## Description

Crown of Midnight: From the # 1 Sunday Times best-selling author of A Court of Thorns and Roses (Throne of Glass) : Maas, Sarah J.: desertcart.co.uk: Books

Review: It will leave readers gasping for breath! - Crown of Midnight was an action-packed, fast-paced and expertly-plotted sequel that will leave readers gasping for breath one moment and with tears pouring down their face the next. It not only will leave you wanting more, it will make you want to be a part of the vivid world Maas has created. I loved book one, and had no idea how Maas would be able to improve for the sequel, but her writing blew me away. As for Celaena Sardothien, Adarlan's Assassin and now the King's Champion, you got to have a more in-depth understanding of her character. From hunting down traitors of the Adarlan's throne for the King, to her love for chocolate cake, Celaena just grows throughout this novel. Yes, she's still arrogant and flirtatious, still walks with undeniable swagger in her steps but you also see her fall in love and deliberate how people feel towards her. While Celaena yields Damaris, the sacred sword that belonged to the first King of Adarlan, as her weapon, Maas' is clearly words. When I opened the first page of Crown of Midnight, I became completely engrossed into the world she had created once again. So in-grossed in fact, I hardly put this book down until I had finished reading it. The plotting was just incredible as well as the understanding of the world and it's history. There's an effortless quality of being able to trick the reader, in a way where a plot twist is thrown at you when you're least expecting it. Just like Celaena's victims, as a fair share of blood is spilled during the novel, you never see it coming. The writing is elegant, beautiful and descriptive - I can't believe I'm saying this is even stronger than that in Throne of Glass. Plot-wise, as Celaena can't bare to kill for the crown, she is putting those who she loves at risk. As Celaena continues to fake deaths, knowing the King could find out at any moment, she leans that there is something even deadlier taking place in the Castle. Once again, it is left to Celaena to discover what it is and try to solve it, which allows the tension to build as she learns more. As for the characters, there was this perfect contrast of good-and-bad, the heroes and the villains. Celaena does clearly favour one man in particular during this novel, and the romance for me was breath-taking. Chaol and Dorian's friendship was something I learnt a lot more about, as well as where their loyalties lie. Nehemia: the kind-hearted Ellylle Princess and Celaena's closet friend, was continuing to fight for the slaves in Calaculla while someone plots against her. There's also a talking door-knob and a witch with iron teeth - what more could you want from a sequel? The only comment I could make in a negative way would be the fact, with so much going on, at the end I became confused. I did in a way feel like I had missed something but, when you tie it all together, the next book is going to be ground-breaking! Words can't describe how much I loved this - you should read it for yourself to find out. Immediately! 4.5 Stars Fans of Throne of Glass will be gripped to this read, and will love getting to know more about the characters they fell in love with in book one.
Review: Prepare yourself – this one’s a wild ride - “It was hard to care, she realised as she started the trek back to the castle. Incredibly hard to care, when you didn’t have anyone left to care about.” YES. Yes yes yes. This book delivered everything I wanted. It upped the stakes, the action, and the emotional punch. Celaena Sardothien? Absolute queen. This sequel was intense, gripping, and honestly impossible to put down. From the moment she strode towards the king with that cape flowing and a head dangling from her hand? CHILLS The men were a little less annoying this time around – but yeah, they’re still men 🙄 And from chapter 48 on? I physically could not stop reading. I buddy-read this with my best friend, and it was WORTH IT. I insulted characters, held my breath, and felt so much pride for Celaena. If you’re craving a badass heroine, action that doesn’t quit, and some light but compelling romance without unnecessary smut, you NEED this in your life. Synopsis: Celaena Sardothien, the King’s Champion, has been tasked with eliminating his enemies. But Celaena has her own plans. Torn between her deadly assignments and the secrets she’s uncovering, she must navigate palace intrigue, dangerous magic, and the weight of her past. One wrong move could cost her everything – but Celaena is never one to back down from a fight. What to Expect: 🗡️ Assassin queen energy 👑 Epic power moves 🔥 High-stakes tension 💀 Gruesome, but in the best way 📖 Unputdownable from chapter 48 on Prepare yourself – this one’s a wild ride

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Just an honest (unpaid) review
*by M***S on 9 July 2025*

Absolutely brilliant! Crown of Midnight took everything I loved about Throne of Glass and turned it up a notch. The stakes are higher, the twists are sharper, and the emotional depth is far more intense. Sarah J. Maas masterfully balances action, intrigue, and heartbreak in a way that kept me completely hooked from start to finish. Celaena’s character development is phenomenal in this instalment—fierce, vulnerable, and utterly compelling. The plot is packed with secrets, betrayals, and jaw-dropping reveals that had me gasping out loud more than once. And that ending? Devastating and brilliant in equal measure. If you’re on the fence after book one, Crown of Midnight will absolutely win you over. A must-read for fantasy lovers who enjoy strong heroines, rich world-building, and a story that refuses to let go.
