Megan and Natalie are diving into the Maas Effect, the SJM world, and everything in-between. This week we are diving into book two, Crown of Midnight. Assassin Celaena Sardothien won a brutal contest to become his Champion. Yet Celaena is far from loyal to the crown. She hides her secret vigilantly; Nehemia hides her secret plans, Chaol hides his secret meetings, and Dorian hides his secret life change abilities. So many secrets so little time and it all means life or death for them all. One of Megan's favorites, this book pushes all our characters to their breaking point.
