Yup, still loved this one. The first book really was just a small solid foundation for this book and the rest of the series. I truly love how it gets built upon. There were some parts I forgot that I really enjoyed once more, and parts that stuck with me that still hit hard this time through. Truly, I adore this series.

Crown of Midnight's predecessor, Throne of Glass, really can't hold a flame to it. CoM is such a strong sequel. Maas stepped up her game for this book, and delivered such a strong story that there were twists and turns that floored me, and I've read the book before! And one thing I've discovered is that every little thing is by design. Having read all of the currently printed books in the series I see so many tiny connections now that I never even thought to put together the first time.

This book has a bit of everything, betrayal, loyalty, a smidgen of romance, all around badassery, a bit of horror and plenty of action. It's a book you stay up until 4am to finish because there's just no possible way you can wait to find out what happens next. The characters are so much vivid and well-written in this book and you will find yourself incredibly invested in their lives, especially when all of their lines don't go how you expected and suddenly you're torn but still so in sync with them all.

Oh, and that ending *rubs hands together* what a crazy thing, and so well done that a part of me was still floored by what I knew was coming. The reread has proved again why I love this series so much and why it's one of my favorites.

**********************

This book was friggen incredible. I enjoyed the first book of this series but this book? I LOVED IT. Maas knows exactly how to manipulate me as a reader in every way, shape, and form. It was thrilling and interesting. I guessed so many things and go some right and some massively wrong and I loved every second of it. Even the parts where I was crying... A truly great read. ...more

Spoiler-Filled Review: http://myfantabulousbookshelf.blogspo...

Slowly I'm being entangled into this web of intense plots and realistic to-die-for characters as the plot gradually transitions from the simplicity I thought it was going to be to the complicated mess it will become.

There's honestly no way for me to discuss any part of this book without spoiling some aspect of it, and every part of this book should be experienced firsthand. So if you haven't already done so, definitely give this book ...more

This book was probably one of the best that I've read in a long time! It filled my heart with so much joy and happiness, then torn it to shreds(if you read it, then you can probably guess the scenes that happened in)! However, the ending was still good(Not a super huge cliffhanger to which I'm very happy about). The surprises and twists weren't really surprises to me when revealed, but I still thoroughly enjoyed them. :)

Though I will seriously cry my eyes out if Chaol and her don't end up toget ...more
