Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Title: Crown of Midnight
Author: Sarah J. Maas
Publisher: Bloomsbury
Rating: 📖📖📖📖/ 5
In the second installment of the Throne of Glass series, we follow Celaena Sardothien as she grows into her position as the King's Assassin. Celaena is given the task of eliminating people on the King's list of traitors however she does it on her own terms. As she fulfills her role, she realizes that her friendships are being questioned and strained as both the reader and the characters find out more about Celaena's hidden past and who she really is. Her biggest challenge comes in the form of Archer Finn a former friend and assassin who reveals that what Celaena knows may not be entirely true. Celaena also finds out that the King's power is stronger than anyone knows and that she may be the only one that can stop him.
FINALLY. I have had real reservations about this series as I was on the fence about Throne of Glass and was not really a fan of The Assassins Blade. Although Crown of Midnight started off slow, it definitely picked up half way through. I believe that Maas did a better job of developing the characters in the story. She showed that Celaena isn't a "perfect female heroine" and isn't invincible and that the Dorian is more than an airhead and Chaol isn't a robot. Perfect! It is incredibly hard to write reviews of these books because basically everything you can write about is part of a spoiler. Sigh. But let me tell you this, Crown of Midnight answers many questions from Throne of Glass and adds depth of a somewhat lacking plot up to this point. The only thing I'm a bit confused about is the title of the book. A crown is briefly touched upon in the book, but not enough to understand the title. Hopefully that will be cleared up. I highly recommend this book because it is a great improvement from its predecessors.
