An underrated fast-paced plot-twisting continuation of the series, and one of my favorite among them!

Another solid re-read. In Crown of Midnight, Sarah J Maas focused a little more on romance but also didn't pull any punches when it came to the rebellion, politics, and the air of mystery surrounding the plot in general. 

*SPOILERS AHEAD*

As much as I love this book and understand the reasoning behind it, I will never, never, EVER forgive Sarah for what she did to Nehemia. I know why it had to happen, but that doesn't make it hurt any less. 

Overall, I think I enjoyed Crown of Midnight just as much this time as I did the first time, even though I was dreading rereading the events of that cursed night.

Hoooo boy, if ToG was the warm up, Crown of Midnight is where things break out to a full sprint. The central conflict is revealed, the story takes a turn. Relationships are built and broken.

Shit went DOWN. So much lovingly crafted character building, story revelations. I love how this book is paced. Once I got about halfway through, I couldn't put it down anymore. I cannot wait to see how this continues in Heir of Fire.
