My Review:
*I own a copy of this book*
3.5/5
stars
After my
disappointment with Throne of Glass I was tentatively hoping that Crown of
Midnight would be better.
For the
first three quarters I was feeling like this:
But then
the pace and plot suddenly exploded and my rating for this book went from a
barely 3 to the 4 side of 3.5. I couldn't put it down and while the 'surprises'
weren't as impactful as the author probably planned I enjoyed this overall.
Celaena
was a lot more kick-ass in this one (finally) and I found the romance
quite predictable but it didn't annoy me as much as it did in the first
book.
I'm
still disappointed that I'm not enjoying the series as much as I'd hoped or as
much as everyone else seems to but I'm planning to continue with the series.
