If you fell in love with Maas’ addictive writing and rich world-building, then why not explore her back-catalogue. First published in 2012, her debut novel Throne of Glass was the first book in an earlier best-selling high fantasy series of the same name. The story follows teenage assassin Celaena Sardothien who agrees to compete for a chance to serve as the King’s champion; if she succeeds Celaena will be free from the Endovier slave camp. But the Kingdom of Adarlan is not as it seems—and, as darkness grows within the castle walls, Celaena’s fight for her freedom is jeopardised and her survival is threatened.
