✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧ ✧

HOLY SHIT 

GODDAMN 🤯 

Y’all ain’t ready because the plot is THICCC
You don’t know who to trust. Friendships & loyalty will be tested. There’s almost no recovery time before the next major twist happens. 
I love how SJM has several storylines happening simultaneously and they’re all interconnected. PAY CLOSE attention to the details so you don’t miss what happens 

If you haven’t already read The Assassin’s Blade novellas prior to starting book 1, you definitely need to before reading Crown of Midnight because we’re finally getting some answers!  

Celaena Sardothien continues to be an absolute badass, but I love that we get to dive into her self destructive behaviors. Especially when she’s dealing with grief & feeling hopeless after she’s given everything and doesn’t know how to keep going. 

I loved the complex relationships she has with Dorian and Chaol. I can’t wait to see how it plays out. 

Dorian’s storyline is starting to take off, I love that we got more from his perspective and his struggles. 

This book was so good! I can’t say anything else without spoiling it but THE MF ENDING 🤯🫣
