Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy.

While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?
  




Could this series get any better? I mean the first book was good, the second book was AMAZING and this book was just AWESOME! 

I loved every aspect of this book! All the different sub plots and story lines were just amazing to read about. I would write more about this amazing book but I have a video all about it! Be sure to watch it!

From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul 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 just read & reviewed Throne of Glass last week and I really enjoyed the book. I gave it a 4/5 because it did take me a little bit to get into the story.
Crown of Midnight is a completely different story. I was immediately drawn into the plot and it was just amazing!
 
This sequel follows Calaena as she is the king's assassin and she is trying to unravel this huge mystery involving magic & more! I love the whole magical element to this book! I will admit I get confused alot & have to re read a page or two to understand all the Wrydmarks and history but it is so worth it! 

The love in this book was just amazing. I finally got what I wanted only for it to be ripped away 50 pages later. Why you got to do a girl like that Sarah J. Maas? I don't want to spoil you on what the love is but let's just say I devoured each and every bit of it & NEEDED MORE!

I will defiantly say if you finished Throne of Glass & was a little weary of it pick up Crown of Midnight. I fully believe the sequel was much better than the first one! More action, more romance, more intrigue...just more everything!

This book will def. break your heart more than once so just be prepared for that! The ending will leave you speechless and I can say is...
Thank goodness I waited this long to read the 2nd book because the 3rd one was just released this week! I could not wait a whole year with that ending!!!

A MUST READ!

  After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin. Her opponents are men-thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the king's council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she'll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.

Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she's bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it's the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.

Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another.

Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.

 


 I finally read this book! It had been sitting on my shelf for a long time & I finally got around to reading it and I am so glad I did!

This book was just AWESOME! I loved the main character, Celaena & her wit and just overall strength! In fact all the characters were amazing. I loved reading Captain Westfall and Dorian and of course there is a love triangle already forming!

What side of the triangle do I fall on? I must admit I am a Captain Westfall girl but I do enjoy Dorian as well but ultimately I like Captain Westfall a little bit more! 

The action in this book was amazing as well as the mystery! I thought it was going one way but it went in the complete opposite direction which I loved.

I am so glad to have read this because it is in the fantasy genre, which I need to read more of. Lately I've been in a contemporary binge and wanted to get out of it and this book did the trick!

I did knock off a star because it took a little bit for me to get into to but once I got into it, I fell in love with it! 

If your looking for an awesome fantasy series look no further! This one had it all! Action, awesome characters and some romance! 

I can't wait to read the rest of the series!
