Throne of Glass

I slammed through this series like it was nothing. It starts written for a younger audience but quickly grows up :)

An EXCELLENT series. The first two books feel a little younger than the rest- the real story starts in Heir of Fire, book three ;)
Throne of Glass (Throne of Glass Series #1)|Paperback

I couldn't put this one down!
Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass Series #2)

Read this third. Yea, the stories are prequels. No, you should NOT read it first. SJM suggests third. I read it fourth on accident and that was good too. Reading it first is like watching the star wars prequels first- you lose the emotional impact!!
The Assassin's Blade: The Throne of Glass Novellas
