Crown of Midnight by Sarah J Maas

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, #2)

by Sarah J. Maas

The action-packed, heart-wrenching and fantastically addictive sequel to Sarah J. Maas's epic YA fantasy debut THRONE OF GLASS.

Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful - the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But 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. Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her 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.

Plot twist, plot twists everywhere I look. If I hadn't been intrigued by the Throne of Glass series before, I'd certainly be now.
We only began exploring the huge world SJM created and dive deeper into our favorite characters' pasts - and futures!
The character development game is going strong and once more I have to applaud Sarah J. Maas. She creates characters like no one else. Compared with Throne of Glass, she even took it up a notch for this novel.
I'm itching to find out more about those mysteries and dark powers lurking in every shadow. Although I'm not sure I can't take many more of those chapters as they always make me hold my breath!
The biggest twist came almost at the end of the book. I won't go into detail to avoid spoilers but I saw that one coming. Saw it coming and hoped I was right. I almost did a little dance, I was so excited, once I found out it's indeed true!
