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

5.0

Okay, so wow this book was intense so much Chaol x Celaena. It should be renamed from Crown of Midnight to giant bag of nope. Like everything that happened was just so awesome! My favorite seen had to be Chaol’s birthday date. It was the last cute moment before everything truly went to hell. I was so mad when Nehemia died and then Celaena just blamed Chaol and their relationship went down the toilet. They better get back together in the next book or else…I will cry.

I also really liked that Dorian got magic, though it does take away from Chaol, so Chaol needs some relevance to plot. Maybe him going back to his “home” will help out. Maybe he’s magical too. Speaking of magic, holy shit when Chaol went into that portal to save Fleetfoot, I died because I thought he was going to be trapped in there and like go crazy or die. But then when Celeana went in and then basically turned into her Fae form. It was…interesting. I found it a little funny because she was like, “I can smell Chaol’s awe and terror”. Which was just a hilarious line. Chaol sending her to Wendlyn was also interesting, I was a little miffed because now the trio is going to separated. I mean Celaena will be away from the king who always terrifies me, especially when has a pov. It’s always have this horrible vibe to it.

Also, it’s kind of ironic the way that Celaena is basically fighting for Nehemia’s idea of not having a dictator but Elena is pretty bossy.

That’s all I can really say about this, oh and gore. Like Celaena was just murdering everyone left in right like first we get that flashback to where she “snapped”. Then she snaps again and slaughter’s fucking Archer’s group (glad he’s dead, the prick) and then she tries to kill Chaol. Then she brutally kills Grave. I’m kind of having trouble buying that Archer tricked Grave into thinking it was the councilman, that just seems kinda…wrong. Archer was an asshole, glad he’s dead.
