Our view
The second Throne of Glass book is driven by revelations: there is a great deal of new information and a run of twists. Some readers find a few stretches slow, though never for long, and the emotional blows land hard, the ending most of all. It depends on the first volume and is best for readers who want a young-adult fantasy of assassins, royal intrigue and magic that is willing to hurt its characters.

About the book
