire of Storms

Just when you thought things couldn't get any crazier, Empire of Storms arrives. War is on the horizon, alliances are tested, and the stakes are higher than ever. This book takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions, and just when you think you know what's going to happen, Maas throws you another curveball. Stock up on tissues, because you're going to need them.

Tower of Dawn

Okay, so this one is a bit different. Tower of Dawn focuses on Chaol Westfall, who is recovering from injuries sustained in Queen of Shadows. Some people skip this one, but we highly recommend reading it! It gives you a different perspective on the world, introduces some fantastic new characters, and sets the stage for the epic conclusion. Plus, it's a chance to breathe and process everything that's happened before diving into the final book.

Kingdom of Ash

Get ready for the grand finale! Kingdom of Ash is the culmination of everything you've been reading, and it's an emotional, action-packed, and unforgettable experience. All the characters you've come to love (and hate) converge for one final battle, and the fate of the world hangs in the balance. Prepare to laugh, cry, scream, and cheer – sometimes all at the same time. And when it's all over? Well, you'll probably want to start reading the series all over again. Don't say we didn't warn you.

So, there you have it! Your crash course in the Throne of Glass series. Now go forth and get lost in this magical world. You won't regret it!
