Throne of Glass: Sarah J. Maas: 1

Product Information

Amazing book! Love the series in general! I'm up to book 5, and btw, I'm not a parent, I am thirteen years old and am just doing that to get it free. also, if you're under 13 years old, would not recomend because of all the violence and sex. it's very good though, don't get me wrong. so if you're 13+, please read! The series is great in the first book and the prequel, I didn't particularly enjoy the second book, but in the third book, heir of fire, the plot just changes entirely. From badass assassin fighting for her freedom to faerie queen fighting against evil. I didn't really mind the switch cuz I'm into that stuff but I know a lot of people hated that the dynamic changed so much, so beware of that. This is where it reeeally depends on maturity, I read this as a mature 12 year old. Was I ready for this if I was 11.... most likely not. If as a parent you aren’t ready to answer questions on why the characters took their clothes off, or as a kid you want to keep your innocence a bit longer, I wouldn’t read. But it’s really an amazing book SJM is an amazing writer. It’s up to you to decide though. I do find that at a certain age yes they should be shielded from these things but as they grow older you need to give your kid more leeway because they will eventually grow up. It is fine for 6th graders, maybe 5th grade at the youngest. Did you know you can flag iffy content? Adjust limits for Drinking, Drugs & Smoking in your kid's entertainment guide. Get started Close

Well, I mean, it's young adult, so the age group it's targeted at is 12-18. I've read it, and it's a good book (I'm in eighth grade); I have friends in seventh grade and they think it's a good book. So I'd say 12+ but I guess it really depends on the individual reader because I know that I have other friends who are really sensitive to this kind of stuff. 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. If you like the kinds of books that I described, then I think you’ll like this series as much as I did. What are these books about? I would say that it really depends on the person who is reading. If they are a sheltered child or younger than eight or nine then they shouldn't read this.In a book where the main character is a career assassin, everyone is morally complex and often conflicted. Celaena's plans to bolt at the first opportunity are complicated by growing bonds of friendship, respect, and hope for a better world. Dorian, the teen prince who loves books and doesn't want to be like his father, is a notorious ladies' man but also devoted to Celaena; his lifelong BFF Chaon, the brave captain of the guard, is also in love with her and protects her from assorted dangers. Mysterious Princess Nehemia, visiting from a conquered kingdom, befriends Celaena and reveals unexpected depths. A long-dead Fae queen takes a hand in opposing dark forces -- like the king. Frankly, I am glad that I didn’t discover the Throne of Glass series until it was over, because I would have been so impatient waiting for the next books in the series to be released!!! The first few books aren't nearly as graphic as the last few books if I recall. I read this later in life, but throughout the entirety it felt very young adult and less mature than some of the content I prefer. I think book five is where the sex scenes become more detailed, but in remembering my own experiences I was definitely reading adult material by the time I was a freshman in High School. 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. My mom said that these books are downright. 'pornographic'. They ARE NOT! (they do have a few cringe love scenes but not very descriptive) Its not like parents can hide this from kids anyway. They always find a way. SO what are they gonna do, Protect us forever.

Sarah J. Maas’s Life Sounds Like Pure Chaos — in a Good Way!

There isn't sex, swearing or inappropriate content if that's what you're concerned about. There is some mentioning about periods and there is some violence (although it isn't that descriptive). Like Cinderella's love story and the action and competition of The Hunger Games ... then this is the spectacular book for you! This book is going to be HUGE Dark Readers Also, if the child has started reading this and they really like it and you've only just now heard bad stuff about the books let them keep reading because they will likely want to kill you if you take it from them. Some readers might be disappointed that romance isn’t a more integral part of the books. There are some really great romance adventure novels out there, but I guess that’s what I like about a lot of the fantasy novels in the YA genre. The romance is there, but it isn’t more important than the adventure and challenges (I’m thinking of the Renegade series by Marissa Meyer, the Eona/Eon books by Alison Goodman, Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard and others). Magic fuses every word of this book together, and I found myself loving all the characters as I got to know them. This is a beautiful read A fan on GoodreadsHaving waited for a long time to see on Sarah's blog that this would be published, I almost started crying when I found out it would be - the only reason I didn't was that I had gone quite numb from excitement A fan on Goodreads It really depends. I would say most likely if the person is able to handle things like swearing, lots of violence, etc. It is considered a YA book, but is really ok for 12 years compared to certain video games and movies. It's not simply good, it's gorgeous and epic, and beautiful, and everything a book should be. Can't wait to get my hands on the polished version A fan on Goodreads Sarah J. Maas is a New York native who currently lives in the California desert. This is her first full-length novel to be published, though she already has a large online fan base, many of whom discovered the Throne of Glass world in its first incarnation, on www.fictionpress.com, when Sarah was just sixteen.
