Definitely a gripping plot! The mystery kept me hooked. The romance was fun but I know never to hope for our dear Celaena.

Enjoyed listening to the audiobook. Character development continues, Caelena seems like a psycho. Slightly frustrated she trusts old acquaintances easily.

4.5 ⭐️ 

The Crown of Midnight had more action and intrigue than Throne of Glass. Maas really does a good job of character building. Looking forward to reading the remainder of the series.

i think it would have done me better to relisten to throne of glass before trying to read crown of midnight because the time between the two was so long. however, using libby i wasn’t sure how long i would have to wait for throne of glass and wasn’t keen on letting go of my hold on crown of midnight to go back. i’m still a wee bit lost tho LOL.

i also listen to these so i don’t know how to spell their names so here i will shorten them to C for our kings champions, Cael (Kale), Dorian, and Naheemia and just pray that it’s close enough.

C is doing the kings dirty work for him as his champion and assassin. she is tasked with assassinating someone she knew from her childhood who is supposedly part of a growing rebel movement against the king. C knows the king is corrupt and she knows there are secrets that are in the castle that are dangerous and looming. princess naheemja is pressuring her to join the rebel movement and protect the people of her country who are enslaved. C knows what the right thing to do is, but she doesn’t want to get caught up in it. but when tragedy strikes… will she have a choice?
