About this listen

Bloomsbury presents Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.

‘One of the best fantasy book series of the past decade’ TIME

Never trust an assassin.

Celaena’s story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J. Maas.

Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. But she is far from loyal to the crown. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realises she is not the only one seeking justice. Her search for answers ensnares those closest to her, and no one is safe from suspicion — not the Crown Prince Dorian; not Chaol, the Captain of the Guard; not even her best friend, Nehemia, a princess with a rebel heart.

Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. As Celaena’s world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie ... and what she is willing to fight for.

The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns readers to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can save them all.

Good easy listen, it's certainly not up to Brandon Sanderson standards but worth a listen. The romance goes on a bit when all you want is for the story to continue. Good narrator.

Good but not amazing

Truly excellent- just as good as book 1. Fast paced and gripping. Full of surprises. I can't wait to download the next one. Narration was faultless too. Best books I've read/listened to in a long time

I don’t think this is as strong as other books in this series. I hate how Chaol changes throughout this book it’s just so pathetic and he is pathetic - this is coming from someone who used to like him as a character! I love Dorian and I love seeing the conflict within himself and I love how he grows. I love that we’re moving onto the “Celaena” that I love.

So entertaining. So well paced. So enchanting. Literally all I want to do is keep listening to book after book but real life keeps getting in the way. You will not be disappointed to read/listen to this series.

Ahhh so good!!

A great way to unwind and chill out. Keeps me company while driving and a saga I want to continue in the next chapter.

Lost in the adventure

I like the story and the concept .
The biggest drawback is the main characters bouncing between beeing helpless like a damsel in distress to invincible badass .

pretty good entertainment.

I enjoyed the first book, but one expects a book about an assassin to have assassinations in it and in the first book I was somewhat disappointed.

However, this book does not disappoint. We finally get the blood hit we had been looking for in the first book, and it was well worth the wait.

SPOILER ALERT!: the only thing I would change is that I think Celena should have been far more brutal with how she killed Archer. We know she basically tortured the assassin who killed Nehemia, and it seems like her rage would bring her to be equally brutal with Archer, who masterminded it.

Overall I can’t fault it, 10/10.

More what I had been expecting

These books keep getting better!
