Good

The Throne of Glass series is one that will immediately become one of your favorites. It is a series that everyone recommends. After reading Throne of Glass you will want to read all the other books by Sarah J. Maas because of the creativity, magic, danger, and emotion that she puts into the books.

This seemed like a pretty straightforward thriller, but surprisingly the killer wasn't who I thought it would be. The pseudo-romance in the story was awkward for me. I guess it was because the guy was so over the top about being with her and having her stay. I would have preferred a more dominant male character. The townspeople were all a little quirky in their own ways too. I didn't notice the constant references to the amount of times a "beer" was brought up in the text until it was brought to my attention. At that point it became laughable.

This was one of those books that I could not seem to put down. I don't know if it was the ties to the childhood story of La Llorona or what, but the story was so intricately woven in and out of generations of women in the same bloodline suffering this curse. It was painful to hear these different women's stories of not feeling good enough or not wanting to be a mother or really not feeling like they had any choice in their lives. Watching them suffer with how to best stop their pain for them and their daughters. Bringing in the story line of the Curandera and how she helped them to reach into the power of their familial roots for strength and knowledge was simply beautiful!

The way this book was constructed with the stories of several teens, so I can see how the voices seemed very different. However I still feel like the author could have made them more cohesive (even on their own) to really help us to feel the pain behind each of their accounts. I wish that I had enjoyed this one more, I always wonder about the stories behind those fleeing and seeking asylum.

Good book.

So I saw that they made a TV Series based on this book, I have not watched it yet, I wanted to read it first. This book spoke to me in ways that reached me deeply. You have to ask yourself, "I've helped raise this child that is not mine, what am I willing to give up in life to keep her safe?" The twists and turns in this book kept me engaged. The snarky teenage angst came through flawlessly. I can't wait to see if the series holds a flame to the book version.

Nice book
