Crown of Midnight is the second installment of the Throne of Glass series. The second book picks up right where the first left off, and it gets even better. This novel follows Celaena as she navigates being the King’s Assassin and having to make hard decisions. Her relationships with Dorian and Chaol especially become a little rocky as she has to do things she isn’t proud of. A particularly difficult event leaves friendships strained, but Celaena has to push through to fight for what she believes in.
Throne of Glass is the debut novel of arguably the best fantasy series of all time. Celaena Sardothien is a young woman who is brought out of a salt mine called Endovier in order to serve the King of Adarlan in a competition. She befriends the crown prince himself, Dorian Havilliard, along with the Captain of the Guard, Chaol Westfall. Celaena must compete against a variety of opponents in order to win the King’s favor, using her deadly assassin skills, for which she got arrested for in the first place.

As the competition progresses, Celaena’s competitors begin dying and she must discover which creature is hiding in the castle.
Red Vengeance is not bad for a teen thriller franchise book. This is a superhero story that features Black Widow and Red Widow, her protege. It is a sequel, and I am hoping there will be a third in the series as well about Natasha's past in the shadow organizations.
