The second book in the Throne of Glass series, and I’m going to be honest right out the bat, Crown of Midnight took me a bit of time to read and get into. However, as the story progressed, I could feel myself pulling my way up closer to a potential 4/5 rating, but we just didn’t quite make it.

We’re heading into Throne of Glass spoilers for anyone who hasn’t read the first book yet, so if you haven’t, you’ve been warned! Otherwise, if you have read the first book of the series, then let’s get right into it.

We’re rolling right in to the first book of the Throne of Glass series titled—if you can guess--Throne of Glass. If you read these books in chronological order, not publishing order, then you’ll know where we left off and where our main character, Celaena Sardothien, has been hanging out.

If not, well, welcome to the Throne of Glass series, which starts off in the salt mines of Endovier. This location is a slave camp, where those imprisoned in the salt mines suffer years of hard labour and live in absolute squalor. So, as you can imagine, after spending a year here, Celaena is having a great time (sarcasm, in case you missed it).
​
That’s until she’s brought to the Crown Prince—known as Dorian Havilliard—by Captain of the Guard, Chaol Westfall.

​​A collection of five short stories, The Assassin’s Blade follows the story of the young and deadly assassin, Celaena Sardothien, and truly sets up the epic Throne of Glass series. It provides an in-depth look into how her character has been built, and what has led to the events that unfold in the first book of the Throne of Glass series.
