    armcginn's book review was featured in Heir of Fire (Throne of Glass).
    Our favorite, feisty assassin is back again in the third installment of Sarah J. Maas’ Throne Of Glass Series! Celaena is on her way to Wendlyn- lost, broken, and set on revenge. But her Aunt Maeve- the Fae queen, has ordered her tracked down and brought in. Celeana questions her about the Wyrdkeys… but nothing comes without a cost. She trains with the Fae warrior Rowan Whitethorn, learning to control her power as requested by Maeve- in a world full of immortal warriors, being an assassin isn’t enough to keep you alive. But to unlock her true power she must stop running from who she’s meant to be- and become who she was born to be. Enthralling, gripping, delightful, and inspiring, Throne of Glass has yet to disappoint- the series is artfully written, the characters are well-formed & complex and the plotline is beautifully structured. Be sure to have the next book- Queen of Shadows ready for when you finish, you won’t be able to put it down! I would recommend the series for middle school and up.

    Celeana Sardothien is back- the saucy and poised assassin, champion to the crown of Rifthold, and keeper of a secret that could shatter her world... and bring the king's deadly down wrath upon her. She's desperate for freedom, but the king wants the rebels- her greatest potential allies in Rifthold- exterminated! And by her doing! Celeana is forced to question her loyalties. Would she really risk it all? A dark force still lurks in Rifthold, within the castle- an inevitable threat looming ever closer. Yet a greater threat still dawns- and this time from the Wendlyn. In the end, there is only one way out of the darkness- To let her true self show through and bring light to her world. Artfully written and fast-paced with an intriguing plotline, when it comes to thrill Crown of Midnight’s got it all! I would recommend it for middle school and up. Readers beware! Keep the next book Heir of Fire on hand- Cliffhangers ahead!

    Sarah J Maas' Throne of Glass tells the story of 18-year-old assassin Celaena Sardothien. She was once the most famous assassin in all of Adarlan. She was also a slave in the salt mines of Endovier. Now, dragged from the mines after a year of suffering by Dorian Havilliard- the crown prince of Adarlan himself, she must fight her way past some of the top thieves, warriors, murderers, and assassins, in a perilous competition to become the king's champion- and after three years of service comes the real prize- the promise of her freedom. When contestants start turning up dead, Celaena decides to hunt down the mysterious and ruthless killer, and ensure she won't be their next victim... but unbeknownst to Celana, sinister forces are at play deep within the castle- more horrifying than imaginable- and they're after her. To gain a fighting chance, she must unearth the warrior Endovier buried deep inside. Personally, I'd recommend it to middle schoolers and older. I would also recommend having the next book in the series (Crown of Midnight) on hand- you won't be able to wait to see what happens next! The plot was engaging and complex- the book was very well written! Fans of Veronica Roth's Red Queen and Keira Kass' The Selection will delight in this book! Enjoy!
