Coroa da meia-noite Midnight Crown: Trono de Vidro, Livro 2 Throne of Glass, Book 2 by Sarah J. Maas, Brina Costa

Spicy Level: 🌶️/5 (We get some sexy time but it's fade to black)
So I initially went into this highly sceptical and doubtful that I'd find any redeeming qualities to make me OBSESSED with this series, as I see so many people are... and while I am not obsessed and still think past me was slightly crazy and delusional...this book was definitely better than book 1!
I don't abore Celaena Lillian Elentiya Aelin or whatever the crap her name is but I don't hate her as much as I did in book 1. I liked this more as she wasn't as infuriating as in book 1 since she seemed to grow up. She wasn't obsessed with her clothing and looks, or not being invited to events. I guess being called a "coward" by your friend for not serving the greater cause can do that to you. She turns quiet ruthless when certain events occur in the book.
While I don't really like love triangles this one was....actually no... I still hate love triangles. The unnecessary angst - to me, it still feels like such a cop-out "not like the other girls" YA trope that seems too easy to do...I prefer Dorian to Chaol and I cannot wait for when Shadow Daddy becomes a full-fledged Shadow Daddy!
The writing (annoying Celaena aside) is excellent, there is something about the world-building and general writing of SJM that can suck you in and lull you. It's very well written and the main reason I am continuing on my listening journey. The plot starts to pick up in this as there has been more time to develop the world and things start falling into place. A few mysteries are solved as we finally learn how everything that has been happening is tied together. But we are still presented with numerous twists and turns and a cliffhanger.
Overall still confused as to why I needed to have read 2 books to start being hooked on a series but I can feel that this little fishy is almost falling for the bait of Throne of Glass's Fantasy World...
Your Tropes:
▶ Love Triangle
▶ Hidden Identity
▶ Unexpected Twists and Turns
▶ Unique Magic System and Intricate World Building
▶ Who did this to you (kinda)
