Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
I absolutely loved this book - it was a big step up from Throne of Glass in my opinion. There was a lot more happening, and there wasn't a dull moment. I liked seeing more of Celaena in action and seeing her relationships with other characters develop. We also find out a fair bit about the world of the series, which I enjoyed. I'm glad I read The Assassin's Blade before this however. I think it really adds to the story, because Celaena reflects on some of the happenings from the novellas, and it's nice to know exactly what happened. Dorian wasn't as present in this novel, which was a little sad, but I like the direction he's heading in. My affection for Chaol also grew a lot in this one. Highlight for spoiler:[That moment when he told Celaena he would run away with her made me cry. Not joking. I felt so awful for him when Celaena got mad at him for Nehemia's death (which by the way, I was actually really shocked by), because he was only trying to do the right thing.]. Nehemia was great too, I loved how she stayed true to herself throughout the novel. I can't wait to get into Heir of Fire and see where the story goes. |
I need to pick up Throne of Glass, I've been meaning to but other books get in the way and I think my mind as well because I hate waiting for books to come out so I might wait until the forth book is out (there are gonna be six, right? or I just made that up?). Everybody says amazing things about The Giver but I'm not sure if I want to read it because I'm a bit sick of dystopian books lol
ReplyDeleteYeah, I'm pretty sure there is going to be six. That's what I last heard anyway. Haha I've been a little like that lately too. I would call The Giver books light dystopia... if that makes any sense. They were a lot different to what I was first expecting. But waiting until you're ready for more dystopian books is probably a good idea :P
