Crown of Midnight
YA / September 26, 2020

I found myself wanting to pick up the next book in the series after finishing Throne of Glass because I was looking forward to what mischief Celaena would find herself drawn to. I was not disappointed. This book continues her investigating and attempts to unravel the mysteries around her while trying to cover her tracks and remain true to herself. This one has a little more action thrown into the mix and we find out more about Celaena, what she’s hiding, and what she’s capable of. We see she is a force of nature loyal to those she cares about such as Chaol and Nehemia. Chaol is steady, loyal, and honorable, and she has this deep inexplicable connection to him that just continues to grow over time. Eventually she gives in to her growing feelings and turns to him for more than just companionship and a safe place to pass the time. At the same time, she seems to have this soul-deep connection with Nehemia like they are two of a kind although Celaena doesn’t want to see it or own it. Like Nehemia, I feel like she has potential for so much more if she would just dare to…
