Stars 2/5
Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas
**SPOILER ALERT**
Trigger Warning - Female on Male Abuse
One thing I will say about this book is that it is very well written... BUT... I do not like the main character Celaena Sardothien. I think for a person being raised and taught as an assassin, she is very childish and even a hypocrite. It is fine when she holds back secrets but turns on others when they do the same. The two male characters in this book, Crown Prince Dorian and Chaol, the Captain of the Guard, are written to be weak and even cowards compared to her which is icky to read. If Chaol would of attacked her the same way she attacked him, scarring his face and trying to kill him, everyone would hate him. Regardless of all the crap Celaena went through in her life, what she did was abusive and there is no excuses for this. I will read the next book in the series to see if things improve, but will not continue if this female on male abuse continues. I would not recommend if you are triggered with female on male abuse.
