Crown of Midnight is the second book in the Throne of Glass series. It is just as violent, dramatic and romantic as the first book, with even more tragedy than before. Celebes time at the assassins competition time is over, now the real games begin.
Celaena Sardothein won the position of the King’s Assassin. There’s just one problem, she isn’t actually killing any of her assigned targets. She feels it is only a matter of time before the King catches on. The risks she tasks trying not to assassinate her targets gets harder as she is ordered to kill a courtesan from her old assassin guild days – Archer Finn. This makes life difficult for the assassin along with making the connection Archer and the rebels may have with her now good friend, Princess Nehemia.
If this wasn’t enough to further complicate things for Celaena, she starts to fear she may be falling in love but Chaol only knows half the story on who Celaena was, a slave but not before she became an assassin and what she could be or has a right to be.
Celaena may have to take on and deal with more than being an assassin as she finds she can no longer hide from her true powers or destiny, and her locked assassin heart can’t stay like that forever.
This book proves the Throne of Glass fantasy series only gets better with time due to the deeper insights into Celaena and her company. I couldn’t put Crown of Midnight down and the cliff-hanger of Chaol’s eventual revelation about Celaena at the end will leave you begging for more.
Trust me, you won’t be able to resist finding out how Celaena will turn out in the third book of the series, Heir of Fire.
