54 free Throne of Glass trivia questions with answers. This Throne of Glass quiz is for readers who followed Celaena Sardothien out of the salt mines of Endovier and all the way to the throne of Terrasen. Fifty-four questions cover the whole series, from The Assassin's Blade novellas through Kingdom of Ash: the King's Champion competition, Chaol and Dorian, Nehemia, Fleetfoot, Rowan and the cadre, Manon Blackbeak and her wyvern Abraxos, Lysandra, Elide and Lorcan, Maeve and Erawan, the three Wyrdkeys, and the geography of Erilea from Rifthold to Doranelle. It also covers the books as objects: the FictionPress draft called Queen of Glass that Maas started at sixteen, the Cinderella premise, the Bloomsbury deal, the prequel e-novellas, the tandem-read debate over Empire of Storms and Tower of Dawn, the Hulu adaptation that never happened, and the crossover cameo that ties this world to A Court of Thorns and Roses and Crescent City. The early questions are ones any fan will get; the late ones are for people who have reread the series more than once. Every answer was checked against Wikipedia and the Throne of Glass Wiki, and each question carries its source. Major endgame twists are kept light.
