I blazed through Crown of Midnight (4/5 stars) and Heir of Fire (3/5 stars) so fast I decided to review them together. Also this gives me more time to focus on reading Queen of Shadows!

What it’s about: the saga of the teenage assassin, Celaena Sardothian, continues… I won’t say more because inadvertent spoilers would certainly ruin your enjoyment of the series. If you’re interested in knowing more, check out my review of Book 1, Throne of Glass.
For me, Crown of Midnight (Book 2) had the edge over Heir of Fire (Book 3).
Throne of Glass lit a bank of fuses and we get to see the fireworks go off in Crown of Midnight, making it a gripping, extremely entertaining read. However, I did roll my eyes a lot at the supposed “mystery” surrounding Celaena’s origins and who she might be. By the time we get to the final pages and all is revealed, I’d spent practically the whole book cursing the characters for their stupidity, even if that stupidity served the plot.
Wait! There’s more. Click for the rest of the review.
