This is remedied half way through the book when she unleashes her darkness in a way that I can only describe as Mary Sue the Ninja. It made me wonder if Maas was having trouble truly associating her character with the more negative aspects of being known as Adarlan’s Assassin – namely, the assassin part. The King’s Champion proves herself conniving, with questionable negotiations, but she certainly doesn’t prove herself deadly. Crown of Midnight initially made me believe I was finally getting to see what I wanted to see, but we quickly find out otherwise. The second book in the #1 New York Times bestselling Throne of Glass series returns listeners to a land destroyed by liars, where one woman’s truth is the only thing that can save them all.As much as I enjoyed Throne of Glass, one thing that bugged me (other than Celaena’s arrogance) was the fact that Celaena is supposedly the renowned and feared Adarlan’s Assassin, but beyond her own boasting, she didn’t do anything assassiny. 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.

Then, one terrible night, the secrets they have all been keeping lead to an unspeakable tragedy. 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. Though she goes to great lengths to hide her secret, her deadly charade becomes more difficult when she realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. Maas.Ĭelaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become the King’s Champion. Maas, read by Elizabeth Evans.Ĭelaena’s story continues in this second book in the #1 bestselling Throne of Glass series by Sarah J.
