Our view

The sixth Throne of Glass book is a long quest story, 680 pages coming late in the series, and no place to begin. Some readers find it hard to get into, but say it improves in the middle and closes on a real surprise. Best for readers already committed to the series who are prepared to wait for the payoff.
