"Thoroughly enjoyable with fun and unique characters! The ending was satisfying and simple, which is unlike most books I've read recently. Can't wait to read book two!"

"I’ve heard that this series is slow at the beginning but gets better after the first couple books. I am just going to hold on to that assumption moving forward because this book was slow. I liked the characters but didn’t love any of them. The romance was bland, the action was bland. The last 25% picked up enough to pique my interest and the hints and cliff hangers at the very end were interesting but this book was not super exciting. "

"Book 1 Throne of Glass- The start to an amazing series. If you read this you will be sucked into a world of magic, fae and romance. Our heroine starts off as an assassin but becomes so much more! "
Nicole Sinders
"It was a great start of the serie. It’s packed with action. The characters are lovable. A love triangle. Fun dialogue. The start was a bit slow since we don’t have a lot of context. But it was a good book overall. "

"One of the best books I’ve read in a long time "

"A decent first book, with a seemingly predictable love triangle in the offing. If I had not already bought the second and third books, I don’t know if I would have felt it necessary to continue. I am glad I did though in the long run. "

"I read the first book in this series for a book club, and I’ll be honest, I didn’t enjoy it very much. I thought the author relied way too heavily on telling and not showing. The main character felt underdeveloped and almost verged on a Mary Sue archetype, which was very unfortunate because I love powerful women in my books. However, this one just felt poorly written. The book also leans into some racist stereotypes regarding the WOC side characters that were uncomfortable to read to say the least. Overall, this book was not for me. Nothing against other readers if they got enjoyment out this series, but it is definitely not one I will be going back to. "

"After reading the prelude I was like weird hard to get into verses ACTOR but wow the depth and the badass characters are throwing me through a loop. Also I keep devouring these books in 1.5 days.
This is an interesting take on the Hunger Games meet fantasy. Sam had saw her and gave her the time to tell him in her own time. But with these two it understandable that they are in love with the mysterious beautiful new thing. The more they get to know her the more they want to know her.
The mystery lover in myself is like DUDE, this thing NEEDS TO BE SOLVED!
I might be hated for this but I think TOG series might be better than ACTORS. if I could read everything again I think I should have read TOG first and ACTOR second.
I am enjoying this series so far!"
