Review: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas

Published August 15th 2013

From the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.

Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart.

Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena’s world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie… and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for.

I’m still trying to gather my thoughts about this book. All I can really say is that I loved this book and this series is insane.
The world building is amazing, the characters are phenomenal, the writing is outrageous. I loved all the action and character development.
The ending killed me but it was worth it.
If you haven’t started this series yet, DO IT.
