RATING AND REVIEW

Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2)

5/5

Hook, line, and SINKER. I am a goner. I love the mystery and slow reveal of information. I love Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian.

I don't know what I'll do if it isn't always these three. I love their dynamic and want them to be the three amigos forever.

Oh my god and her hulking out in fae form. AND CHAOL STILL LOVES HER.

AND HER WILL. GAAAHH. MY HEART.

And Dorian just being infinitely sweet and understanding. HE DOES DESERVE A NICE BADASS GAL, IT JUST AIN'T CELAENA. SORRY BUDDY. You a real one to Chaol and Celaena though! I almost thought maybe we could make Nehemia work but.. wyrd rest her soul.

Archer being a fucking rat bastard. I really didn't see that coming. I thought their closeness when they were young meant something. CAN'T TRUST NOBODY.

I knew four names going into this series. Chaol, Aelin, Rowan, and Sam. I know something about soap and Sam? I am not fucking ready for that. I've got confirmation about Aelin finally. But what about Rowan? I am going to flip if he is a love interest. Cause I'm Team fucking Chaol. I survived one love triangle. I don't know if I can survive another. BUT I WILL FOR YOU, CHAOL. YOU FOR!!!

I am not excited to go into book 3 though, simply because we are split up now... idk how long Wendylln is gonna take, but probably too long! I hope Celaena returns and Chaol has like..raised hell (in a good way). Ready to get on one knee or some shiiii. I also hope we continue to get Chaol and Dorian POVs.

Speaking of POVs, Throne of Glass is very interesting. Is it 3rd person? While there is usually a person the POV focuses on, it switches seamlessly between people. And even though we literally get everyone's thoughts and feelings at one point or another, we still have mystery and unknown. I love it.

It'd be perfect too, since now he made the promise to go back and Lord over Anielle. She'll come back as a Queen, and bring world peace. Amen.

Also, idk if this one is a 4.75, or I need to bump ToG1 up to a 4.25. The gap is too large, when I don't feel like 1 was that less good. I just gotta keep this in mind as I review more, in case I come across a true 4 or 5. It'll help me figure this out.

Ch 23 Crown of Midnight

"Where will you go?"

"Anywhere. As far away as I can get."

"And what would you do?"

"Live my life, I suppose. Live it the way I want to, for once. Learn how to be a normal girl."

"How far away?"

"I'd travel until I found a place where they'd never heard of Adarlan. If such a place exists."

. . .

"We'll find that place, then."

"What?"

"I'll go with you."

"What about being Captain of the Guard?"

"Perhaps my duties aren't what I expected them to be."

"You love your country. I can't let you give all that up."

"I would be the greatest fool in the world to let you go alone."

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH CHAOL, I LOVE YOU

Ch 32 Crown of Midnight

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH i AM STILL SCREAMING ABOUT-

-NEHEMIA. I MEAN I AM PRETTY SURE SHE STAGED THIS DEATH TO SPARK CELAENA'S POWERS ?? OR SOMETHING. BASED ON THAT OMINOUS CHAPTER WITH QUEEN AND PRINCESS. BUT LIKE WTF. SHE IS JUST DEAD.

AND NOW IT IS RUINED WITH CHAOL. HOW SHORT LIVED. ALTHOUGH I KNOW CELAENA IS NOT JADED. SHE HAS PERSEVERED THROUGH WORSE AND STILL SEEN GOOD IN PEOPLE.

WE GOT A LOT OF WORK TO DO CHAOL. GET ON IT.

Ch 5 Crown of Midnight

I am soooo fucked when I have to pick up Assasin's Blade-

-like I am already tearing up, just at her memories of Sam. To fucking READ about them? Oh, it is over for me.

Also I am hook line and sinkered. When I am not reading ToG, I am literally thinking about it AND SMILING TO MYSELF.

I said it before, and I'll say it again, the dynamic between Dorian, Chaol, and Celaena is amazing. I am so invested in them. And it is done so well, that I don't feel gross about her possibly being into both of them. Since it isn't even her main focus. The friendship is the priority. Or rather, their safety, etc. Since she distanced herself from Dorian for now.

If it isn't these 3 for the whole series, I will be disappointed. Or atleast Chaol. Keep Chaol, thanks. A man of the people.

I have been thinking a lot about Yitzhak. Specifically about how the hell he was able to control a BEAR.

A BEAR

I mean, I understand that before that, the bear tried to kill him, but after that, he followed what he said.

Can be Yitzhak a god or something like that? 😭

The Old Guard 2

so I finally watched it… life happened and I lost track and anyway here we are… finally watched TOG2 and… I’m… so… disappointed??? What was that??? I don’t know what happened??? I loved TOG and every single character had such depth. TOG2 just felt flat. I know I’m late to the party but anyone wanna share their thoughts on what I’m missing here? How’d we go from all heart to this generic action movie? 🤔😭💔
