Yeah I know this one is probably going to be on everyone's WoW's this week but I can't help it! I need this book like NOW! I am so addicted to this series and Chaol!!!!
Lost and broken, Celaena Sardothien's only thought is to avenge the savage death of her dearest friend: as the King of Adarlan's Assassin, she is bound to serve this tyrant, but he will pay for what he did. Any hope Celaena has of destroying the king lies in answers to be found in Wendlyn. Sacrificing his future, Chaol, the Captain of the King's Guard, has sent Celaena there to protect her, but her darkest demons lay in that same place. If she can overcome them, she will be Adarlan's biggest threat - and his own toughest enemy. While Celaena learns of her true destiny, and the eyes of Erilea are on Wendlyn, a brutal and beastly force is preparing to take to the skies. Will Celaena find the strength not only to win her own battles, but to fight a war that could pit her loyalties to her own people against those she has grown to love? This third novel in the Throne of Glass sequence, from New York Times bestselling author Sarah J. Maas, is packed with more heart-stopping action, devastating drama and swoonsome romance, and introduces some fierce new heroines to love and hate.
So what do you
think? Will you be adding this to your pile? What are you dying to read this

This week the book I’m dying to read is Crown of Midnight by Sarah J
Maas!!!!! I loved Throne of Glass and I have been desperately missing Chaol and
Celaena and Dorian too lol.
After a year
of hard labor in the Salt Mines of Endovier, eighteen-year-old assassin Celaena
Sardothien has won the king's contest to become the new royal assassin. Yet
Celaena is far from loyal to the crown – a secret she hides from even her most
intimate confidantes.
Keeping up the
deadly charade—while pretending to do the king's bidding—will test her in
frightening new ways, especially when she's given a task that could jeopardize
everything she's come to care for. And there are far more dangerous forces
gathering on the horizon -- forces that threaten to destroy her entire world,
and will surely force Celaena to make a choice.
Where do the
assassin’s loyalties lie, and who is she most willing to fight for?
So what do you think?
Will you be adding this to your pile? What are you dying to read this week?
After serving out a year of hard labor in the salt mines of Endovier for her crimes, 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien is dragged before the Crown Prince. Prince Dorian offers her her freedom on one condition: she must act as his champion in a competition to find a new royal assassin.
Her opponents are men—thieves and assassins and warriors from across the empire, each sponsored by a member of the kings council. If she beats her opponents in a series of eliminations, she’ll serve the kingdom for three years and then be granted her freedom.
Celaena finds her training sessions with the captain of the guard, Westfall, challenging and exhilirating. But she’s bored stiff by court life. Things get a little more interesting when the prince starts to show interest in her... but it’s the gruff Captain Westfall who seems to understand her best.
Then one of the other contestants turns up dead... quickly followed by another. Can Celaena figure out who the killer is before she becomes a victim? As the young assassin investigates, her search leads her to discover a greater destiny than she could possibly have imagined.
Ok so y’all are probably sick of me saying how much I love High
Fantasy. Well too bad…. I LOVE HIGH FANTASY!!!!! Lol and Throne of Glass is no exception! It’s freaking fantastic!!!
Sarah J. Maas is an amazing writer! Her world building is very
descriptive and beautiful and her characters? Oh my don’t get me started on her
characters! I loved Chaol and am Team Chaol all the way! He is gorgeous, brave,
smart, and sarcastic some of my favorite qualities in a man. But there’s
another one or two characters that I loved too! Dorian which sucks by the way;
I wanted to hate him! I wanted him to be an ass so I could hate him but, I
couldn’t not one bit. He was so sweet and loving and gorgeous as well and damn it
he made loving Chaol and only Chaol hard. Also there is a thief named Nox that
stole a tiny piece of my heart but thank goodness not Celaena’s because if that
would have happened we would have had a very awkward love square lol.
Speaking
of Celaena she’s one of the most kick ass heroines I’ve encountered in a long
time! I mean she’s an assassin so she’s badass but, what I loved about her was
that not only was she tough but, she had morals and cared about people and
things like animals and social issues too!
Ooh and the story itself? It’s absolutely wonderful!!!!! There’s
romance, court intrigue, danger, magic, and crazy plot twists! It’s one of the
best stories I’ve read in 2012! I seriously can’t wait for book 2 and psst here’s
a tip too Sarah wrote 3 prequel novellas and they’re only 99cents! So go get
those too!
I chose one of my most favorite scenes from the book to share with y’all
and it’s where I really think I started to fall for Chaol!
He stared her
down, quiet for a moment. “Are you that arrogant?” She bristled, but he went
on. “It was foolish to spar with you just now. I’ll admit that I hadn’t
realized you’d be that good. Thankfully, no one noticed. And do you know why
Lillian?” He took a step closer, jis voice lowering. “Because you’re a pretty
little girl. Because you’re a nobody jewel thief from a small city in Fenharow.
Look around.” He half-turned to the other champions. “Is anyone staring at you?
Are any of them sizing you up? No. Because you’re not real competition. Because
you don’t stand between them and whatever freedom or wealth they’re looking
for.”
“Exactly! It’s
insulting!”
“It’s smart
that’s what it is. And you’re going to keep a low profile throughout this
entire competition. You’re not going to excel, and you’re not going to trounce
those thieves and soldiers and unknown assassins. You’re going to stay in the
middle, where no one will look your way, because you’re not a threat, because
they’ll think that you’ll be eliminated sooner or later, and they should focus
their attention on getting rid of bigger, stronger, faster champions like Cain.
“But you’re going to outlast them,” Chaol
continued. “And when they wake up on the morning of the final duel and find
that you are their opponent, and that you have beaten them, the look on their
faces will make all the insults and lack of attention worthwhile.” He extended
his hand to lead her outside. “So what do you have to say about that, Lillian
Gordaina?”
“I can look out
for myself,” she said lightly, taking his hand. “But I have to say that you’re
rather brilliant, Captain. So brilliant, actually, that I might give you one of
the jewels I plan to steal from the queen tonight.”
Chaol chuckled,
and they strode outside to where the running contest awaited.
And if this isn’t
enough for you there’s an awesome trailer check it out!
