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.

I don't even know how to start this review for Crown of Midnight, because I have so many FEELS for this novel...I can't even words right now! Seriously, hands down, this is THE BEST book that I have read so far this year and definitely one of the most anticipated. I was literally up until all hours of the night reading this, I absolutely could not bring myself to put it down. Crown of Midnight is so completely enthralling and filled with so much mystery, suspense, and dangerous twists and turns around every corner that you'll be completely captivated by the story Sarah J. Maas has created. The plot, the characters, and imagery are phenomenal and kept me drooling all over the pages as I devoured this book.

I cannot say enough good things about this amazing and thrilling sequel to, Throne of Glass. Maas really did hit it out of the park with this, by bringing in more danger and super complex complicated games that will have loyalties tested at every available opportunity imaginable. Mysterious and edgy, you are going to absolutely fall in love with Crown of Midnight. Talk about a nail biter, this one definitely fits the profile. What more could you ask for in such a perfect follow up to an amazing start? Dark suspicion, adventurous and daring danger, intrigue, swoon-worthy boys, and romance.

Oh, the romance and the boys! How could you choose, Chaol or Dorian!? Dorian or Chaol?! One's dark and broody and the other one is oh so, tricksy. It's just...Guh! And they're both absolutely kickass and for spoilers sake, I won't say what happens or who Celaena picks, but there's definitely a connection between her and both of them. You'll just have to read to find out what it is.

If you love kickass fantasy, amazingly strong and brilliantly developed characters, and intriguing plot suspense then this is the novel for you. Seriously, it is! So, you should go pick it up as soon as it hits shelves in bookstores near you. It is the absolutely perfect, most super genius, fantasy filled world that I've seen written in a while and that's saying a lot! Mostly I like fantasy, but this book absolutely made me fall in love with fantasy. This is absolutely how it's supposed to be done.

So, what are you waiting for?! You should go pre-order this...NOW!
