Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:
• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!
My Teaser: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
It was a freedom that she was still working for, because even though she’d tasted it only for a heartbeat, it had been the most exquisite heartbeat she’d ever experienced.
She took a steadying breath and looked him in the eye. It was time.
“The king sent me to kill you.”
-- Crown of Midnight, page 83
Title: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
Series: Throne of Glass, #2
Add to Goodreads
Crowned by Evil.
Bound by Duty.
Divided by Love.
Celaena Sardothien, royal assassin, is the King of Adarlan's deadliest weapon. She must win her freedom through his enemies' blood - but she cannot bear to kill for the crown. And every death Celaena fakes, every lie she tells, put those she loves at risk.
Torn between her two protectors - a captain and a prince - and battling a dark force far greater than the king, Celaena must decide what she will fight for: her liberty, her heart or the fate of a kingdom...-- As seen on Goodreads
What do you think? Have you read the Throne of Glass books and what are you reading this week?
Leave a link to your post so I can stop by, or tell us in the comments, Happy Reading!
Great teaser!! This is such a fantastic book, and you teased a very enticing piece. Celaena is such a wonderful character! Here's My Teaser and Happy Veteran's Day!
ReplyDeleteI love Celaena! She's so complex and entertaining and I loved seeing a different side to her here. And I completely agree that this book is fantastic! I didn't think Throne of Glass could be beaten, but Crown of MIdnight is even better! :D Thanks for stopping by Kerry!
DeleteI've not read this book and your teaser was brilliant - I love the exquisite heartbeat! Thanks for visiting my TT http://cleopatralovesbooks.wordpress.com/2014/11/11/teaser-tuesday-november-11/
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Cleo! I love this series so much, I highly recommend it ;)
DeleteOOoh nice tease! Couldn't get into this series myself sadly, but very eager for her new one next year!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Sorry you couldn't get into the series, Jessica :( (It's on it's way to being one of my all-time favourites!) I can't wait for A Crown of Thorns and Roses, it sounds like it'll be epic :D
DeleteSounds intense! Thanks for sharing and enjoy. And thanks for visiting my blog.
ReplyDeleteThanks Laurel, I loved Crown of Midnight :) Thankfully I had the next book in the series so I could start it right away :D The wait until book four will be excruciating though! Thanks for stopping by :)
DeleteI'm wondering how she became a royal assassin, but she doesn't like to kill. Sounds like an interesting character.
ReplyDeleteMy Tuesday post features THE LEGACY LETTERS.
Oooh Celaena likes to kill... just not in the name of the King ;-) Personally, I love her character! She's so fiery, entertaining and deadly yet... girly. It's such a strange mix, but it works so well. It's awesome to see a female character embrace her femininity though, especially with assassins :) Thanks for stopping by Sandra!
DeleteOh I have a novella about this series but didn't care for this character. :(

Aww, sorry you didn't connect with Celaena :( I own all novella's and I thought about reading them when I finished Throne of Glass, but decided to read the main books that have been published first. Thanks for stopping by, Sonia :)
DeleteWell, that's blunt and to the point. Thanks for stopping by my teaser!
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather :)
DeleteDivided by love - always a story for the ages. Thanks for stopping by my TT about one of Harris' Sookie Stackhouse books at http://wp.me/pZnGI-fu

Hope you like the series if you try it :D Thanks for stopping by!
DeleteLove that teaser! It really makes me want to know more. I haven't started this series yet but plan to soon. I even own Throne of Glass so that's a good start :)
ReplyDeleteThanks Trish! And YAY you have Throne of Glass :D I loved it, and while it takes a little while to settle into the world, it's completely worth it. And Crown of Midnight is so much better :D I really hope you love the series :)
DeleteI haven't started the Throne of Glass series yet, but wow, that teaser was amazing! I want to know everything else that happens now :) Thanks for sharing, Alma.
ReplyDeleteLexxie @ (un)Conventional Bookviews
Thanks Lexxie! The Throne of Glass series is so amazing! It's one of those series that has lived up to the hype that surrounds it (and I thought Crown of Midnight was even better than ToG!) Hope you love the series when you start it :D
