Crown of Midnight
Throne of Glass - Book 2
The hits just keep coming with this series.
The King's Champion is given a name, with the order to bring back their head.
While Celaena Sardothien is an infamous assassin, she frowns upon killing the innocent "just because". This girl makes up her own rules, all the while playing the part of the good little hired hand. So long as the King does not find out, she will be fine... she hopes.
Meanwhile, there are things going on in the castle and the city that cannot be explained. Too many players are involved and Celaena has very few people she can trust, yet she must find out who is behind it all before she loses everything, and everyone, she has come to love.
We get a lot more background info in this and ... of, well, everything else too. Murder, betrayal, magic, love triangles, friendships and choices that will domino effect everyone around Celaena, who must keep the secrets, or die trying.
Maas' writing never falters. She spins a tale of secrets, of suspense, of hope...
...and then yells "Plot Twist" and you're left there stunned, in tears and turning the page as fast as possible. Watch your eyes in this one, mine kept glancing over the pages and hello, major plot points!
Your heart breaks a few times throughout this one, so have the kleenex nearby if you're a big crier like I am. and it's only book two, sheesh.
One night changes everything.
Blood is all that matters.
Trust no one.
Do not be afraid.
