My favorite Assassin
I love the world Sarah creates! Fae, witches, demons, a prince, assassins, and magic! Throne of Glass is the start to this amazing series and it takes a little to get into it because there is so much you need to know about her past and all the characters and the world. The series gets better with each book you read.

This book was AMAZING! [Ken Williams] tells the inside story of working with the homeless in the backyard of the rich and famous. In [Fractured Angel] he draws on his own experiences to create a fictionalized account of a social worker, a mother, and a fifteen year old runaway all trying to cope with their demons. [Williams] has a way with storytelling and the empathy he shows for all his characters shows through in his words.

How could I not pick up a book about a group of people who call themselves the Alechemists and make the perfect cocktails to give themselves powers to fight off demons? This is a dream novel for everyone who always picks to play as the mage character. (Like yours truly) Also I would like to take the time to appreciate the fact that coffee baristas act as healers in this story. Thank you Mr. Paul Krueger and cheers.
  
Not the first time I've encountered this take ("demons" are just powerful beings in charge of a particular reality who have been labeled "evil" by beings from a competing reality whose PR has fared better in modern times) but I can't remember the last time it was pushed quite this heavily. I would probably advise most Christians, particularly Baptists, to give this one a pass.

Don't worry, you aren't exactly missing any deathless prose or original plotting, anyway.

I really enjoyed the love story in this book but more importantly the messege about depression an mental health. The author dealt with these issues in a very thoughtful and caring manner. The love story shows how important having someone to confide in and care is to someone dealing with the demons in their own head. I would definately recommend this book. I think, besides being and enjoyable read, that it may be able to help some people.

I struggled with this book until I got about half way through and then it got a bit more exciting.

As mentioned in my previous updates, reading about anything religious isn't really my cup of tea and it was only the action scenes when Nina, Finn and co were exorcising the demons that I was pulled in. But even that wasn't enough to pull me in completely.

I dont think I'll be reading the next book in the series.
