I didn't find Crown of Midnight as compelling a read as Throne of Glass, but it was entertaining enough. I'll keep reading to see how the mysteries unfold.

This was a really solid middle book of a series, it progressed the plot in a way that was important to the series overall and had its own contained plot line as well as some interesting plot twists going along. My one complaint is that the romance plot has been getting a bit repetitive as the series goes on but everything else is great. I love the world and the main character.

I'm beginning this by talking about that ending, because damn. Ranking a star higher for the way the plot thickened in a delicious way that I very much liked. Celaena Sardothien is finally on her way to becoming who she is truly meant to be, and I for one am very excited. Very interested in how things turn our for other characters too. First off, I almost took that fourth star off for Nehemia's brutal and tragic end, but I knew it needed to happen. I will mourn her forever, my sweet and brave Light of Eyllwe. Chaol on the other hand, oh man. He fucked up, and Celaena still cares for him, but also doesn't trust him, which is understandable. I do still like him though, and I do wanna see where his redemption will take him. And then there's Dorian, my sweet blue eyed magical prince. I'm kinda scared for him, but also curious and excited to see how he will explore and master his brewing magic. And what he plans to do to finally make that stand against his bastard father. All in all, I'm a lot more satisfied than I was last book, and I'm definitely looking forward for more.

This book was a much slower start than the previous one, but really picked up in the last 1/3 to be difficult to put down. Good action, adventure and characters you want to see more of.

The last 100 pages definitely ruled this book, that's for sure.

The whole bit when Nehemia was murdered and then the betrayal from Chaol... I won't like, Celaena annoyed the fuck out of me. Now, word on the street is that AB goes into detail about C's past and gives more understanding to her actions with Chaol, but lord. She wouldn't even give the dude a second to speak. I know things work out between them (mostly) later on, and Celaena is able to get to a better place mentally, but in the moment, I was like, "Girl. Take a breath." And it's funny, because she then starts the "lies by omission" thing with Dorian to "protect him" and while YES, Chaol should have told her....She should also have told Dorian. These morally grey idiots. But I also acknowledge that C is 18 and has experienced more horrific trauma than most would in several lifetimes, so. She mostly redeemed herself by the end for me.

Needless to say, I'm following the recommendations of many and am reading Assassin's Blade next.

This book is hard for me to rate because I've let it linger for a bit before actually reviewing it and it is so deeply forgettable. There was one larger chunk of the book that I enjoyed and it was after a major event occurs and our main character begins to go a bit unhinged with her rage and grief. Loved this part of the story for sure, but the overwhelming majority of the book ebbed and flowed into portions I truly could not have given a shit about. And the reveal at the end of the book is hard for me to review as well because if I'd read this series as it was coming out I'm sure it would have been shocking and intriguing but as someone who was way late to the party I already knew about this plot point and found it to be very meh. I'm going to continue reading the series and see how I feel after the next book before deciding if I'm going to continue on. I think that my overall feelings on the first two books so far is that these books definitely aren't bad but I'm not loving them by any means either. So basically just kind of mediocre for me.
