I found the first half of the book to be a bit slow (honestly a very common theme to SJM's books) but I enjoy the characters enough that I couldn't put it down, and then like many of her other works everything quickly started to devolve. Looking forward to the next!

I am continuing my journey to read the Throne of Glass series this year.
"Crown of Midnight" picks up right at the end of "Throne of Glass". Celaena has become the king's champion, but she is hardly loyal to him. She can see that he is evil, and she wants to bring him down. She quickly learns that she is not the only one who is unhappy with the king, but she struggles to uncover which alliances are true.
This sequel is violent and really veers more towards action than romance, which I think will appeal to more people. Celaena is a deeply flawed character, and I love that! She makes mistakes and takes risks to fight for what she believes in. She is admirable, strong, and the perfect person to take on the king.
This was hardly my favorite Sarah J. Maas story, but I am definitely excited to continue and see where this series is going.

4.0

What a surprise. I  enjoyed this. And was really moved by the brief twist. Poignant sadness. The romance midway was charming. It left me wanting more and to chase the next book in this series.
