Teaser Tuesday: Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas



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

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?

    1. I 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!

    1. 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

    1. Thanks 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 :)

  5. I'm wondering how she became a royal assassin, but she doesn't like to kill. Sounds like an interesting character.
    My Tuesday post features THE LEGACY LETTERS.

    1. 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!

    1. 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 :)

    1. 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
