Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) by Sarah J. Maas



An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.

After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.

Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.

Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

I. Love. This. Book. So much happened and we learn so many secrets in this book! People die, Celaena makes her choice, someone's got magical abilities, and more :)

I'll admit that after reading the awesomeness of the Novellas leading to the release of Throne of Glass, I was left feeling disappointed after finishing ToG.. Going into Crown of Midnight my expectations were much lower than I had with the ToG, but Crown of Midnight decided not only to met my expectations, but shatter them into little bitsy piece and showed them who was the real BOSS!!

I love this world, I love the characters, I love the writing style, I love the characters (oh wait I already said characters)I loved the character development, I loved the dialogue, I loved everything about this book!!

I usually don't like series that have more than 3 book, I feel like they drag after so many books, but with Celaena, I'm looking forward for the 3rd, 4th, 5th, 6th and Maas said even possible 7th book in this series.

Forget the boys, I'm #TeamCelaena all day. I can't wait to read more from this series!!

I'm with you guys! I'm reading CoM right now and loving it! I too was somewhat letdown with ToG after loving the novellas but the sequel is so good!!! 13% in and it's awesome how (view spoiler)[ Calaena is disobeying the king and not killing, although hopefully he doesn't find out and do anything to Chaol! (hide spoiler)]

This was the best sequel I've read in the past years!
I often was dissapointed by the second book of a strong series, but Sarah made me like the hole series even more after reading COM. I can't wait for Book 3... I have great expectations now :-)
The character development is perfect, thrilling plot, great romance. Just loved it!

I really loved the novellas and ToG was good, but my excitement was renewed after finishing CoM!!

Definitely looking forward to the next books.....

This book is... OMG I love it soooo much!!! Seriously, I'm usually pretty calm, but this... ARH! I haven't been able to get caught up in a book after reading this book!
Sarah J. Maas is definitely one of new generation's YA most talented writers!

I'm really loving it so far!! At 38% and going to make a random prediction (view spoiler)[ Archer is a good actor and is totally playing Celaena :( I think he is part of the rebellion. Hope Celaena makes it through OK, but I'm really worried for her! Oh and I LOVE Dorian and the way he's standing up against his father. (hide spoiler)]

this is my favorite new series. i can't believe i'll have to wait until next year for the next book.

I know!! And so many more years before it's finished! But I'm sure she'll keep us busy with more novellas yay!! I wrote a quick review without spoilers because I loved this book so much!

i loved this book so much and i seriously cannot wait for the next one because i like need to know what happens next.

You and me both!!!

Really good but do you think Chaol fell to his knees at the end because she was gone or because he feared he set her up to destroy the king?

i think it's because she's gone and she dropped that bomb on him about her (view spoiler)[ being a fairie (hide spoiler)]

SO did Celaena get with Chaol in this book? I never finished the first one but I was just wondering because I wanted her to stay with Dorian.

i think it's because she's gone and she..."

Yep, I agree!

I think he fell to his knees, because he knew, that he has to made a great decision in his future: on which side will he stand? Celeana or the king...

i have no doubt it will be hard for him but i'm sure he'll choose Celeana. i can;t wait to read how he'll start disobeying and plotting against the king.

Easy decision, the king is evil!

i have no doubt it will be ..."

Yeha, this will be great! I have no doubt either: Chaol will stand on Celeanas side!
