Throne of Glass Box Set: Sarah J. Maas

Product Information

The author ultimately designed Celaena as a highly capable character whose talents also form a basis for numerous faults. In interviews preceding the series' release, Maas noted her heroine's issues with "impatience" and "vanity". [27] She also suggested that Celaena would grow while adjusting to her new role. [26] In addition to Celaena's skills as an assassin, Maas wanted the character to have several traits and hobbies befitting her age, [29] including a fondness for "shopping, books, and fine dining", as well as a "penchant for getting into trouble."
