Despite this being my fourth time reading this, i've yet to write a review so here we go!
Where the Throne of Glass series is undisputedly YA and the first book in the series much more so, Crown of Midnight takes the genre up a notch with its complex relationships, multiple plot lines and amazing host of characters that all have so much to offer.
I could not put this down and when I had to for sake of raising my child, I was highly annoyed lol. Celaena finally gets to do some gory assassin stuff considering she is in fact an assassin, which we didn't see much of in book 1. She gets into a a heart warming and later gut wrenching romantic relationship while forming deeper bonds of friendship with Nehemia.
i loved how it goes further into the plot line of how magic went missing from Erilea and on many reveals there are about the world, the past and Celaena herself.
ToG is SJM at her finest and CoM is the first step towards the rest of the series becoming a powerhouse in the genre. Despite knowing what's to come, I anticipate going back into the story with such excitement which is something I fervently miss about story telling.
