Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas Review

“You remind me of how the world ought to be. What the world can be.”

Well Natalie and I finished book 2 of the Throne of Glass series and it again did not disappoint. It did start off rather slowly again but, once it picked it, it picked up.

It was really great to see Celaena get into Assassin Mode in this story. She is a real bad ass. The end had me dropping my jaw but also deep down, I knew what I knew, and I was right but it doesn’t change how shocked I was when I read it.

Sarah J Maas just has this way with words, and it creates all these feelings. We’re reading Assassin’s Blade next because there really is no good time to squeeze it in. Assassin’s Blade is 4 novellas in one book, and it gives some back story. Anxious to start for sure!

 

Synopsis (Credit: Goodreads)

 

Celaena Sardothien, royal assassin, is the King of Adarlan's deadliest weapon. She must win her freedom through his enemies' blood - but she cannot bear to kill for the crown. And every death Celaena fakes, every lie she tells, put those she loves at risk.

Torn between her two protectors - a captain and a prince - and battling a dark force far greater than the king, Celaena must decide what she will fight for: her liberty, her heart or the fate of a kingdom...
