Hello All,
We are into the second book of the five book series. I have to say that I wasn't sure I was going to read the second one but I took a chance. My thoughts are below. I hope that you will find my thoughts helpful as you decide upon whether or not to give this book a try,
Crown of Midnight
From the start this book just feels like the author has settled into the series and is prepared to tell it to you all. She offers snippets of book one but she has described more of this book than she had done in before. So its more gore and its not for the weak of the heart. There is still something there to offer those who love romance. We see a romance take seed, grow and bloom. It gets ripped from the ground before it has a chance to go anywhere else. I think that was the best sort of rollercoaster ride for the readers of this series.

Crown of Midnight
Eighteen-year-old Celaena Sardothien is bold, daring and beautiful – the perfect seductress and the greatest assassin her world has ever known. But though she won the King's contest and became his champion, Celaena has been granted neither her liberty nor the freedom to follow her heart. The slavery of the suffocating salt mines of Endovier that scarred her past is nothing compared to a life bound to her darkest enemy, a king whose rule is so dark and evil it is near impossible to defy. Celaena faces a choice that is tearing her heart to pieces: kill in cold blood for a man she hates, or risk sentencing those she loves to death. Celaena must decide what she will fight for: survival, love or the future of a kingdom. Because an assassin cannot have it all . . . And trying to may just destroy her.
Love or loathe Celaena, she will slice open your heart with her dagger and leave you bleeding long after the last page of this New York Times bestselling sequel, in what is undeniably THE hottest new fantasy series.

From the start this book just feels like the author has settled into the series and is prepared to tell it to you all.

I think that was the best sort of rollercoaster ride for the readers of this series.
We see Celaena go through her biggest loss yet and how she can't seem to drag herself back from the edge. Dorian is there to help her and he is going to need her just as much as she needs him. Their distance is going to be put behind them as things change for the pair again. This was a page turner with some moments that I had to step away as it was gross, however that added to the world that Sarah J Mass is building with these books. She did a really good job.
I do recommend it to those who are looking for a thrill in their young adult reads.
Thank you for stopping by to read the latest review that I have taken the time to put up to help guide you in this ever growing book world. Come back again soon,
