Similar to the first book in the Throne of Glass series, I was really intrigued in the beginning then the end kind of lost me. I don’t know if I’m still learning the universe and it’s making it harder to get into the harder concepts or what.

Good book loved the twist

Chaol learning about Celeana’s heritage

. I found Chaol to be the most interesting character in this book because of his

struggle to choose sides between his loyalty to the kingdom and Celeana

This book brought some long-lost inspiration & magic inside of me back to life. Such great imagery of a female assassin!! She really captured my imagination with the descriptions in this book, one of the only books I’ve read that I felt I could truly visualize. The plot was always moving & interesting. Honestly the only things keeping it from 5 stars are

the whole talking doorknob thing

and the

sort of weird twist with Archer that felt a bit manufactured

. Cannot wait to read the next one. I appreciate ACOTAR but damn this series has sooooo much more plot!

I'm still enjoying following Celaena's story, she's a fun character. She does make some choices in this book that I thought seemed about OOC from what I know about her, but maybe I just have the wrong idea of her?

I really liked this installment of the story because there was a little mystery the readers could try to solve. It was fun gathering all the little hints to see if I could discover what was going on. I got somethings right but was caught off guard with other things so it was a lot of fun!

I'm looking forward to the next read!

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.
