Holy crap, things just got real. Wow, where do I even begin with this sequel? I wasn't sure I was even going to bother reading it after I finished Throne of Glass and thought it was okay, but a pretty weak attempt at fantasy. Want to know what reading Crown of Midnight felt like? It was like Sarah J. Maas listened to every single criticism I could have thrown at the first book, absorbed everything I loved and everything that bugged me... and then wrote a near-perfect book. The kind I *wanted* th...

4. 5 ⭐️ HOLY MOTHER OF PEARL WHAAAAATTTTTT!!!!!!!
Okay, seriously, I just finished Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas and I am completely speechless. I mean, WHAAAAATTTTTT?!?!?! This book took everything I loved about Throne of Glass and cranked it up to eleven. The plot twists? Insane. The action? Non-stop. The romance? Oh. My. God.
Sarah J. Maas is a genius. A freaking GENIUS. She knows how to build a world, create characters you become completely invested in, and then rip your heart out an...

I absolutely devoured this entire book, but the ending? Seriously mind-blowing 🤯. I practically FLEW through those final chapters. If you're looking for a thrilling fantasy book review, definitely check out Sarah J. Maas's *Crown of Midnight*.

Idc, I devoured this book! (4.5 stars) ((Also, I guessed the ending/kinda had it spoiled, and I'm so mad, but it still slayed)) Sarah J. Maas's *Crown of Midnight* was exactly what I needed. If you're looking for thrilling young adult fantasy books, this is it.

Celaena might be a lot of things, but she is not a murderer.She is an assassin.There's a difference. (Probably.) "He had no idea what sort of darkness lurked inside her, or what sort of monster she was willing to become in order to make things right." I honestly don't even know where to start with this one. *Crown of Midnight* was so good, and I'm just absolutely reeling from that ending. Because. Wow. Sarah J. Maas just delivered on this sequel. Seriously. "Enough! We have enough enemies as it ...

I honestly don't know what to do with myself right now.
I'm just... wow.
The only reason Sarah J. Maas's *Crown of Midnight* isn't getting a higher rating from me is because the first half was a bit of a slow burn, and I wasn't totally hooked. But the second half? OH. MY. GOD. It more than made up for it. Someone send help, please? Seriously, *Crown of Midnight* is an emotional rollercoaster. This is a top-tier book review, right here.

Wow! This was an exceptional sequel. I loved it so much! I feel like the series has more of a direction now, which is super exciting. I'm still processing everything that happened in "Crown of Midnight," because SO MUCH HAPPENS. Sarah J. Maas really packed this one. I'll be doing a full review/discussion soon – stay tuned for my thoughts on this amazing fantasy book!

HOLY CRAP, THIS WAS SO GOOD. I NEED THE NEXT ONE RIGHT NOW, NOOOOOOO!
Also, I appreciate the fact that this isn't going to be a trilogy. We need more fantasy SERIES in the young adult genre.

UPDATE: REVIEW 5++ STARSHoly mother of all Gods! I'm starstruck. This is what I'd call a gorgeous sequel. Dare I say it, it might even top Throne of Glass!
Celaena Sardothien is doing her job as King's Champion, meaning she's killing people that stepped on the king's toes. And now she's got a new target: Archer Finn, former crush and friend from the time when she was within the Assassin’s Guild. Turns out, she's not killing her targets, but faking their deaths, so she's in a lot of dange...
