Rereading TOG might actually be more enjoyable than the first time through. Knowing the characters better and being able to pick up on the foreshadowing of events to come has been really fun. The second book has such a great ending that really sets the series into motion!

5.0

Okay so I had been putting off the last couple chapters in the book due to a busy week/high anxiety over what I thought was gonna happen. My poor friend who has already read the series got over 30 texts of my long babbling thoughts guessing what was going to happen, and I’m proud to say I GUESSED IT. 😂 

It may have been all the subconscious stuff I’ve seen on bookstagram over the years, but I’m typically really good at avoiding spoilers so I’ll spare you any spoilers here. 

Anyway- read this book. This series is great. 🙌🏼 Celaena is still a badass. 💪🏼🗡️ Chaol is everything. 😍🥰 Dorian is also precious.🥹

I didn't find Crown of Midnight as compelling a read as Throne of Glass, but it was entertaining enough. I'll keep reading to see how the mysteries unfold.

This was a really solid middle book of a series, it progressed the plot in a way that was important to the series overall and had its own contained plot line as well as some interesting plot twists going along. My one complaint is that the romance plot has been getting a bit repetitive as the series goes on but everything else is great. I love the world and the main character.
