Celaena is definitely one of those protagonists you dislike because of how prideful and stuck up she is. Is it sad that I was disappointed the best assassin doesn’t kill anyone in the book? Plus, she sparingly shows her skills even when she loves to brag about how good she is. Throne of Glass just didn’t hold up to the hype for me, or at least the first book did not. For the most part, the adult scenes are easy to skip and not central to the plot or understanding the story progression. I also respect your judgment to not start the series knowing how it will change in future books. Nothing is exchanged except a few heated kisses. There is a night that a guy sleeps in Celaena’s bed. There isn’t even a let’s “go to bed” and voila wake up in each other’s arms, but everyone knows what we were doing scene. One thing that pleasantly surprised me was no sex scenes. We don’t see her truly in her element until the next book, Crown of Midnight. Several times though, she thinks through how she would kill someone. None are attributed to the main character Celaena and self-proclaimed best assassin. There are many deaths in Throne of Glass. When the main character is an assassin and involved in a deadly competition against other killers, you can expect violence and killing to be in the book. Celaena on the UK Cover of Throne of Glass
