I'm on a mission to help you find your new favourite books.

This is a spoiler free introduction to Throne of Glass, one of the most successful young adult fantasies of all time. This is a gateway fantasy series, ideal for new readers who haven't read much fantasy and want to try out the genre.

I discuss the importance of gateway fantasy novels and the crucial role they play in brining new readers to the genre. Let's deep dive into romance, erotic writing, and a whole lot of sexy Fae characters!
