Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2)
Sarah J. Mass
August 27, 2013
An assassin’s loyalties are always in doubt.
But her heart never wavers.
After a year of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world, and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?

I'm really loving the female assassin type books as of late. I read Throne of Glass last year and enjoyed it. Hoping to like this one just as much if not more. Also, I love the cover!
I haven't read book 1, but I'm not sure if I will or not. I've seen mixed reviews.

Everybody is so excited for this. I still need to read the first book, but have ordered it from my library. I can't wait to read it. Great pick! Thanks for stopping by my WoW!
ReplyDeleteI've been wanting to start this series! I've heard great things!
ReplyDeleteI haven't read the first book yet, but for some reason I thought it was a standalone... Now that I know it's a series, I guess I should hurry up and read the first book so I don't get hopelessly behind! :P
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog. :)
