The First and Last sentences from all the Throne Of Glass Books:
Now that the Throne Of Glass series has come to an end, here are all the first and last sentences from all the books. (not included the assassins blade and only the main part of the books, so not any prologue chapters or POV end/beginning ‘chapters’ like Fireheart at the end of ToD or Nightfall at the beginning of EoS)
If you reblog please remember to tag spoilers for the people still reading 😌
Tumblr media
Throne Of Glass:
“After a year of slavery in the Salt Mines of Endovier, Celaena Sardothien was accustomed to being escorted everywhere in shackles and at sword-point.”
~~~~
“She looked at his golden-brown eyes and all of the promises that lay within them, and linked her arm with his as she smiled, ‘Tell me tomorrow.’”
Tumblr media
Crown Of Midnight:
“The shutters swinging in the storm winds were the only sign of her entry.”
~~~~
“Chaol sank to his knees.”
Tumblr media
Heir Of Fire:
“Gods, it was boiling in this useless excuse for a kingdom.”
~~~~
“She was Aelin Ashryver Galathynius—and she would not be afraid.”
Tumblr media
Queen Of Shadows:
“There was a thing waiting in the darkness.”
~~~~
“And at long last, Aelin Ashryver Galathynius was home.”
Tumblr media
Empire Of Storms:
“Elide Lochan’s breath scorched her throat with every gasping inhale as she limped up the steep forest hill.”
~~~~
“Unleashing a cry that set the world trembling, Prince Rowan Whitethorn Galathynius, Consort of the Queen of Terrasen, began the hunt to find his wife.”
Tumblr media
Tower Of Dawn:
“Chaol Westfall, former Captain of the Royal Guard and now Hand to the newly crowned King of Adarlan, had discovered that he hated one sound above all others.”
~~~~
“It is,” he said quietly to Yrene. “It is.”
Tumblr media
Kingdom Of Ash:
The snows had come early.
~~~~
For across every mountain, spread beneath the green canopy of Oakwald, carpeting the entire Plain of Theralis, the kingsflame was blooming.

some ACOSF quotes that are very important to me

no matter what, remember that your story is worth telling.
ps. this book meant a lot. i have never met a character who i relate so much to or has faced the same mental (and physical) challenges that i have. Nesta means so so so so much to me, and these quotes helped me heal some things inside myself that i hadn’t been able to face yet. i hope (like the dedication of this book) that every nesta out there climbs that mountain.
