Crown of Midnight Book 2 in Throne of Glass series

Crown of Midnight Book 2 in Throne of Glass series | A Review

Crown of Midnight is the second book in the series of Throne of Glass. The story continues further in this book. Our Celaena is now the King's assassin and she is working and earning a lot. She is buying expensive stuff and lots and lots of books. The love triangle between Dorian, Celaena, and Chaol has ended because Cealena has made her choice; Nehemia and Caleane's friendship is going strong; and Now other things are happening that need our attention 😅😂.

Here is the Goodreads description of the book;

"A line that should never be crossed is about to be breached.

It puts this entire castle in jeopardy—and the life of your friend."

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.

MY REVIEW

This is another level of good from the last one. The first book gives of somewhat close world and cozy vibe. This book also gave the same vibe but somewhat expanded the horizon. Celaena is playing a double game with the king. Chaol wants Celaena's attention. Dorian also wants her attention but she is staying away from the prince breaking the heart of the prince in the process.

The scene of Archer meeting Celaena and Chaol getting jealous was epic 😅. Things get good for a while and then in typical Sarah J Maas fashion, everything goes to shit. Someone important dies, Celaena breaks down and Chaol suffers the consequences and then there is a big reveal at the end of the book which blows my mind 🤯.

In conclusion, this book was great in the grand scheme of things that are going to happen in the next books 👍

THE BEST PART
☙ The Dynamics between Chaol, Celaena, and Dorian

☙ Nehemia and Celaena's friendship

Celaena and Chaol ❤

☙ Fleetfoot and Celaena dynamics were wholesome too

☙ More secrets and ancient prophecies and history and stuff

THE WORST PART:
An Important Character dies
BEST CHARACTER
☙ Celaena because of her sass

☙ Dorian because of his cuteness

WORST CHARACTER
The King

MY FAVOURITE QUOTES

☙“The best lies were always mixed with truth.”

☙“The rest of the world quieted into nothing. In that moment, after ten long years, Celaena looked at Chaol and realized she was home.”

☙“But death was her curse and her gift, and death had been her good friend these long, long years.”

☙“Some things you hear with your ears. Others, you hear with your heart.”

☙“Celaena Sardothien wasn’t in league with Aelin Ashryver Galathynius.”

☙“He wouldn't let his servants change the sheets on his bed because they still smelled like her, because he went to sleep dreaming that she was still lying beside him.”

Happy Reading!!

The Awakening | Zodiac Academy Series written by Caroline Peckham and Suzanne Valenti | A Book Review

Alright, here I am, sharing my thoughts on the first book The Awakening from Zodiac Academy series written by Caroline Peckham and Susanne Valenti . I decided to start reviewing this series as it falls under the 'enemies to lovers ' and 'bullies romance' genres, which are right up my alley. I'm a sucker for this type of book and I am always on the hunt for such books. Someone made a video of this book on TikTok and I was like I had to read it. So, I began reading the book and I fell into a rabbit hole of Magic Academy, hot assholes, and alternative Fae world. It felt like diving into a more mature version of Harry Potter. Needless to say, I absolutely loved this first installment.

Have you ever stumbled upon a series that not only captures your imagination but also challenges the norms of classic narratives?

Where is Molly by H.D Carlton | A Review

Where is Molly is a stand alone book written by H.D Carlton. It is set in the Universe of Haunting Adeline. The story revolves around Molly...the girl we found in Hunting Adeline. Her diary was founded by Adeline under the floor and us readers always wanted to know if she succeeded in running away from that awful place. Blurb A spinoff of the Cat & Mouse Duet... “Molly Devereaux has been missing for more than two weeks, and police are still searching for the girl who seemed to vanish out of thin air. The world still wants to know... Where's Molly?” In my dreams, I never escaped the Oregon woods. Life after death isn't easy to accept, especially when I still feel like a ghost. Now, I live deep in the mountains of Montana—the paradigm of beauty. But they are also the home of horrors. Horrors that I only unleash at night. When my pigs are allowed to feast. It is strongly recommended to read Haunting Adeline and Hunting Adeline before reading Where's Molly. Important No...

Lightlark by Alex Aster | A Book Review

A Fellow booktoker recommended me this book. She talks about it all the time and makes really catchy videos featuring this Duology. I got interested and purchased this book. Lightlark is the first book in the series written by Alex Aster. I got to know some pretty interesting facts about the Author and how this book was published. You should learn it too this is not my story to tell 😅. Anyhow I started reading this book in March and finished it one week. Somehow I got late in writing and reviewed all the books I read in March. So now I am starting again. This is the brief of this book on Goodreads; Welcome to the Centennial. Every 100 years, the island of Lightlark appears to host the Centennial, a deadly game that only the rulers of six realms are invited to play. The invitation is a summons—a call to embrace victory and ruin, baubles and blood. The Centennial offers the six rulers one final chance to break the curses that have plagued their realms for centuries. Each ruler has somet...
