I received this book for free from Netgalley in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.
Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien’s only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan’s Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King’s Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan’s biggest threat – and his own toughest enemy. While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love?

Throne of Glass book review Crown of Midnight book review
It’s official. I’m calling it. The Throne of Glass series is my new favorite series and it’s also my top three favorite reads of 2014. I love everything about this series that Sarah J. Maas has created (and I love her! She is the nicest person and is one of those authors that will actually reply back to you on Twitter)
I thought that the first two were amazing, but this book is my favorite so far. We got to see Celaena face her Fae side and it was so cool! Getting to read about Celaene learn how to control her magic was one of my favorite parts of this book.
I LOVED the new Fae and Demi-Fae characters in this book with Rowan being my favorite. I loved reading about his backstory and I just really liked his character! He has so many layers and I can’t wait to continue reading about him! I’m definitely interested in how he is going to tie into the rest of this series!
Okay, so although I really love Rowan, were you guys freaking out a bit though?! It’s insane because during the first two books, I adored Chaol. I really liked Celaena and Chaol together, but after the end of Crown of Midnight… I don’t think that they can come back from that. Every time she thinks of him she thinks of her best friend lying dead on a bed. (Real romantic) I feel like that will always hang over them.
Another huge issue is one that Dorian already pointed out and that’s that Chaol struggles with accepting Celaena for who she really is, Aelin. It’s almost like he wishes that he could just love certain parts of her, but you can’t do that. And now, Celaena is embracing her true Fae side even more. She is stepping up and is becoming who she was born to be. She should only surround herself with people that will help her move forward, and not hold her back. I mean she is a QUEEN. She has other people to think about.
I thought that Aedion was another very interesting character. Starting out you naturally hate him because he acts terrible to Dorian and Chaol. But I love that he proved me wrong. I’m excited to learn more about him! (read more of my thoughts about him in the “spoilers” section)
Manon Blackbeak was another new character that was pretty interesting. I’ll admit, during her first few chapters I was bored and irritated. I JUST wanted to read about Celaena, but as I read I became more and more engrossed in her story. I read on Sarah J. Maas’s blog that she originally wasn’t planning on introducing her in the series until the last book, or the second to last book. She just loved her character so much and couldn’t put off writing about her. The witches were scary though, and I honestly believe that some of them don’t have hearts, but I think Manon does which makes her so interesting. I’m excited to read more about her and Abraxos. HOWEVER, I’m terrified because they are working for the king. I don’t want those witches anywhere near my Chaol, Aedion, Rowan, or Celaena!
That ending. Oh man. I don’t know how I can I wait until 2015. Until then, I’ll continue to look at Sarah J. Maas’s Pinterest board to figure out clues for the rest of the series!
Do you all love this series just as much as I do?!

http://bewitchedbookworms.com/ Danny Bookworm Hey Review-Twin:)) AND YES to everything you said, I also think Rowan is good for her and I’m a little sad she has her heart set on Chaol, you are right he does not seem to accept her for what she is. He odes not make her stronger, but Rowan does! I think she will end up with Chaol, but I would rather see her with Rowan!

Marie Laberge I am really hoping we get a bonus scene at some point of the first bite scene in Heir of Fire but from Rowan’s POV. Just what did he see that suddenly made him ask about how much Celeana’s lover knew about her?
