Why Throne of Glass Is One of the
Best Fantasy Series Ever

The emotional damage, the found family, the character growth — a love letter to a series that completely stole my heart

“I genuinely don’t think I will ever recover from this series. Some books are entertaining. Some books become favourites. And then there are books that completely consume your life and leave a permanent mark on your soul. That’s exactly what Throne of Glass did to me.” 😭💛

If you’re a romance reader who loves fantasy, this is the series that will absolutely ruin you — in the best possible way. Here’s why Throne of Glass completely stole my heart and why I think every fantasy reader needs to experience it.

👑 Why This Series Is Unforgettable
💪
The Character Growth Is Insane
Unlike anything else in fantasy
Watching Celaena Sardothien become who she was always meant to be honestly felt magical to experience. The first book feels like the beginning of an adventure. But then every single book gets bigger, darker, more emotional and more addictive until suddenly you’re emotionally attached to an entire kingdom of fictional people ☁️
💪 Epic character arc👑 Powerful heroine
💜
The Found Family Will Break You
The friendships, the loyalty, the banter
This series has one of the BEST found families I’ve ever read. The friendships, the loyalty, the banter, the sacrifices. Every character felt important and layered and real. Even side characters somehow stole pieces of my heart 😭
💜 Found family💔 Emotional damage
🌍
The World-Building Is Massive
Ancient magic, kingdoms, witches, wyverns
Ancient magic. Kingdoms. Assassins. Witches. Wyverns. Hidden powers. Political chaos. Emotional trauma 😭 But somehow it never loses the emotional heart at the centre of the story. And don’t even get me started on the witches because I am STILL not over them.
🌍 Epic world✨ Complex magic
😭
The Emotional Damage Was Unreal
Sarah J. Maas at her most devastating
There were moments in this series where I genuinely had to put the book down and stare at the wall. Sarah J. Maas somehow makes you feel completely devastated, emotionally attached, hopeful, destroyed and obsessed… all within the same chapter. I laughed. I cried. I screamed. I lost sleep. And I would absolutely do it all again.
😭 Emotional🔥 Addictive💔 Devastating
