Keep in mind that this is a problematic author and I’m reading this from a library outlet so I’m not profiting SJM- I like the development of Chaol's character and the relationships in the book. Last 100 pages hurt a bit. Chaol’s actions were completely in character which made it hurt more. Didn’t like the fact that the sole poc character was killed to further the white mc’s storyline but it’s SJM.

This is my second time reading this book. Still love it. That last chapter - chefs kiss. There are two things that bother me though… 1st. Mort is literally useless. He could have not existed in this book, and nothing would change. I don’t get the point of him. 2nd. I felt like Celaena should’ve been more upset about finding out Nehemia betrayed her all that time. It doesn’t feel like it fits her character to just look past that and still hold all the love for her. Cannot wait for the next one.

I enjoyed the slow world building of the first half of the book, but I absolutely loved all the twists and turns of the second half. Although I did know the major twist at the end (thanks to this book series so popular for years) it didn’t take away from the details (which I didn’t know about). The last 20% of this book had my heart racing! It’s going to take me a while to recover from this...!

God... where shall I even start with this review? This is definitely an exceptional sequel! Again, please check trigger warnings before reading this book 💚
For starters, I’m still a proud Dorian and Nehemia simp and Chaol has finally found a —really small— space in my heart.
Personally, I feel like Crown of Midnight truly encompasses everything that Throne of Glass failed to accomplish. At first, Celaena felt like a poor excuse of a fantasy main character. Now? she’s finally at a good potential. I think that Celaena and Dorian are such amazing characters and I’m craving to see what SJM will do with them in the next book.
This book definitely kicks Throne of Glass to a 3 or 4 stars review.

This is definitely one of those series that you cherish despite its flaws. Celaena is growing on me, Dorian is getting interesting and Chaol is the precious bean he was always destined to be.
If you’ve been on the book side of the internet at all you’ll have had most of the big twists in this spoiled for you without realising but it’s still definitely worth the read.
