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.
Phew, what a ride! But good lord does Calaena go through men. And I'm still not entirely convinced she's a very good assassin. She's spotted every time she tries to track someone and misses almost every time she tries to kill someone.
There is also the plot crutch of good guys never talking to each other, and the bad guys never shutting up! But still, Crown of Midnight is the kind of swashbuckling romantic adventure you can just lose yourself in. I read the whole book in 24 hours which should give a pretty clear indication of how engrossed I was.
Again, it's tropey and predictable, but a cracking good read nonetheless! I'm hooked.
