Book Review: Crown of Midnight

 


Throne of Glass Book 2

“If they wanted Adarlan's Assassin, they'd get her.
And Wyrd help them when she arrived.”

SYNOPSIS
She is the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But does she have the heart of a killer?

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. But Calaena is far from loyal to the crown. Keeping up the charade - while pretending to do the king's bidding - will test her skills in an entirely new way. And it certainly isn't the only point of confusion for the young girl. Because though she's made her choice between Dorian and Chaol, the ways of the heart are never simple... 

REVIEW
This book is important from the plot development point of view, which is the only reason I could complete it. Don't get me wrong, the book is well written and quite interesting but the part I did not like is the love triangle one. I've never liked than trope and this book was heavily based on it. It does get sorted by the end but it gives rise to unnecessary complications.

There is not much to say about the book because it is more of a link than a proper book but if you love the love triangle trope you might just enjoy it. 
The best part of the book was that we got to see a lot of the assassin side of Celeana. Don't worry, she did not lose her self loving, boastful side.

All in all, it was an action and romance packed novel with a very impactful ending.

My Rating: 3/5

Author: Sarah J. Maas

Preceded By: Throne of Glass

Followed By: Heir Of Fire
