Crown of Midnight (418 Pages)

This is the second book in this series by Sarah Maas. The first, Throne of Glass, has been deemed Best Book by Kirkus Review, Amazon, YALSA, and an MTV Hollywood Crush Best YA Novel Nominee. And this book is just as good as the first one. Assassin Celaena continues her job working for the evil king in order to claim her freedom. Her relationship with Chaol becomes romantic and her relationship with the crown prince changes to one of friendship. Readers discover that she has not carried out killing for the king, rather brings back proof of kills from bodies that have died as a result of illness while giving the accused a chance to leave the area. In spite of the 418 pages, the book is a fast read and Maas does an excellent job of moving the reader from scene to scene. The absolutely worse thing about this read, is that it's over, and now I need to wait until next summer for the next book in the series. UGH!
