Review: Throne of Glass

Throne of Glass Throne of Glass by Sarah J. Maas
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

A few quotes that I loved:

"We all bear scars, Dorian. Mine just happened to be more visible than most."

"He loved her, and no empire, no king, and no earthly fear would keep him from her. No, if they tried to take her from him, he'd rip the world apart with his bare hands. And for some reason, that didn't terrify him."

*I'm not even sure if these are consider spoilers so i'm not marking it to hide it, just be warned. I'm stating some obvious things that you could've guessed by reading the back and what not"

Can I just say; Wow

This book literally tore my heart out and threw it out the window near the end. The last time a book made me feel this way was when I read Clockwork Princess by Cassandra Clare.

You meet this deadly assassin who is imprisoned in this camp, where most prisoners die after a few months but she lasted a whole year. This girl, who's just 17, killed more people than an army could together. Then you watch her grow stronger and you watch her open up just slightly to a Prince and the Captain of the Guard and even slightly to a Princess. You watch her fight for her freedom against men that looked stronger than her.
You also meet a Prince, who like most 19 year old Prince's think he can get with any girl until he meets this one. Not even knowing that he would fall for an assassin, out of all the women he could have, he falls for her. He makes it quite clear also.
Then you meet one of his closest friends, the Captain of the Guard, who is only 22 formly an heir to Adalan until he decided to become the Captain. He has this dark/cold feeling about him when you first meet him. I the beginning you could tell that he was ify about bringing the assassin home but he tends to warm up, a lot.

I'm hardcore in love with Chaol, sorry Dorian

Overall it was an amazing book and I'm so glad I got to read it. Time for the second one!

Reading Goals for 2018

Hey everyone! ( γεια σε όλους ! [gotta practice that Greek])  I haven't written about books in awhile mainly about how i'm going to Greece in the spring. Last year I read 44 books out of my goal of 40, which is surprising because I took about 2 months of not reading anything due to the end of the semester and working. In September when I started driving back and forth to college again, instead of listening to music, I decided to listen to books. Audible really helped me get out of my book lump and I've read 10 books in 3 months and two weeks of driving back and forth. I would also listen to the books during the weekend when I was cleaning my room or if I had to drive somewhere. On Goodreads, I wanted to clean up my selves a bit, so I created a new shelf "own not read" and I marked all the books I currently own( e-books and physical) instead of marking them as "to read". I currently have 239 physical books, minus a few textbooks from college, most...

What I'm Doing in Greece 7-9

Day 07: 26 May PYLOS Half day Sfaktiria Island Boat Trip. Archaeological Museum This morning we rise early and transfer to the wharf and at 08h00 board our private chartered boat (exclusive to our group) for our half day boat tour to Sfaktiria Island. Between 1821 and 1832 CE, the Greeks fought a war of independence against the occupying Ottoman Turks. On 20 th October, 1827 CE a naval battle was fought in the bay at Pylos. The Battle of Navarino was fought by the Greeks and their allies; Britain, France and Russia, against the Ottoman Turks. This was a decisive defeat for the Ottoman and Egyptian forces, and a pivotal victory for the Greeks, who’s success at Navarino led to eventual Greek independence. The Battle of Navarino was the last major naval battle in history to be fought entirely with sailing ships, although most ships fought whilst at anchor. The Allies' victory was achieved through superior firepower and gunnery. The involvement of the English and French was pr...
