Couldn't pick this up faster after finishing the first installment of Throne of Glass. To compare with the first book, I would say Crown of Midnight is somewhat slower paced, though still solidly medium-paced overall. While still very plot-heavy and plot-driven, there is immense character growth (individual and relationships) in this book that are very enjoyable. This book is definitely when I became attached to many characters, making this a much more emotional read. Once again, Maas manages to write plot twists that I do not see coming, which I consider a feat. Although this series does not have much graphic sex, the slow-burn sexual tension in Crown of Midnight is HOT. I enjoyed TOG ever so slightly more than COM, but this is still an excellent second installment to the series.
