About this deal

I will say that all of those various side stories did a great job of building toward the final climactic scene in the final book ( Kingdom of Ash). I do feel like adults like to exaggerate the amount of graphicness in books like these because they don't want their kids to know about these things because they feel like they're too young to be exposed to these kinds of things. As I am writing this review, I realize now that I never read The Assassins’s Blade, which is a collection of stories set before the first Throne of Glass novel introduced us to Celaena and her story. I only remember a few series really resonating with me in Middle School around 7th and 8th grade and then I jumped from Harry Potter grade material into Game of Thrones and eventually Steven Erikson before I graduated.

This is coming from a FIFTH grader and I found it fine, but some parts were a bit gross, (BAD ROMANCE, BAD, BAD ROMANCE! Do I wish my daughter's never had to know or experience the most unpleasant side of of sexism and objectification? Dark passageways lead to an ancient tomb, and the spirit of a long-dead queen involves herself in the plot.Creative material like this serves to unify female experiences and acknowledge the existence of injustices that are undoubtedly already aware of, and provide an avenue for which to relate their building collective experiences in a way that is meaningful and important for women's voices to be heard finally. Surrounded by beauty and kindness in A COURT OF THORNS AND ROSES, Feyre soon begins to fall in love with Tamlin -- and to learn more about the terrible curse that hangs over him and his people.

Maas' complex tale of a teen assassin is awash in gore and dark deeds but also fraught with ethical dilemmas and the possibility of something better. The first two books are staged mostly in the kingdom of Adarlan, and then the remaining five books take us all over the “world” created by Maas as Celaena works to accept her destiny, and the part she has to play in the conflict. Faerie Alis is a faithful servant to Tamlin, as are his friends who willingly give their lives to help save their country. I get that the first books are fairly clean, as there are no explicit scenes, but there is swearing on almost every page. Along the way, there's a lot of sexual tension and release, with plenty of overheated description, such as: "His bite lightened, and his tongue caressed the place his teeth had been.Perfect for Game of Thrones fans, this high-octane, action-packed fantasy is pure entertainment, with plenty of amped-up romance, high drama and a daredevil heroine who will particularly appeal to teenage girls. Westfall wants Celaena to be the young Prince Dorian’s ‘champion’ in a deadly contest in which she must face the most gifted criminals and assassins in the land. I know this is certainly late to the discussion but I would like to say to anyone who bothers to read these replies all the way through, if you are a parent or are a child of the age of 12/13, it depends on maturity, if you have talked to your child or are familiar with the "Birds and the bees" and aren't too bothered with gore then this book is for you! I was so invested in the main character (Celaena) that I didn’t want to go and hear the stories about these other relevant and interesting characters.

Like movies some people let there kids watch sex, murder and more in year six and five it really just depends on what they want there kids being introduced to at a young age. Last, there are many types of people in Throne of Glass that 6th graders probably shouldn't be exposed to unless their parents deem it safe.

It is 2020 as I am writing this post, and I am a little embarrassed to admit that I only recently discovered Sarah Maas (or the whole YA genre which I have great love for). In a vaguely ancient-Celtic world (whose map, at the beginning of the book, strongly resembles the British Isles) where the faeries regularly war with one another, engage in back-stabbing intrigue, and massacre hapless victims of all species, humans struggle to survive on the tiny bit of territory the faeries have left them. Children are corrupted not by the content they consume so much as by the repeated actions of society that doesn't fail to reach their notice. The Prince enters her into a competition to become the King’s champion, and the book unfolds as Celaena works her way through the competition, learns more about herself, and faces down horror after horror that her world throws at her.
