Overall, I felt that Throne of Glass was a great book, full of interesting twists and a particularly good cliffhanger at the end to entice me into wanting to read the next book. A small image of the symbol would have made this a lot easier to understand. Some of the descriptions, such as those of the ancient symbol, required repeated re-reading and still the image wasn’t clear. The book would be strengthened by better use of visuals. This helped the reader engage more deeply with the characters and created a better understanding of the bonds between characters and the way each character is feeling about each other during these moments. One minute I was reading about Celaena’s perspective of a fight she’s in, and then the next paragraph would swap to Dorian’s view of the fight.
