Finished Crown of Midnight (Throne of Glass #2) 📖✨

I officially understand the hype. I just wrapped up the second book in the ToG series and I have thoughts.

My Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐/5

Quick Take:

The world-building is expanding so beautifully.

Caelena is the definition of a powerhouse.

That ending... I’m shook.

I’m sharing my summary review in today’s video! It is safe for new readers, though I do mention a few minor plot points. If you love high fantasy and emotional damage, this series is for you.

Have you started the SJM universe yet? Tell me where you are in the series!
