Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass, 2)

By Sarah J. Maas

Never trust an assassin. Celaena's story continues in the second book in this complete, #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas, author of the Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) series. Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King's Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion-not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart. Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie . . . and what she is willing to fight for. The second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman's truth is the only thing that can save them all. Other books in this series include: Throne of Glass Heir of Fire Queen of Shadows Empire of Storms Tower of Dawn Kingdom of Ash The Assassin's Blade (prequel novellas)

This is my Roman Empire series. I loved every single book and am giving them all 5 stars. I was so invested in the storyline and in the characters and their arcs. Hands down, this is my favorite series to date.

This is the fastest I’ve ever started and finished a book. I couldn’t put it down. I didn’t want it to ever end, but I also needed to know what happened. 5 stars isn’t enough, honestly. I don’t know how she’s going to top this one…

I still have a hard time imagining the main character as a teenager, given the training and experiences she's had and how quick she is to rise to a "battle rage" pitch. But other than that, I'm enjoying this small detour (from my usual fare) into more traditional fantasy, but with some seriously strong female characters.

Wow okay THAT ENDING I was not expecting any of it! I greatly appreciate the slow and thorough world building of this series. I can’t wait to continue with it
