"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 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.''

Um, wow. Just wow.
This book is so much more than I expected. It's the sequel to Throne of Glass, and even though there were a lot of fanatics out there, I wasn't as much of a fan. Sure, it was a good book, but not that good. But Crown of Midnight? Holy macaroni. The feels just about destroyed me.
Eveything was better. The romance, the suspence, even the plot. And ohmigosh, there were some plot twists that hit me right in the gut. They came out of freaking nowhere, and caught me by surprise. I WASN'T PREPARED FOR THOSE PLOT TWISTS, OKAY?
One thing that I still didn't like, was our protagonist, Celaena. Or should I call her Lillian? Whatever. Point is, she was selfish, and cowardly. Honestly though, the only thing I liked about her were her sassiness, and her badassness. Okay, so she wasn't that bad. Still. Not the best main character I have encountered.
My favourite part was the romance. We were kind of in a triangle, but I have to say, I shipped Chaol and Celaena, so, so hard. I mean, who wouldn't? Chaol is perfect, absolutely awesome. A handsome, strong, noble knight? Sign me up for that. Okay, so maybe the reason I hated Celaena was because she had Chaol #sorrynotsorry. But then, then- IT WAS RUINED. Why Sarah J. Maas, why? She just had to destroy them, because, God forbid, they were happy for a few weeks. The ending gave me hope though. Please, please, please give me more Chalaena in the next book.
Well, bye bye, I'm off to read Heir of Fire, the next thrilling book in this series!
