Crown of Midnight

Throne of Glass, Book 2

By: Sarah J. Maas

Narrated by: Elizabeth Evans

Bloomsbury presents Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

Never trust an assassin.

Celaena’s story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion—not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a 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 decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie . . . and what she is willing to fight for.

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can save them all.©2013 Sarah J. Maas (P)2021 Bloomsbury Publishing PLC

Just keeps getting better!

So, first I read the series, “A Quart of Thorns and Roses” and loved it. I couldn’t wait for the next in the series, so I read “Crescent City” and LOVED that! Next my friend suggested this series and I’m in love again! Sarah J. Maas!! How do you do it?! They keep getting better!!

Miscommunication

I like the book, it’s light and fun but dragging the miscommunication until the very last minute was annoying.

middle slums

the middle of this book was a struggle but in the end things make me want to read the next.

The ending

I knew it from book one, what was revealed at the end! Need next book.

Truly iconic

I had been waiting for this one! The last few chapters were amazing! Couldn’t recommend this series more!
