I'm lucky enough to be taking part in the tour of the amazing Throne of Glass - I adore this book! See just how much in my review of the book: here! Anyway, today I have a very special playlist for the book and all the different scenes. How cool?! Anyway, enjoy all the music and the extract at the end! But before you do, the wonderful Bloomsbury are offering all UK and Ireland readers a chance to win a copy of Throne of Glass! And trust me, you really don't wanna miss this book!
Now, without further ado, enjoy the playlist!
“Won't Back Down”: Eminem : Recovery
(Deluxe Edition):
This
song actually inspired the scene when Celaena gives Verin a smack-down during
one of their tests.
“Thought I'd Never Call?”: James Newton
Howard : Blood Diamond (Original Motion
Picture Soundtrack):
Picture Soundtrack):
This
inspired the scene between Celaena and Nehemia when they learn about the Eyllwe
rebels’ massacre (and the scenes that follow with Celaena, Dorian, and Chaol).
“Valse - Intrada (Tempo Di Valse)”: Efrem Kurtz &
Philharmonia Orchestra : Tchaikovsky: Swan Lake:
Dorian
and Celaena’s waltz at the Yulemas ball.
“Balcony Scene - Romeo's
Variation - Love Dance”: Cleveland Orchestra
& Lorin Maazel: Prokofiev: Romeo & Juliet.:
I
listened to this again and again when writing about Dorian and Celaena’s first
kiss (and Chaol’s scene after the ball).
“Optimus Vs. Megatron” and “Scorponok”: Steve Jablonsky: Transformers:
The Score; “Royce Vs. Predator” :
John Debney: Predators (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack):
Listened
to these 3 tracks on repeat while writing the Celaena vs. the Ridderak scene.
“Night of Terror”: Clint Mansell: Black
Swan (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack):
Listened
to this A LOT while writing all the scenes from Kaltain’s POV.
“Farewell” : Danny Elfman:
Terminator Salvation (Original Soundtrack):
Inspired
the moment when Nehemia gives Celaena her staff. And when Celaena thanks Chaol
before her duel.
“Duelist”: Revolutionary Girl
Utena: (Soundtrack from the Motion Picture):
Totally
inspired Celaena’s duel with Grave.
“Shura!”: Revolutionary Girl Utena
(Soundtrack from the Motion Picture): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mc6iDIGVJyU
Celaena’s duel with Cain. (For the FP fans,
this was also the inspiration behind the original dueling sequence in the FP
version of the book)
“Boarding Up The House”: James Newton
Howard : Signs (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack):
This
piece inspired the moment during the duel with Cain when Chaol kneels down on
the other side of the white line and tells Celaena to get up. (mostly the stuff
that starts at the 1:15 and onward mark)
“Decepticons”: Steve Jablonsky:
Transformers: The Score:
Totally inspired the moment during the duel
when Cain says: “You were brought here—all of you were. All the players in the
unfinished game.”
“The Great Eatlon”: James Newton Howard
: Lady In the Water:
Wrote
the entire climax of the duel (no spoilers!) to this. :)
“World Collapsing”: Danny Cocke: From
The Blue:
The
King and Perrington’s final scene together (also thinks this sets the
tone/stage for Book 2 perfectly).
“I Wanted You to Know”: John Ottman :
Superman Returns (Music from the Motion Picture):
Celaena
and Chaol in her rooms after the duel (when the music swells, I think it’s
pretty obvious what part it’s referring to).
“Princess Leia's Theme”: John Williams: Star
Wars Episode IV: A New Hope (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack):
Celaena
and Dorian, when he tells her about her appointment as Champion.
“Dolphins & Ric”: J. Ralph: The Cove
(Original Motion Picture Score):
The
final scene with Celaena and Elena in the tomb.
“Can You See Jane?”: Patrick Doyle: Thor (Soundtrack from the

The
final scene in the book (with Celaena and Chaol), when she says “Tell me
tomorrow.”
