The 'Throne of Glass' series is complete, and what a journey it was! Seven main books, plus a prequel, take you through Celaena/Aelin’s transformation from a deadly assassin to a queen fighting for her kingdom. The last book, 'Kingdom of Ash,' is a massive 900-page finale that’s worth every second. Sarah J. Maas doesn’t shy away from emotional punches, so keep tissues handy.
I loved how side characters like Lysandra and Rowan got their moments to shine, and the romances are *chef’s kiss.* The series is perfect for fans of fantasy with strong female leads and intricate plots. If you’re into audiobooks, the narration is fantastic too!
I can confidently say that yes, the series is complete! The journey of Celaena Sardothien—later revealed as Aelin Galathynius—wrapped up beautifully with the seventh book, 'Kingdom of Ash,' in 2018. Sarah J. Maas crafted an epic finale that tied up loose ends while leaving room for readers to imagine the future of Terrasen.
The series evolved from a darker, assassin-focused narrative into a sweeping high-fantasy saga with intricate world-building, political intrigue, and unforgettable character arcs. If you’re new to the series, I envy you—you’re in for a wild ride! The books are best read in order: 'Throne of Glass,' 'Crown of Midnight,' 'Heir of Fire,' 'Queen of Shadows,' 'Empire of Storms,' 'Tower of Dawn,' and finally 'Kingdom of Ash.' There’s also a prequel, 'The Assassin’s Blade,' which adds depth to Celaena’s backstory. The fandom is still thriving, with fan art, theories, and discussions everywhere, especially on platforms like Tumblr and TikTok.
Yes, the 'Throne of Glass' series is complete with seven books and a prequel. 'Kingdom of Ash' wraps up the story in an epic way, with battles, sacrifices, and hard-won victories. Sarah J. Maas’s writing keeps you glued to the page, especially in the later books where the stakes get sky-high. If you love fantasy with fierce heroines and complex villains, this series is a must-read. The fandom is still going strong, so join the fun!
I binge-read the entire 'Throne of Glass' series last year, and it’s absolutely finished! The final book, 'Kingdom of Ash,' delivers a satisfying conclusion to Aelin’s story, with plenty of action, heartbreak, and triumphant moments. What I love about this series is how Sarah J. Maas balances character growth with plot twists—you’ll cry, cheer, and maybe throw the book across the room (in a good way). The side characters like Manon and Dorian get incredible arcs too.
If you’re worried about starting a long series, don’t be. The pacing keeps you hooked, and the later books expand the world in ways you won’t expect. The series also has a prequel, 'The Assassin’s Blade,' which I’d recommend reading after 'Heir of Fire' for maximum emotional impact. The fandom is super active on Reddit and Instagram, so you’ll have plenty of people to gush with once you finish!

The Moon Goddess may have written the rules, but these she-wolves are tearing them apart.
In this sweeping five-book saga, the Lycanthrope species—creatures of power beyond mortal imagination—dare to defy destiny itself. Mate bonds ignite passion and peril, but every she-wolf knows love can be a weapon as much as a gift. Tradition demands obedience. They choose rebellion.
It begins with Ana, a Hybrid caught between worlds, whose collision with Romani, the ruthless Lycan Crown Prince, sparks a bond that could either save her—or destroy her. His dominance threatens to consume her, yet Ana refuses to bow. Every choice she makes twists the Goddess’s plan tighter, until fate itself trembles.
From Ana’s defiance to the cunning of wolves who wield mate bonds like blades, each book unveils a battle where freedom clashes with love, rebellion with tradition, and power with vulnerability. The Goddess watches. The wolves fight back. And destiny will bleed before it breaks.
This is not a tale of wolves who obey.

As a longtime fan of Sarah J. Maas's work, I can confidently say the 'Throne of Glass' series is a sprawling epic that spans eight books. The series starts with 'Throne of Glass' and concludes with 'Kingdom of Ash,' with several novellas and companion stories adding depth to the world. The main series includes 'Crown of Midnight,' 'Heir of Fire,' 'Queen of Shadows,' 'Empire of Storms,' 'Tower of Dawn,' and the finale. The novella collection 'The Assassin's Blade' is often recommended as a prequel, though it’s not strictly part of the eight-book core series.
What makes this series special is how it evolves from a tight assassin’s tale into a high-stakes fantasy war. The character arcs, especially Celaena Sardothien’s transformation, are legendary in the YA fantasy community. If you’re diving in, brace yourself for political intrigue, heart-wrenching betrayals, and a romance that’ll leave you breathless. The series is a masterclass in long-form storytelling, with each book building toward an explosive finale.
I just finished 'Throne of Glass' and immediately dove into the sequel, 'Crown of Midnight'. The transition is seamless, with Celaena Sardothien's journey becoming even more intense. 'Crown of Midnight' ramps up the stakes, blending political intrigue with dark magic. The character development is phenomenal, especially as Celaena's past starts unraveling. The action scenes are breathtaking, and the emotional depth had me glued to the pages. If you loved the first book, this one will blow you away. The series only gets better from here, with 'Heir of Fire' expanding the world and introducing new, unforgettable characters like Rowan Whitethorn.
I recently finished the 'Throne of Glass' series and was completely hooked! After the first book, the next one is 'Crown of Midnight'. It picks up right where the first left off, with Celaena Sardothien dealing with the consequences of her choices. The plot thickens with more intrigue, darker secrets, and even higher stakes. The character development is fantastic, especially seeing Celaena grow into her role. The romance, action, and political schemes all escalate, making it impossible to put down. If you loved the first book, this sequel will not disappoint. The series just keeps getting better from here, with 'Heir of Fire' coming next!
