My Thoughts on Crown of Midnight

Author: Sarah J. Maas

Series: Throne of Glass #2

Pages: 418

From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.

Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.

Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie... and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

I loved it. It is safe to say, I freaking loved it. The first book I didn't love so much. But this book. I loved it.

It was action-packed I have said this in every single review; I LOVE ACTION. IT FUELS MY SOUL. EVERY SINGLE FLIPPING BOOK IN THE ENTIRE WORLD NEEDS ACTION. If you haven't heard me say these things, what are you doing? Go read all my reviews!(casual self promotion...) Anyhow, lets get back on track. Crown Of Midnight was stuffed with a thousand tons of beautiful, juicy, action. What more could you ask for in life? This of course means...

I couldn't put it down Twas the night before Christmas and all through the house, everyone was sleeping, quiet like mice. But then in the darkness a sound was heard! A page being flipped once, twice. Young Maya was awake and devouring her book. This is the truth. The book was so good! I had to know everything! I needed to know what was happening at all times, it was impossible to stop reading.

My OTPPPPPPPPP was ugh, so beautiful so's as you know, the first book contained a love triangle. Yikes! Well I chose the man that was meant to be with her, and I shipped them with all the power in me. It happend. It also made me cry. Because other stuff happend. Stuff that wasn't good. Which reminds me the feels were so freaking powerful it made me cry!!! I am not exaggerating, usually when I cry in a book its because it is freaking amazing. All the books I cry in get 4 or 5 stars. which therefore means the book is super duper ultra amazing, because tears are also amazing...? Also can I point out the plot twists... damn.

Also my other favorite thing in this world other than action, Character depth. It was there, and it was glorious. In the first book we were introduced to each of the characters and given a backstory for each of them. The second book expanded on those glorious stories, taking them to whole new levels. I learned things about ALL the characters, that I hadn't known before, which lead me to a greater connection and understanding of them

The end? I gotta say it wasn't bad! I didn't like the ending, not because it was horrible or anything, it was just... I wish my OTP ran off into the sunset together... but they didn't :( *wails* The ending, although not what I wanted, is considered a good ending in the writing world. It allows a great transition into the next book, and definitely leaves me begging for more!

Final Rating:

December Wrap Up

I desperately wanted to do a yearly wrap up, but then I realized I did not count how many books I read, and I also remember like none of them. They always get jumbled up in my tiny brain and I can't remember whether I read them 4 years ago, or 4 months ago. However something my brain is capable of comprehending, is the books I read this month, and the books I got this month, so here they are...

This series is, well, THE BEST SERIES IN THE ENITRE FLIPPING UNIVERSE AND I AM SO, SO SAD IT IS OVER, also everyone should read it. E-V-E-R-Y-O-N-E. Clearly I cannot put my love for this book into words, and am just flailing about like an idiot. If you would like to see my thoughts on the other two books, click here and here.

Wow this book was so much better than I expected! I was SO happy with it! Wanna know more? Click this!(don't question me, just click it)

I enjoyed this. Very much. Buuuutttt... It was slow *sobs* I need the fast pace, action packed, super crazy scenes everywhere. But they weren't. I loved this book, with a fiery passion, but one thing I crave is more action. This is my full review ------> here.

Who is my favorite author? JENNIFER L. ARMENTROUT!!!! Her books are my life *breathes heavily* I love them. This book is by her, I love it. #1 its about greek gods, umm yes please!!! #2 I love the characters personalities. #3 love interest *grins*. #4 The writing is to die for! What's not to love???

Alright, alright, so I'm not technically finished yet. However I will be when January 1 comes around! Since I am posting this a teeny bit early, I thought I should include this. I am loving it! Sarah J. Maas has such beautiful writing! Lately I have been reading so many books written in first person, the change is SO nice and refreshing! Not to mention the love triangle, it's killing me. I ship her with Chaol so much. If she chooses Dorian. Somebody will die. Also ACTION, ACTION, ACTION! Like ummm yes please!

I am super excited to read all of these! I can't wait to read the 3 sequels I got because I am DYING to find out what happens next, in these fabulastastic(new word????) series! Also since I adore Percy Jackson(my one true love) I HAD to ask for Rick Riordan's new book! Can I just say, I have read one page, and it's hilarious. I recommend it to everyone, even though I have no clue what it is actually like.
