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.
