Crown Of Midnight is the second book in the Throne Of
Glass series.
Crowned by evil.
Bound by duty.
Divided by love.
Before she was deadly, now she is unstoppable.
Eighteen year old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and
beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever
known. Though she won the King's contest and became his champion, Celaena has
been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart. The
slavery of the suffocating salt mines of Endovier that scarred her past is
nothing compared to a life bound to her darkest enemy, a king whose rule is so
evil it is near impossible to defy.
Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her heart to
pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates, or risk sentencing those she
loves to death. Celaena must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or
the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all . . . And
trying to may just destroy her.
I
thoroughly enjoyed reading Crown Of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, which I received
an ARC of for review from Bloomsbury! Crown Of Midnight picked up where Throne
Of Glass left off. Initially it was a bit slow, but that could have been
because Adarlan and it's court were featured more in this book than in the
previous one.
My favourite character was Celaena, however I also liked
reading about Nehemia. Celaena was my favourite character, not only because of
her independence and cunning, but also because of her kind and caring side -
which is shown more when she is with her dog Fleetfoot. I liked reading about
Nehemia, the princess of Eyllwe, as although she is in a similar situation to
Celaena, she approaches it in a different way. Nehemia also befriends Celaena,
and through this friendship the reader learns more about both Celaena and
Nehemia, whilst learning more of what the kingdom of Adarlan used to be like.
The reader also learns more about magic and Wyrdmarks in Crown Of Midnight.
I wasn't as keen on the cover of Crown Of Midnight, as
even though it depicted Celaena, it didn't specifically fit with any particular
scene within the story itself.
Overall, I would definitely recommend reading Crown Of
Midnight by Sarah J. Maas! It's full of unexpected twists and turns!
