It's still one of my most favorite series and maybe it's because it was my second full series in the fantasy genre I ever read. For some reason I always get in the mood to revisit these characters especially when it's cold outside. I think I like to read fantasy when it's cold out. I was either in the mood for Celaena or Feyre and Celaena won this time.

This is only book 2 of this series but it is so good. It left me wanting to dive right into the next book. I have heard nothing but good things and so far everyone is spot on. Love Sarah J. Maas's writing. She is a master fantasy writer, I never saw any of what happened coming. Amazing book!

This is a re-read for me and it was even more amazing the second time around. Heir of Fire was my favorite at the time and Crown of Midnight was my least favorite of the 4 books I had read but I don't know why that was because I know I loved it far more this time around then I did the first time. I had forgotten some of the book and I am so happy I decided to pick up the whole series and re-read them all. Empire of Storms, Tower of Doom and Kingdom of Ask will all be brand new for me and I am so happy I don't have to wait a year in between each book to come out. I get to power through them all at one time...no waiting involved.

Maybe because I was used to Celaena's narration, or possibly because of the expanding mystery of the story, but I enjoyed this second book more than the first. I like that Maas continued the smaller dramas, such as Celaena's feelings for Chaol, and tested them with the rising danger in the larger world. The revelations are well timed (though sometimes they can be a little obvious with all of Maas' hints) and I cannot wait to get my hands on the next book.

I think the description of the fighting s ...more
