An amazing sequel that simply continues where the first book ended, without missing a beat. Never have I read a story that has such a natural flow of love and anger, everything makes perfect sense and feels entirely natural. I'm thoroughly impressed and am so glad to already have the next book in the series.

It was a decent read. It was not as captivating as the other 2 book I've read in this series so far, but the pace of the plot stayed moving forward. It was nice not to have it get bogged down with wallowing emotions. It's one of the reasons I've been enjoying this series.

This is the type of book and style I would expect from SJM after reading ACOTAR and Crescent City. 
Solid reads with decent plot and pacing. I can tell something good is brewing.

Crown of Midnight is markedly better than Throne of Glass, develops the three major characters in considerably more depth, and better establishes the longer investment of the narrative series. 

That said, the treatment of the one character of color that was major in Throne of Glass is upsetting. Maas’ casts aren’t particularly diverse to begin with, and this book’s fridging of the most prominent (and visible) character of color so far does not bode well for future characters of color, if they’re introduced at all.
