4.5 stars!BAM! The reviews weren't over-hyping it when they said this book would be AWESOME. Of course, I still felt wary after the disappointment over book one...but when glowing reviews from people who had the same issues as I did (Celeana constantly bragging about her status as the BEST ASSASSIN ever but little or no action to back it up...) rolled in, I allowed myself to hope. I was NOT let down.The twists and turns in Crown of Midnight were fantastic. Although some of them were predictable (like Celeana's true identity), the way the information was eventually pieced together to form the big picture was simply marvelous. I was a wee bit disappointed when it was another character who got offed instead of the one I initially predicted. The dead person didn't have much page time so it didn't impact me much. The impact of the death on Celeana however, was devastating and set up a chain of events and revealed a much bigger plot. If possible, I hope I would have the strength to resist reading the next book the moment it comes out...the wait for all seven books would indeed be torturous. >.
