I finished the first book in the Throne of Glass series in July, and it instantly became one of my top reads ever! I bought Crown of Midnight as soon as possible, but didn't really have high hopes for it, and ended up procrastinating reading it. I finaly did, and honestly? It was better than the first one. The plot twists were amazing and blew my mind and the romance between Chaol and Celaena was perfect (while it lasted 😕). 
The writing is elite (I totally thought Chaol would run AWAY, not go through the portal!). 
10/10 recommend, I only removed 0.5 stars because I wanted Chaolaena to last (lmao)

Good character development. The ending was a cliffhanger but I still felt like the main premise of this portion of the plot was resolved. The book felt complete.

The different character POVs drove the story along in an interesting way, adding depth and complexity to the narrative.

I do wish there was more world building, but as the ending suggests, we’ll see more of that in the next book.

I appreciate the mix of platonic and love relationships. It gave the story more life and made the characters more real. It didn’t feel explicitly romance driven.
