“Crown of Midnight” by Sarah J. Moss (book review)

This fantasy sequel to “Throne of Glass” picks up almost immediately after that first book. Royal assassin Celaena is conflicted about working with the king vs. supporting the rebellion, starting a relationship when every relationship has ended badly for her, and how to control and keep silent about the newfound magical powers erupting from within. It’s a fast-paced read, full of twists and turns, excellent action, and more bloody fights. Other than a plot twist that seemed a tad contrived, I loved the book, and I didn’t want to stop when it finished.
