Nehemia is one character I actually didn't care for, and that may be going against the grain. Dorian is still there, of course, but they remain (very awkward) friends, growing closer as more and more of the plot is revealed. One of my favorite parts of the book is the romance with Chaol! The love triangle is GONE (thank goodness) and she can focus her attentions on the man she actually cares about.

Still, she continued to be an enjoyable character. But is she really? In this book we see Celaena with a heart, which is a little confusing, to be honest, after book one went to such lengths to establish her as a badass assassin. This one picks up shortly after book one left off, with Celaena as the king's champion, going about 'killing' all of his enemies. Crown of Midnight was most definitely the better book of the two, but I still came away with a lot of questions. I did enjoy it, but it didn't completely blow me away. Throne of Glass was a book that I was really encouraged (read: forced) to read and finally gave into a couple months ago. and whom she is ultimately willing to fight for. As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie. Then one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. It seems no one is above questioning her allegiances-not the Crown Prince Dorian not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard not even her best friend, Nehemia, a foreign princess with a rebel heart. As she tries to untangle the mysteries buried deep within the glass castle, her closest relationships suffer. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. She hides her secret vigilantly she knows that the man she serves is bent on evil.

Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. It puts this entire castle in jeopardy-and the life of your friend.'įrom the throne of glass rules a king with a fist of iron and a soul as black as pitch.
