Made You Up by Francesca Zappia
3.0
This was very good. A story of mental illness that didn't feel like it was glamorized for the sake of a good story. It was twisty, but not in ways that make you think "I DID NOT SEE THAT COMING!" but, "Now I see why ___ happened and now I can put together the pieces." The reason for those moments is understandable once you get to know the main character.

This was a fun read. A funny take on history. It's told in the form of if one could re-write history it's interesting to see what they could come up with. Going in, I didn't think the story was going to take a fantasy element to it as it did. It was still enjoyable and kept me reading.

I've wanted to start this series for a while, but I don't think I would have done so if I didn't just finish reading ACOMAF. Maybe I'm still recovering from that series, because there were times I kept waiting for Rhys to show up, lol. Over all I enjoyed this. I don't think it's one of my favorite books/series YET, but I'll only know that if I continue on with it, which I will. I liked the characters. I think I was hoping for a bit of romance, but after reading something like ACOMAF and then reading a book about an assassin, I figured that wouldn't be so. I am glad, however, that the romance was light in order to direct the focus on Cealena and her abilities and story rather than a partial romance with a Prince. I liked Cealena a lot. She's a strong character.
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

Overall this was a strong second installment to the series, but there were times where the plot went in so many different directions I got a little lost. Each plot line was tied together at the end for the most part. The ending reveal though, although kind of obvious, it still made me smile. Cealena grows a lot in this one. I liked her romance with Chaol. When I found out about Dorian and his power, I have to say I was surprised considering his father's kingdom hasn't had magic for so long. I also found it to be a little expected.
