Our view
The third Throne of Glass novel is a dark one: much of it dwells on killing and on painful memories, which some readers find hard to get through. The same material gives the book its hold: it can be upsetting and difficult to set aside at once. At close to six hundred pages and well into a seven-book story, it is for those already following the series and ready for a heavier, more sorrowful instalment.
