Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas-5 Stars



(reposting from Goodreads)
Oh. My. Good Gravy.
Poor Chaol. I feel so bad for that big bombshell happening just when he can't do anything about it. I saw that reveal coming, but then I was kinda supposed to since I had access to Celaena's thoughts while he didn't. But dang...
I don't even quite know what to say about this book. It made me laugh, it made me cry, it made me gasp, it made me get all kinds of sweet butterflies-in-stomach feelings before ripping them away (again, poor Chaol. I feel bad for you, son), it made me angry that I now have to wait for the next book to come out (NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!). Celaena was even better than the first book (clever, clever girl), Chaol made me swoon all the time, and Dorian's growth as a character was interesting as well (poor kid. He's going to have a hard time of it in the next book, I can tell). My only complaint is that some of the foreshadowing was a teensy bit heavy-handed, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story at all. And I thought this book did a much better job switching from POVs than the last book, much clearer this time.
And that's all I can really say at the moment because my feelings are just too crazy and jumbled to really process the end of this book and the wait for the next one. Why? Why do I have to wait? WHYYYYYY?!
