A review by kaista
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

5.0

Another in the series that might be a 4-star that I’ll still give 5 stars anyways. I think it did exactly what it set out to do - set up the rest of the series.

All of a sudden we went from a champion’s tournament in the first book to discovering what’s really at stake for Erilea in this book. It transitions perfectly from an introduction to characters to us figuring out hints to what their roles may be in the rest of the series.

Throughout that transition, we get to see the assassin side of Celaena in this book and delve further into her history/past. And Dorian’s character goes from charming to immensely interesting. Chaol’s still Chaol.

The mysteries kept me reading and gasping until the very end, and I couldn’t wait to pick up Heir of Fire next.
