Crown of Midnight: Sarah J. Maas: 2 (Throne of Glass)

Product Information

Celaena finally figures out the full riddle, and it leads to where one of the three Wyrdkeys was hidden.

Celaena tells him about Sam and Chaol tells her about a girl he used to love that Roland stole from him. It rolled to a stop at the foot of the dais, milky eyes turned toward the ornate glass chandelier overhead. It's been obvious since the first book, that Celaena isn't an assassin because she enjoys killing people.Even though the fact that Aelin is alive should be impossible, because she was murdered ten years ago, Celaena decides to give him to the end of the month to fake his own death and flee the city, and meanwhile, give her all the information. Archer says they kidnapped Chaol because they thought he was set to question Nehemia Ytger about her involvement in the rebel movement. Celaena and Nehemia fight because Nehemia wants to free Eyllwe and Celaena thinks it’s madness to go against the king. Also, there’s a threat to Nehemia’s life and the king is a little threatened by her as well, but Chaol doesn’t tell Celaena about this because he doesn’t want the king to question where his loyalties lie.

Under federal law, if you knowingly misrepresent that online material is infringing, you may be subject to criminal prosecution for perjury and civil penalties, including monetary damages, court costs, and attorneys’ fees.

As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie . I had my theories of course, but having it confirmed, and how it was confirmed, was done well in my opinion. Chaol realizes the danger Celaena is in by staying at court, so he convinces the king to send her to Wendlyn to assassinate the royal family there.

Celaena finds a ransom note in his room, so she goes to the address listed and fights her way to Chaol. Archer says they now realize that it’s the king who will question Nehemia very soon, and he thinks they will torture and maybe even kill her. Concealed beneath a black mask and hood, she willed herself to melt into the shadows, to become nothing more than a slip of darkness. It turns out the three things in the riddle are three Wyrdkeys to open the Wyrdgate (to other realms). There are several people on my list of suspected traitors, but I will only give you one name at a time.Because from the moment he'd pulled her out of that mine in Endovier and she had set those eyes upon him, still fierce despite a year in hell, he'd been walking toward this, walking to her. No one had noticed her scaling the garden wall of the darkened manor house, and with the thunder and the gusting wind off the nearby sea, no one heard her as she shimmied up the drainpipe, swung onto the windowsill, and slithered into the second-floor hallway. He explains how he posed as Minister Mullison and hired Grave to kill Nehemia, whom he thought was detrimental to his plan.

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. Celaena blames Chaol for her death since he knew her life had been threatened and didn’t do enough to stop it. She suspects the monster had been human once, because it had a human heart and acted like it as well. Keeping up the deadly charade becomes increasingly difficult when Celaena realizes she is not the only one seeking justice. Celaena realizes Lady Kaltain and Roland have both been having terrible headaches, which probably has something to do with the evil magic.As Celaena's world shatters, she will be forced to give up the very thing most precious to her and decide once and for all where her true loyalties lie. Though she supposed severed limbs and heads would turn the stomachs of most people—even after living for a decade under Adarlan’s rule.
