I'm trying to not only read more in 2023 but read books from genres I wouldn't normally venture into. When the Story Darlings podcast announced their readalong of this series to coincide with #FaRoFeb, I decided I'd follow along.

Much to my surprise, I'm really enjoying this one so far. The characters are interesting, the setting is captivating, and while I had my concerns about the romance part of this fantasy romance tale, it hasn't been heavy-handed at all. More than I'm used to for sure, but nothing that has taken away from the story or made me want to put the book down.

Throne of Glass has been a pleasant surprise thus far, and I'm looking forward to the second half.
